Doncha think that Holland is just a tiny bit too close to Brussels huh? Ya daft moo.
It's OK, you Brits, Hyke isn't trying to take over the World , she's just being helpful.
Alright, alright, you be in charge of the roster, Hyke, and I'll do the first actual meet-up thread. You're more consistently here than I am, anyways.
Fair Enough?
Oh, and , FYI , we Brits can organise a piss-up in a Brewery for ourselves. *hic*
-Walkie :)
-
I'd like to suggest:
A) a list of Brits in the OP (updated as necessary) to save scrolling through the whole thread
B) that Brits post their location as specifically as they feel confortable with (at least specify whether England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland)
C) Post a little bit about yourself, at least stating whether interested in meet-up or not (No commitment. Feel free to change your mind)
D) Members of other nationalities who visit Britain, now and then and who might be interested in a meet up, add their name below . (to be listed seperately, to avoid confusion)
E) B, Cand D should be added to the OP.
-walkie :)
(I've been slowly thinking this through, as you see)

Ok, Walkie has been well and truly japed *blush*
Actually, after much prevarication, I decided to PM a few people. A meet-up thread should follow soon-ish
-Walkie :)
So, my efforts were not needed?
Ummm, didn't mean to cause offense. Check the timestamps. We were posting simultaneously *chuckle*
Ummm, on the other hand I was trying to forestall some other foreigner from trying to make it look like we Brits can't organise a piss-up in a brewery for ourselves :rofl:
Not that I'm ungrateful. i was fawningly grateful to Pappy already, see? But , weeelll, ya can see how it looks huh?
-Walkie :)
I was teasing you. Both in creating the thread, and in asking if I had made in in vain. Realised you posted while I was writing my post.
Do post pictures after the meetup. Pappy nor I will be able do that.

I just wanted to say with the meetup thing, I feel a bit odd meeting random people from a forum I don't participate on much. I would rather know more about the members, really. I appreciate all your efforts though.

Do you want to be on Walkie's mailinglist for a UK meeting? :orly:

I live in the Midlands, born in London.
Hmm, if we're doing percentages, i'm 50% Scottish, slightly Irish, slightly Dutch jewish , But i wasn't really after a pedigree, Trigger, just location *chuckle*; from which perspective this 12'5% English, 12.5% Scottish is slightly worrying. Where is the other 75% of you located ?
As I think I said elswhere, mobility issues would probably prevent me from getting to meet-ups. But if I organise one or two myself, i might be able work my round said issues.
Oh! PS. My grandparents on Dad's side were Cockneys but they don't really count, genetically, only culturally, cos Dad was adopted.
If anybody wants to get to know me, i should think I've made enough posts by now?

When CBC wants to express her love for me, she does tend to use that smiley. She's a perv at heart. And never asks for bovine consent.

I really did want of a smiley of somebody kicking a cow. There's a crucial differencer ya know? Though , hang on, i suppose you BDSM types might not see it that way :apondering:
-
I have some of that brit stuff in me. Even my wife does. Her side were herders, farmers and cheese makers in the Old Country. My side were carpenters, masons and farmers.
I have grand parents with the names "Scot" and "Moran" and "Eubanks" ... still waiting to see how all that comes out. We both have Williams, Wright, Smith and Jones in our ancient family histories, so my wife and I could be related. How "choice" would that be?
We both also have a huge amount of German, Dutch (on her side) and German, Italian and "Indian" [Native American to the uneducated] (on my side).
I may have some skills handed down, evidenced by my advanced gardening prowess on an in-town small lot, but the other side of my family were musicians and I followed that influence, mostly.

Honestly, I have been around a lot of bovine critters in my life time, mostly when younger. I even roped and branded a few (they HATE that - you have to force them to do it), Burdizzo'ed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burdizzo) a few pain in the ass bulls and boiled the horns to a stop on a few, but as far as a kicking cow thing, it usually goes the other way.
It is the cowboy or the handler who gets kicked and sometimes rather permanently (I mean once you have been kicked, you are cow kicked for the rest of your life and have the scar to prove it) by a cow or a bull or a steer or a young heifer.

