    But you're right! We prefer the simple "give it to me now" giveaways.


    1 body bag.

    imageimageimage

    edit: actually I think you'll get no bodybags, but I said one because some shroom already beat me to the number, and now it seems I wasn't quick enough for this number either.

    I say give the prize to Dimitri for simply taking the time to follow the original rules.

    That's very kind and generous Mike, but it would be unfair. Besides, I hadn't seen the new rules, nor Marty's PM about it, because I was simply preparing my reply, I have to admit that it was long,but fun!

    Now, if Marty wants to get rid of his dupe 1936 Swiss franc (he has a 65 and a 67 as can be seen in his sigline's link), I wouldn't say no. image
