@tray @The Cat's Mother @Admin
And @to everyone


I use an iPhone because the valves in my Babbage machine seem to have blown.
Anyway so chuffed with the help/advice I’ve received through this forum. So just wanted to say TA!
Next I’m going to try and add photos in under 20mins

I don't have a phone. Dinosaur claws can't manage the tiny keys. As for swiping, forget it.

Hey, @Mike , if I can do it anybody can. My downfall is that I can only add those photos already on my laptop as I don't have a smartphone. Those photos were uploaded in the halcyon days of Windows 7, when things made more sense and I could actually watch a DVD on my laptop. Now I have been compelled to use Windows 10, and nothing seems to work anymore (Remember Catweazle, anyone? I know how he must have felt). @Admin keeps trying to persuade me that it can be done, but I am unconvinced. In short, it means I can't add pictures of the shiny stuff. The cats aren't a problem as their photos were uploaded years ago, but new coins - sorry.

Adding photos is very easy, even on a phone. That is why I use my ACEBULLION account more than Admin to add pictures. I take them directly from the phone and upload them by clicking on the HOST IMAGE tab.... it is very straight forward and simple.

@The Cat's Mother
I’ve just had an email from Aurinum saying the Oak leaf is being dispatched in 24 hours
Now I only have to wait for delivery
- in fairness you did say they’re a little slow.
Good news is I’d totally forgot about it so it’s like getting a free coin

WOW a big THANKS The cat’s Mother.
I’ve just ordered the oak leaf €58.74 whatever that is in old money. eBay are charging ridiculous amounts.
Really appreciate the heads up![]()

Hi @Mike , that's great news, and I hope you love the Oak Leaf. I did warn you about Aurinum's dispatch times but they do deliver eventually. I got notification last week that my order from the middle of August was being sent out - they were waiting for one coin, which is a big drawback with pre-orders. We're just spoiled having Martin and his super fast system. I am following the tracking with bated breath.

If I’m really honest I think I’ve left it a bit late. I’ve been away from here and didn’t know about it.
Also, I’m trying to be very minimal with silver stuff until after Christmas. The lovely wife (boss) has just let us have a new puppy and he’s costing a fortune.
That makes me sound like Scrooge doesn’t it?

Hi @Mike , you have until midnight on Monday if you change your mind. I can't altogether approve of the puppy, but I suppose you'd be third in the hierarchy if you got a cat. Is the new boy a particular breed, or a Heinz hound? We will expect pictures in due course, Oscar needs some competition in the cuteness stakes, and Martin just doesn't cut it.

I’ll have a look at how to do Santa tomorrow.
As much as I love my LITTLE collection I can always share something. Let’s see if I’m clever enough to do it on time.
Regarding puppy- don’t know if picture will upload because I’m (profanity) at tech! But I’ll try. If it doesn’t come through he’s a Great Dane.

See, you're not as bad as you thought, but goodness, he will be costing you a fortune! I would say 'an arm and a leg', but he might treat that as dietary advice. Still, if petrol goes up you can always hitch him up to a cart. He is a very classy looking beast, same grey colour as our second cat.

Thanks for the doggy complement- time was when I got compliments, and then I just got old

Did you mean 'doggy' or 'dodgy'?
To be serious, for a moment anyway, it isn't an issue of fairness - the idea is to organise something that's a bit of fun, and at least with the Santa you're guaranteed a prize.
There is no pressure on you or anyone to participate.

I know what you meant and I worded my reply in my usual thicko way. Please believe me I know what your lovely intentions are. Everyone on this site that I’ve had contact with have been wonderful and I’ve gained a lot more than I’ve given. So thanks to EVERYONE. I just meant I’d like to try and be involved, but I’m usually the last out of the gate

Nothing to be sorry for @Mike , and you're not thicko. I can be a bit forceful at times, and I am conscious that not everybody appreciates it. I am just really glad that you are happy you joined the forum and that you have gained from it. You are certainly one of our lovely active members, and it is so good to see that.
Anyway, that's me done for today. We old folk need our rest.
