    King Charles III

    I was wondering why I hadn't seen one of these yet. Perhaps I'll start to see them in my change now, as long as our friends the hoarders don't snap them all up first: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3ejnv74dwno

    Cricket Thread. Only Mad Dogs And Englishmen

    Not mentioned in that report, but I read today in his obituary in the Cricketer magazine that he was briefly a housemate of John Lennon's - lodged with his aunt Mimi for a while. "We didn't have much to do with him, but heard him playing his guitar now and then." Yes terribly sad about Graham Thorpe. As anyone who's read David Frith's magnificent 'Silence of the Heart' would know, cricket seems to lend itself to suicide more than any other sport. I wonder what Jonny Bairstow must be feeling now.

    Katie Price

    If the woman next to her is her lawyer, I can well understand that expression.

    Cricket Thread. Only Mad Dogs And Englishmen

    Anshuman Gaekwad, Indian opener best remembered as one of Sunil Gavaskar's regular partners, dead at 71. https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/anshuman-gaekwad-former-india-batter-and-coach-dies-at-71-1445591

    The Happy Birthday Thread

    And coincidentally Sir Garfield 'Gary' Sobers is 88 today!

    Donald J Trump

    So, somebody called Crooks tried to kill a crook. Life is full of little ironies like that. But it was a close call. He only missed his brain by three or four feet!

    Ask A Deathlister

    Also in cricket, although any player born in Northern Ireland is eligible for England! The last being Boyd Rankin in 2013, although he had previously appeared for Ireland in one-day cricket. While I'm here, can I just ask a regular, has the site ever gone six months without a hit before - as has happened today?

    Captain Tom Moore

    How prophetic this proved to be ... daughter and son-in-law now disqualified as charity trustees. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/captain-tom-daughter-her-husband-142101417.html

    Catherine Windsor AKA Kate Middleton

    When she and William married, John Major and David Cameron (and their wives) were both invited, but not Tony Blair or Gordon Brown. Read into that what you will.

    King Charles III

    One individual interviewed while waiting for his notes on Wednesday claimed to have over £80 worth of Charles III 50p's. Tosser.

    King Charles III

    There was a queue at the Bank of England this morning for people to exchange their old QEII notes for new ones. Apparently the first was a coin dealer who has a shop near Leicester Square. So, if you want to know where to pick these up for only ten times face value, you know where to go!

    Tom Lehrer

    I know some smartarse is going to say this has been posted here before - probably on the Covid-19 thread, about four years ago ... but what the hell, this is bloody brilliant. And as one of the YT commenters says, he never looks at his hands once. What could he possibly have been singing about I wonder?

    Coin/Banknote Collecting

    Pleased to see this here. I was a big collector from around 2008-14, when I had a little extra disposable income, and discovered ebay. Bought hundreds of coins in that time, enough to fill three albums. Mostly milled (post 1660) but a handful of Roman and mediaeval too. A nice cartwheel twopence that's too big to fit in the albums! And yes a load of Royal Mint issues, £5 coins, silver Britannias, one sovereign (2009 I think), some miscellaneous oddments from the now defunct Pobjoy Mint. After that, I dunno, I just lost the bug I think. My main hangover from that time is my monthly Coin News which I never got around to cancelling. Mostly it deals with high-end auction stuff way out of the reach of ordinary collectors. Some nice pictures though.

    Dead Pop Stars

    As one of the biggest Pop Stars of his day, it wasn't unreasonable to find him in the Pop Stars thread. I would never have considered him a country singer, though he may have recorded some music in that style. Anyways, I'll leave it for someone else to cross-post in the Singles Chart section.

    King Charles III

    I would definitely be interested in that, and yes I agree about the hoarders. People boasting on SM about how many alphabet 10ps they've got, etc. I've got a couple of the 2022 50ps, got one in change in the pub and one from a vending machine. Prior to that I bought a couple on ebay - £3 each - and gave one to my partner. Don't need any more than that.