As those of you who remember me know I'm a Yorkshireman - since everyone is talking about origins that makes me a Bradford mutt, English Irish and West Indian heritage but 100% northerner - I don't live in my home city any more but didn't get far, I'm still in Pennine Yorkshire. I don't do meetups as I get nosebleeds if I go closer to That London than Nottingham tha knows. :viking:

Ooh, Do you guys know each other IRL?
And might you guys be open to a Nottingham meet-up , if one could be arranged? I'm in the Midlands myself (don't yet know how many others) . Nottingham would seem to be more-or-less equally convenient (or equally inconvenient , depending on your outlook) from both areas. Besides, Lordof theAles mentioned Nottingham .

Oh! Btw, Grey Area, is that "You'll never leave" thing in your pic a threat or a promise? And is it anything to do with lack of a petrol station? Or is it something more sinister?

Has anyone here been to Ripon? It's one of my ancestral hometowns. :orly:
-
I'm up for it if you guys come down to nottingham ways. Manchester is nearer actually, to yorkshire that is.
Went up there not all that long ago actually, up around Settle ways to hike on the moors. Brought back a selection of rather tasty waxcap mushrooms (scarlet waxcap, scarlet hood, and Camaryllophyllus pratensis/meadow waxcap being some of the best)
Might even be able to get transport if there was a local meetup up yorkshire ways now my mother is taking an extended dirt nap and no longer needs constant care, I'd certainly be up for it.

Not opposed to a meet-up if I'm in the UK but I'm not a Brit. :P

Grandmother used to live up in Settle. Quite a nice town by many standards. Hell wouldn't mind living there myself, if I ever get the money to move. I don't like it here. Too much of a city shittip in many places. Although I am glad I live on the decent side of town. There are parts you really don't want to have to see. Got taken on a business trip up in ancoats a few times and christ, place is a shithole. Many of the inhabitants looking like...well like they wouldn't be far from home moaning the word 'braiiinsss' and like you would want to carry a handgun, and make sure to aim for the head or upper spinal column to make sure they do not rise again after being shot when they come running after you with a spoon. Used needles and N2O whippits lying around on the street EVERYWHERE, crackheads lighting up, even some random scabby looking tart coming up to me claiming she just got screwed over by her dealer and begging me for H. Told her to do one (not someone I know, just complete randomer. Like hell I'm a charity case. I'd have none for myself if every random shithead came with a damn begging bowl)
-
Making some behind-the-scenes progress with firming up some meeting plans. Will make a supplementary thread re. actual forthcoming meets (s) soon-ish. Focussing on South/Midlands ATM, purely becuse these were initially the most salient people.
But now we have some Northerners chipping in :)
We seem to have two Manchester members and two Yorkshire members thus far, so I'm not so sure you need any Midlanders chipping in. But I might be able to chip in anyway, with all my usual caveats re. health /mobility.
Btw, I actually have close family in Preston, and I've been meaning to visit thenm for aaaaages. If I ever get around to doing so, woukld love to try and meet you guys same time. But that's terribly iffy, don't hang on it (you might regret having my ugly mug in your meet-up pics anyways :D)
In any case, I'm totally willing to co-ordinate things , from my computer desk, for the time being. So feel free to PM me with ideas and propsals. Also , feel free to organise a Northern meet if ya like. You guys know the possible venues, I don't ; and I'm always happy to have work taken out of my hands . Just keep me informed, thanks.
Walkie :)

Well my mobility ain't fantastic. Well I'm on crutches right now and can't wear a shoe but its getting better pretty quick. Just don't expect me to run for it without collapsing in a heap afterwards and it'll be all well and good.
What think you grey area? they let you out on the weekends ?;):D
-

