Newbie Stacker of the Aged Variety

[Dalriada83]

"Sooner later than never" they say - not sure who "they" are but they seem to be ubiquitous. I've been buying Silver online for about 3 weeks after seeing Backyard Bullion on Youtube by chance (reputable dealers only of course). Unfortunately I am now addicted to the shiny stuff - fortunately my Scottish grandmothers beratements loom large in my skull whenever I am about to do anything fiscally ridiculous. I am also technologically challenged and am still waiting for the 'fad' of computers to pass and for sanity to return - telegraphy, semaphore and carrier pigeons . . . ah, those were the days. But as that does not appear to be on the horizon I have taken to the keyboard like a duck to petrol. I hope to navigate this 'site' with more panache once I figure out what I'm doing but meanwhile - hello ladies and gentlemen of the Argent Aegis, I hope to communicate with more alacrity in the future.

Best Regards

Hello and welcome!

Hi welcome to our community, I know how you feel, I was like that 8 or 9 months ago, but now I am even worser, eh!

Welcome from one aged member to another. I too arrived late to the party, about a year ago, with relatively few addictions. I then went and purchased the silver membership and was immediately hooked. All that shiny gold and silver available at much better prices than the ‘reputable’ dealers. With a premium membership you get the best bargains (anything left after 3 days - probably isn’t such a bargain). Get yourself a premium membership and watch the savings roll in. Best investment I ever made!

Hello @Dalriada83, you have just joined a lovely group of folks, so welcome to you - life will never be boring again 🌞

Welcome to the forum, purchase a premium membership and get stuck in!🤔😮

Hello and welcome to The Silver Forum

Many thanks for the warm welcome good folk of the Aegis - apologies for the tardy reply but outrageous fortune slung my good lady wife a wobbly of the most unwelcome medical variety in extremely rude manner. As soon as things stabilise I intend to procure the much vaunted membership of this illustrious company and partake of the common weal of the Argent Riding. Meanwhile, wishing you all the very best of British.

Best Regards

I am sure that we all wish Mrs. D. the very best and that she makes a speedy recovery💛

Maybe part of her recuperation can be trawling this forum on your arm, as long as she stays clear of the Naughty Boy Step, that would set any decent woman’s health back😳 xx

[Dalriada83]

Hello Good Folk of the Aegis, I am happy to be back after Mrs. D has (mostly) recuperated - she managed to dodge Mr. Reaper one more time! It pays to keep a dubious address on file at the Doctors surgery - that way it takes the bugger that much longer to find you! As many of my ancestors will attest, pretending to be deaf and shouting "Who? Never 'eard of 'em!" at the cloaked harbinger only works for so long - I believe the record is held by Grannie MacGlaughlan at 4.2 seconds but only because Mr. Reaper was distracted by a sudden (and celestially unforseen) explosion at MacBlooter's distillery (purveyors of thinly disguised paraffin to the gentry since a week last Tuesday) next door, which sent twenty seven highly unskilled stokers searching for an introduction to the afterlife with unseemly haste. But enough frivolity - I trust all of you good people are in good spirits and cheer, basking in the Argent glow of that most lustrous of metals, beloved of all Gods of discernment. However, I must confess to a failing of character I indulged in almost immediately upon my return: starved of stacking to the point of distraction I gave in to an impulse purchase of . . . gold. There! I've said it! I didn't mean to succumb but I was faced with not one but two Gillick Sovereigns! Graced as they were with the youthful visage of her Britannic Majesty Elizabeth II, Queen by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom and all her dominions and dependencies, Empress of India etc. etc I just could not resist. Mind you, my bank account put up a spirited defence but I managed to beat it into submission in the end. My apologies fellow citizens of the fabled forum, I tend to ramble when I'm 'in my cups', so it's just as well i'm using a glass tonight. Take care and have a fun and silver streaked week!

Best Regards

Good morning and although I am delighted to see you back and buying the metal of the Gods, I am more delighted that Mrs. D is still on your arm!

I look forward to seeing you and watching your purchases 🌞

I've no idea what you're talking about.

Welcome to the crazytrain

Wha-Hey! I figured out the 'Thanks' button! This technology stuff is quite the thing when you get the hang of it. Whatever next? On-demand kinetoscope motion pictures? Amateur broadcast journalism? Who knows.? Well, I must be off and stoke up the boiler on my Austin Steam Carriage as we are off to The Globe on the Grand Union canal for our supper. Tally-Ho.

Hello and welcome!

[monkey]

I sense my welcome to the forum is a wee bit late, but better late then never! You may have even joined before me but I extend a hand of welcome friendship.

I hope the forum has provided a bountiful hunting ground for god's shiny treasures (at a favorable rate)!

I'm glad to hear Mrs D has made a good recovery and hope she is still keeping well. Congratulations on jumping to Silver membership too, sounds like you have not regretted it.

I shall let you on your way, I should imagine your steam carriage is now up to pressure after an hours firing.

God speed good man.
