Coincidence or what El?

Afternoon troops   

Hope all are okay number one. Nothing really to say - I need some leads. Glengarry Glenross.

I know you're all good guys and gals - read it every day     

Hi Velvet

I hope all is well with you and the family

Have a good day my friend

Hi Velvet
All's well here and I hope that for you as well
Never seen that film "Glengarry Glen Ross" as it's not something I would want to watch

A rain day here, wettest for quite some time, even had some rumbles of thunder.

It's got some soundtrack El. I picked it up in a charity shop in Falkirk. Never bought it - mistake.

Still, hope you're okay     

Thanks, Velvet, I'm okay

Night night, sleep well, sweet dreams Rosss, Yogi and night callers

night yogi moonsie EL summer velvet

Good morning everyone it's a cold morning again with maybe a little more sunshine than we had yesterday.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Forecast is dry and bright with a high of 11 degrees.

Good to see Summer and Velvet popping in, we missed you

I won’t be around tonight as it’s GBM at 8pm so have a good day, everyone

Good morning everyone

Not as cloudy here as yesterday and not as much rain forecast, a bit warmer as well.

I hope everyone has a good day

A rather large coin

Good morning everyone

A cool, overcast start to the day here. The forecast is, cloudy changing to light rain by lunchtime. A high of 10°

Another day in for me

Yogi, I hope you have a good day too

El, fancy trying to get that coin into a coin machine

Have a lovely day everyone

Moonie, or carrying that coin in your pocket

The price of that £10,000 coin isn't disclosed but would be considerably more than £10,000.
One can buy a smaller version of that coin which has a denomination of £100. The cost of that on the Royal Mint website is £1,396.27 - that's their estimate as it depends on the price of gold at the time the coin is ordered. That indicates that the cost of the £10,000 coin would be around £140,000.

I'll never forget my uncle giving me a Krugerrand for my 21st.

He did look after me. Ever bottomed out a Daimler 420 on a Boness back road. He had to get out to see what the damage was. I'll tell you how reliable that car was - it had six engines.

Aye, Uncle Ian was alright. I think my mum was faster though.

Love   

Velvet, krugerrands became quite topical years ago for tax reasons
Now they would be subject to capital gains tax being in non-sterling currency
(foreign currency for use abroad on personal expenditure is exempt).

Never knew that EL

That’s good to hear

Re diddling - reminds me of Hey Diddle Diddle.
J R R Tolkien did a version of that in his writing. There's a shorter version in The Hobbit, but a longer version is his "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil". This is him reciting the full version (audio only)

Interesting BBC article about how a Cornish hut was used for a long time as to determine how far above sea level were every point in this country.

That’s most interesting El. Thanks

We just had a hail shower

Moonie, Harrogate are at home to Cambridge this evening. That match could have a significant impact as to whether or not Cheltenham are eventually the champions. If Cambridge win, they go to the top this evening. Harrogate are outside either the promotion play offs or the relegation zone. Cheltenham's match tomorrow is away at Newport who are right in the promotion play offs zone so it's not going to be an easy match.

The final matches Saturday week are Cheltenham at home to Harrogate (again) and Cambridge at home to Grimsby who have already been relegated.

Bolton are the other side who could be champions but have a poorer goal difference (+7) than either Cheltenham (+20) or Cambridge (+22)

HMRC has created a manual all about cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoins.
They consider that tax does arise on any profits and that they don't consider it to be gambling.

Your occupation has definitely helped with those calculations El

More to do with being good at mental arithmetic when I was at junior school.  That helped in the early years of my accountancy career in the days before calculators and before computers became widely used.

There’s a game and half at Harrogate

Evening all

A mostly dry and bright day although there was one quick shower in the afternoon.

Moonie, I hope you were indoors when the hail appeared

El, that was an interesting link about the Cornish hut

I hope you’ve all had a good day