In my case, it's a progressive condition, so I can;'t anticipate it getting better (though it does get much better during the warm summer months)
I can't drive (I'd be dangerous, due to disco-ordination absences , and total inability to multi-task); can't use a powered wheelchair (same reason) so this puts me in the totally embarrassing position of depending on others. In effect, i rarely go out. That helps me maintain my comfy illusion of indepedance; besides I don't have that much help available.
I can walk, but not further than about 100 yards (variable depending on fatigue, weather etc) without messing up my brain to the point of having seizures. Somewhat awkward, hmm? especially given a social event where I'd rather keep hold of my brain.
Upshot (wrt meetings ) is that I likely won't be able to mnake a single one without enlisting the help of my RL Aspie friend, who nervously lurks here. He's up for a meet-up, but I can see people objecting to a lurker being present. Indeed, i think one already did object (if I understood her right) .
My thinking on that is that surely nobody would mind a carer being present, where appropriate ? BUt TBH, he isn't a carer, he's a friend and I hope he'd want to fully participate. (I wouldn't have the cheek to suggest it to him otherwise )That doesn't alter the fact that he'd effectively be doubling as a carer though. And I'd have to substitute somebody else (who might not even exist) if that's not OK.
Well, There ya go. That's my position.
Walkie :)

In my case its fucked up hips and a knee that likes to give me constant pain and occasionally, once in a while, randomly lock itself or collapse on me. Thankfully that got less frequent, still hurts like a bugger though. Can deal with it effectively enough but its no fun. Right now its busy burning like hell around the knee . Tendonitis blows ass.

If I were really Queen Victoria and wasn't dead, I'd offer Buckingham Palace.

Why yes. yes it is. :CanofWorms:
Settle's a nice little town, Skipton too. Way out of my price range but very nice. I used to love walking in the dales as well as the South Pennines and northern end of the Peak District when I got chance, still working on regaining my fitness though.
Ripon's another nice little place CBC, with some interesting buildings. The surrounding countryside is pleasant too.

I'd make the trip to london for that, even from up here, to meet our most distinguished regent and lovely heir.
I do hope it is not considered rude for a bloody commoner to fancy the christicles off of, or to use the term 'fox' regarding royal heirs ^_^
(this bloody commoner however is far less interested in what the bloody ponce in the pope hat thinks about the term 'christicles' however, or being excommunicunted)

The hell is a christicle?

In the above case it could perhaps best be considered an amalgam of most or all of the given definitions.
Primarily however, an exclamation of upon seeing the person spoken of, my newfound capacity to both tie my trachea into my shoelaces, the potential for replacement of toenail clippers with teeth, and the observation of a bipedal, mammalian mydriatic agent that would in the capacity both of inotropic action upon the myocardium, mydriasis of the pupillary body and, indeed in sufficient case of exposure, to drive one quite round the twist.
And, put succinctly 'god...just..godjesus H fucking DAMN :o :autism:
Oh hell yes I would! and what is more, I would stay.

I grew up in Yorkshire (Leeds, Armley), but I live in Worcestershire - about 15 miles south of the centre of Birmingham.
And I cannot believe I've just read a thread in which people are talking about voluntarily going to Nottingham. FFS. I've been there once and that was enough.

Never been there. Looks nice in photos.

Re: have you never been there?
Did you even need to ASK?
If I were to drop a humongous, week-in-the-making turd, get a little bitty ISIS flag, set on the end of a cocktail stick, drop it in a glass and make a marfuckingtini and snap it with my camera, would you drink it based on the fact the photograph did not offend your nostrils?
I, for one, would not. Want to travel without travelling? take a seven pound lumphammer, dig up a sewer and smash it open, then stick your head down there wearing a snorkel filled with penises. There. No need to visit nottingham.
Someone might call the cops on you for vandalism. Better, however, to be clocked than glocked.

Place is the urethra of the scabby, syphilitic hobo currently bumming the family dog of the local crack-whore's crack fucking baby. Only with less of the charm
And not one of those kinda hot dogs either, one of those butt-ugly pit-staff cross things, or one of those awful yappy paris hilton nippy little bastards who's mange-ridden head would likely explode from the pressure of a human dick.
-
Are you trying to say it smells bad there?
-
No I am saying its the gonorrhea-afflicted urethra of the scabby crack whore tramp's dick, stuck in the anus of its severely, severely un-hot-canid.
Only the fleas and ticks have two legs, and rather than being specialist haemovores they have degenerated to the point where they simply. suck.
-
So it's some sort of slum city?
-
Kinda, Not so much if the city though. Although if its stink you want. Go to flixton. Have been passing through there by car and the stench from the sewage works was a real gutbuster. Place has its good points though, like a girl living there I went to my first secondary school with, kanner;s autie and incredibly cute. She's got this high squeaky voice and she hasn't aged a day, visually. Although for some reason, I still LIKE her like her, as I did back then. Went back to catch up with her a few years back, ended up entertaining her (also autie) brother who I know not well, although he did go to the same school not to the same block as myself and laura, the girl. God shes such a cutie, the sort you just can't help but adore, cute as fucking buttons.

For my own part, I'm fond of Nottingham...nooo don't scrag me, wait for the rest first...I'm fond of Nottingham because my Favourite Person in the Entire Universe lived there for several years. So I can't say I particulaly noticed the city on my visits, it just acquired a magical sparkle by pure association.
Anyway, i thought you guys might like what said Favourite Person told me about the place. He'd done quite a bit of historical reseach , and he said the town was originally founded by some invading oik called Snot. Yes, Snot. That green stuff that comes out of your nose. The place was , accordingly called Snottingham originally. Then, at some point in time the "S" was quietly dropped. Dropped but not forgotten. Hehe.

Now you're talking about Luton, not Nottingham.

It's this guy's fault. He gave me the idea:
As those of you who remember me know I'm a Yorkshireman - since everyone is talking about origins that makes me a Bradford mutt, English Irish and West Indian heritage but 100% northerner - I don't live in my home city any more but didn't get far, I'm still in Pennine Yorkshire.

Lol, don't blame me, I've never been! It's just the furthest distance down the M1 that doesn't feel like Down South - a mate of mine was at uni there 20 years ago and he said it was an armpit back then. Even bearing in mind we're from Bradford. :lol1:
-
Never been to luton. Have no great desire to go.
And everyone in bradford is a mutt:P
If someone is going to tell a paki joke, bradford is the place they are likely going to set it.
And odeon, I attempted to fullfill you request but kept getting redirected to a site on which to buy dry ice. Looks like the forum software isn't up to handling anything but my polite, respectful veneer in reference to that..well I'd say city. Only that doesn't exactly do it justice.
As far as luton goes, salford for shootings, or moss side, if you want black on black, those buggers are always one upping each other, is probably the doorstep equivalent or ancoats, now there is a god damn dump and literally the doorstep equivalent not, as it may appear solely because its in the city far enough to travel to, physically, there is a different doorstep there. Only one, mind you, everybody takes turns to sit on it whilst they light their crack pipes. But they have to share the doorstep.
Seriously place is a pit. Syria lite, with the very stones crying out for an airstrike as soon as possible. Been there a fair bit to pick up kit, everyones either on kit down there or a crackhead. Or both. The guy I picked up through last a fair bit was a crack user too. Had a terrible cough, homeless guy down on his luck, pretty shit, lost his job, couldn't support himself and ended up on the streets, I kept pressing him to get it checked in hospital, he said he was going to. Real stand up decent guy actually, say what you like about crackheads if its fair, but this guy, he actually did make sure I got treated decently by dealers, made sure I kept hold of his phone, which he'd not have been able to replace, a good one, worth as much or more as the brown I was buying, etc, as a matter of honor.
Then some gear appeared on the scene, gear that wasn't. I wish I'd have saved a sample but I didn't at the time have access to GC-MS, could I suppose have sent some to one of the testing organizations, but whilst they can test the likes of tablets sold under the name extacy, psychedelic phenethylamines, tryptamines, common opioids, they aren't going to have reference standards, and damn if I felt right putting some in the postal service where others could handle it. Lab workers would know, with a warning posted along with it, in a vial placed inside a vial, to handle with extreme caution. But soon after sending warnings to the correct channels to get one officially posted in the likes of needle exchanges people use, city wide if things went as well as hoped, everybody disappeared. Literally, phones dead, and I think they are too.
This light tan, quite compressed stuff was H, partially, I could taste it well enough in the pipe, but everybody, without exception, had been saying fuck me this is the most potent stuff I've had in ten years, etc. On the scene for a couple of weeks, and then bang, nobody left. Couldn't find it now if i wanted to. Now normally I am taking painkillers for the joints, entire reason I wanted that shite temporarily. But I'm convinced that heavy med tolerance saved my life. Typical street stuff if I was going to shoot it, could shoot 5-6 bags, more if they were a bit..lean, but good stuff good bags as I was usually getting, bought 7 20 bags of this batch, and whilst I could tell it was kit, by taste, there was something else in there, something potent as hell, opoiodergic, and of great potency, Insufficient to trigger my (now dead, too, after I accidentally spilled something on it and melted the insides, rusted everything up pretty good) scale, with a 10mg threshold weight. Not the best scale, will buy a far better one, but that, and smoked at that, not injected, was sufficient to produce moderate, middling effects. Not possible if that had been the purest damn H a lab could provide, it would be without effect at the dose taken at the lowest levels I explored the stuff at, which did have effects, ergo, the bioassay proves it was indeed contaminated with a high potency opioid. What it was, I don't know, but it was bloody potent. Tolerance equal to 1-1.5g pharmaceutical morphine, maximal tolerace level that I myself would feel comfortable about administering to myself via the IV route without danger, physiologically speaking. Pretty sure that saved my life, I really am. As it was, very careful handling of...whatever it was, thise bags lasted almost a month. I've been reading more and more shocking stuff about what commercial gear gets cut with. Fentanyl is common enough, various research chemical fent analogs.. Have even recently heard tell of carfentanil being used, and that is one of the two drugs, along with etorphine, used as the payload of dart rifles used for tranqing large critters like rhino, elephant, giraffe etc. The kits are distributed as multi-item sets, to vets including antagonist drugs capable of reversing the effect, diprenorphine IIRC, since naloxone may well not prove sufficient.
But as for the place this potent as hell gear (doubt it was carfentanil, but would be an extraordinarily economical way for dealers so inclined, and so suicidal to do business, few grams and your set for thousands and thousands of bags haha) I think it dropped everybody else that I knew, locally at least. And the place is appallingly run down, ancoats, used fucking needles littering the street, could not walk through a street without being accosted by people trying to sell, and walking corpses trying to scav stuff off me. Who can jolly well sod off. I'm human but I am not a mother theresa smack charity. My 'doorstep' remark, its not all that far from true. And a mate of mine told me he got assaulted with a baseball bat down there, after someone saw he'd thrown up in an abandoned building outer lot. Ugliest place I've ever seen. And I do not exaggerate. Ugliest, vilest, most run the fuck down dumpster of an area of the city, that needs massive attention and renovation, but probably is not going to get it.

What ISN'T wrong with nottingham? place is a midden with features.
They call it shottingham, and not for bad reason.
Some people call my city "Wormtown." Also, our state college, UMass, is often called ZooMass. :P

Lol, don't blame me, I've never been! It's just the furthest distance down the M1 that doesn't feel like Down South - a mate of mine was at uni there 20 years ago and he said it was an armpit back then. Even bearing in mind we're from Bradford. :lol1:
I went to the University of Bradford. I lived up the Horton Road for a few years.

American and as much of the ""brit-shit"" as I may have in my heritage, I deny it outright as being only a distraction from what is important to me.
I fly a flag in my front yard; it is the Stars And Stripes of The United States Of America. I am proud to be an American!

And your bitch with present company is...?

We can have guns if we want them, but we have found that you can be an adult without needing one. But I suppose if I ever lost the use of my penis I'd probably want one to make me feel more manlike.
And also the fact that gun owners over here are seen as the dumb cunts that they are. That kinda puts people off.

I went to the University of Bradford. I lived up the Horton Road for a few years.
I went there too, as well as the college down the road. Most of the places I liked to go out down there are long gone now though, the Kashmir on Morley St is still going though and hasn't changed. I miss Queens Hall most.

The Mannville was the pub at the bottom of the hill where Peter Sutcliffe used to drink. Rios was the the other side of the university trying to be a nightclub. Was Tumblers the little cellar bar opposite the community college main entrance or was it the bigger private members club round the corner?
-
I think you're thinking of Pickwicks on one of those side streets down the side of the Grove library - Tumblers was round the back of the college on Tumbling Hill St - it had a pub type bit downstairs with a club night upstairs that opened once the bar had filled up a bit. Good music, loads of underage kids (like me and Mel) and neanderthal bouncers. Didn't know The Mannville had been Sutcliffe's pub of choice, it was a ropey Tetley's boozer with a piss artist landlord, cheap beer and a decent jukebox, and a mix of students and decrepit locals when I was there.... then it got flogged and turned into a fucking Scruffy Murphys 'Oirish' bar. Rios was a dive but had some good punk and metal bands on. The Cellar Bar under Queens Hall had a fair few smaller gigs on too and cheap beer being the college union bar.

Champagnes was the bar in the cellar of a Victorian house opposite the college. I found an old flyer for it in an old wallet. This must be from 1990:
(http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu137/spacecadetdave/champers.jpg)
-
Also, remember Tumblers. It was a building standing by itself because all the other houses around it had been demolished. It was like in the middle of a bombsite half way down the hill.
And an honourable mention goes out to McRory's. Used to fancy a barmaid in there like crazy, and they used to have a jam session once a week. A mate of a mate dropped two purple oms into my pint in there once on my birthday. And I didn't notice until my beer glass started talking to me. Those were strange days. Oh to be young again.
Also, just found my "Pickwicks" membership card from 1991.
-
McRorys, was that up on Easby Road? Never went to Champagnes but the music list sounds right up my street. I remember seeing NMA at Queens Hall back in 91 - fucking awesome. Yeah Tumblers was out in no mans land where the local scrotes hung around waiting for unsuspecting students to mug - I was a regular in the early 90s and first started seeing Mel there after rescuing her from a sweaty midget wearing three long sleeve t-shirts. By the time I was old enough to drink legally it wasn't the same. :lol1:
The neighbourhood actually went further downhill after you left as the locals chased the red light district out of Lumb Lane post 'Band of Gold' and down onto Sunbridge Road, Thornton Road and up Longside Lane behind the uni, enter the 'Crossbow Cannibal' (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bradford-west-yorkshire-11541168).
-
I remember The Bell up Lumb Lane. A couple of girls I know paid their way through Engineering degrees by stripping in there. Reasonably priced drinks, only half a dollar on the door and open Sundays? I think it got turned into an Islamic Education Centre - which is kind of poetic. I went back to work in Bradford about 5 years after Uni and it had gone - as had the red light district.
McRorys was the street before the Manville Arms Hotel - which could be Easby Road. My memory is a bit soft.

only half a dollar
Do brits usually use the word dollar?

Butterflies is in Budapest, Hungary.

Yup, that's what I thought.

Maybe she'll flit on by to visit.

Am surprised she hasn't posted recently; often magically appears upon the mention of her name.
-
So... Butterflies, Butterflies, Butterflies!
-
Something like that.

Where is she?

I've been wondering where grey area is.

I've been wondering where grey area is.
Apparently this is her pace.

Very much in Budapest, with no plans on going to Britain anytime soon. I'm too scared of flying, and I'm not going to get the train all the way to Britain.

Nice to see you. :)

You're late. Odeon invoked you two weeks ago.
Clearly, this magical transportation system is even slower than the train.
-
Maybe I've lost my touch. :-\

She is like me then, in that case. Seems to have cycles of traces of social inclination and disappears for ages to recharge.
I think I rather like her actually. And not to mention being adept with the hilarious.

I thought it's because her friends don't really post here anymore. :dunno:

Where's Walkie been? ???

I've been wondering that.

She had lots of practical problems in life, last time she was here.
Hope she's OK.

Now wondering who is talking about Walkie, and who is talking about Butterflies.

I was talking about Walkie.
Butterflies flutters by, now and then. Hope she is OK too. But was not wondering about the reasons for her absence.

No Pappy. To turn British you have to drink an Assam heavy blend of tea, like English Breakfast Tea.

So what's up with the new pound coin that's coming out? Is anyone excited? Does anyone care? Are the old pound coins commonly used? :orly: The new dollar coins in the US have been flops except for collecting because they aren't replacing a highly used coin and vending machines were never updated to accommodate them. :dunno:
-
Our $2 coin is smaller than our $1 coin. Isn't that weird?
-
I started putting all my £1 and £2 coins in a jar a couple of years ago, and now I have £94 worth of them.

Our 10cent coin is smaller than our 5cent coin. I guess I think it's stranger to have even a $2 coin. :orly: There's $2 bills here, but I haven't seen one since I was a kid. My dad use to save them and bring them home to me.

The US has changed up coins quite a bit over the last 15 years, but they aren't replacing anything so the old coins are still good to use. I read the reason for the new pound coin is because 1 in 30 pound coins is fake, and by the end of the year the old pound coins will no longer be accepted as legal tender. Do you know if you have any fakes? Will the fakes be honored in the exchange for the new coins? :orly:

Cool dad. :)
Our $1 and $2 coins have been around for years but they both used to be notes. The $1 used to be brownish and the $2 used to be greenish yellow. We have colourful money.

One of them does seem to be fake. The detail is almost completely worn off the front and back, as if it's made of a softer metal than an authentic coin. I could probably still get away with spending it in a shop, though.
I also have a 1995 Dove of Peace £2 coin which is authentic, as far as I can tell, and differs from the standard $2 coin in that it is thicker, heavier, and only made from one type of metal. They were released to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, and I'm not sure if they're still legal tender. It smells very strongly of copper, so I doubt it's the gold version.

Will you save some of the old ones as collector pieces? :orly: I like the look of the new coin, it's pretty.

I thought fake £1 coins were more common than that. Probably about one in every twenty pennies I receive has a cent in it, or with 5p coins - a dime. I realise these aren't fake, just foreign, it's just my random observation.
Fake £1 coins I remember my sister discovered when we were kids, at the time they sounded different when dropped.
These days the last I heard, the engravings on fakes aren't as decent as genuine coins, sometimes the Queen isn't quite detailed enough and she's isn't quite in line with the design on the other side.
I sometimes keep £2 coins that have designs I haven't seen before. I think they're cool.
The new fivers are pretty, I think all paper money is pretty really. You don't need to hold the new fivers up to the light to see the "watermark". Some parts of paper money are raised, such as the bit that says, "Bank of England" in stylised writing (it's flat on the other side) and the bit below it, "I PROMISE TO PAY THE BEARER...". I've noticed the new fivers have that feature still. They're hard to fold, they're plastic and bounce back up and don't stay put. They also spring out of your pocket if you're not careful.
Also, most people probably won't notice this, but under the clock tower, where it has a hologram saying Five/Pounds depending on where you flip it, underneath in small text it says "£5". There's a £ sign to the right of the clock tower. Yeh, I notice stuff like this which bores other people to death. Oh well. :green:
-

None of them are in mint condition, so there wouldn't be much point.

I thought fake £1 coins were more common than that. Probably about one in every twenty pennies I receive has a cent in it, or with 5p coins - a dime. I realise these aren't fake, just foreign, it's just my random observation.
Fake £1 coins I remember my sister discovered when we were kids, at the time they sounded different when dropped.
These days the last I heard, the engravings on fakes aren't as decent as genuine coins, sometimes the Queen isn't quite detailed enough and she's isn't quite in line with the design on the other side.
I sometimes keep £2 coins that have designs I haven't seen before. I think they're cool.
The new fivers are pretty, I think all paper money is pretty really. You don't need to hold the new fivers up to the light to see the "watermark". Some parts of paper money are raised, such as the bit that says, "Bank of England" in stylised writing (it's flat on the other side) and the bit below it, "I PROMISE TO PAY THE BEARER...". I've noticed the new fivers have that feature still. They're hard to fold, they're plastic and bounce back up and don't stay put. They also spring out of your pocket if you're not careful.
Also, most people probably won't notice this, but under the clock tower, where it has a hologram saying Five/Pounds depending on where you flip it, underneath in small text it says "£5". There's a £ sign to the right of the clock tower. Yeh, I notice stuff like this which bores other people to death. Oh well. :green:

How would a collector verify the authenticity of a fake coin?

That's an excellent question, and sort of squashes my idea, but it makes sense that when the old coins are no longer valid then the fake ones will cease to be produced. I would think that would make them historic, since they're the reason the new coins were produced. I think I want a fake one right now. :lol1: I've never even heard of fake coins being so problematic that a coin has to be discontinued, but then again maybe it's common and I'm just not aware. :dunno:

I got a fake £2 and three fake £1 on my desk at the moment. The £1 coins are made of lead and covered in gilt which you can easily scratch off. The £2 is proper metal but if you look close you can see its wrong.
I will of course destroy them or hand them in to the police (and not wait until the next time I go out to a busy pub and drop them on an overworked bartender).

I can understand why it would be considered illegal to have them now, but would it still be illegal to have them after the old coins are rendered invalid? :orly:

Don't hand them in to the pigs! you are FAR more likely to have the filthy bastards turn on you and use the fact of possession against you than anything else.
Take for example this-I once intercepted somebody walking down the street smashing up cars and people's gardens with a baseball bat, I was myself unarmed, but disarmed the bugger with the bat. And whilst the filth themselves admitted they KNEW that I'd disarmed the tosser in question to prevent further violence and vandalism, they got off without question, whilst I got charged and convicted for possession of offensive weapon. This is when *I* wasn't carrying, wasn't packing heat, but just disarmed some idiot going on a rampage.
DON'T TALK TO PIGS!
It is NEVER in your best interest, no matter WHAT they tell you. Do not believe anything they say because they will say anything, tell any and not unlikely, any, lies if it means they will get the easiest possible conviction to add to their numbers.
They get called 'filth' for a reason, and its a good reason at that.

A fake pound coin that can be exchanged for £1 worth of goods or services is still worth a pound regardless of what the Bank of England says.
-
^ Exactly. I'd just spend it. Or you've lost £5.

I think if I knew I had a counterfeit bill I'd be afraid to use it. :hide:
-
I wouldn't *want* to use it.

Benjiman posted a video that shows the London ferris wheel in the background. Has anyone here ridden it? :orly:

Years ago, I dated an idiot who I went with on there. I was an idiot for dating an idiot, but nevermind. It was a cloudy day and I didn't think we would see much, so I suggested going on there at night instead. It was worth it.

Last time I went to London was before that thing was even built.

There's lots of coloured lights now around there and further along. It's pretty. I probably visit once a month or so. I remember when I was little, I was in a pushchair, my family were walking along the southbank and there was thunder and lightning.
