Blackout stamp is a silly idea. Even Monty Python wouldn't have used it. I always wonder, because Europe & Japan had the crap bombed, blown up & destroyed out of them, wouldn't it go along that everything to replace what was destroyed in the war is more modern than what we have. Much of the power...

http://www.values.ch/Communism/ I will extend as much as possible this site, which I consider the most important of all those many that I have created during the last eight years. It will probably be the last big one, and in a certain sense "the swan song of my philatelic webmaster's soul". I...

Ok, so who turned on the Mega-Turbo Air Conditioner without warning the Electricity Board again??!! David ;-))

In honor of the 50 million people who were left in the dark, I propose that the U.S.P.S. issue a blackout stamp. The design would be simple---a pure black rectangle with a pure white border. The gum, of course, would be water-activated, as a reminder of how precious a commodity water is,...

In looking at David's "Auction(s) of the Week", I thought I'd check Yaboo for any Penny Reds or other UK material I'm hunting. Unfortunately (as do many US dealers) they confuse the Commonwealth with Great Britain and lump them all as 'one'. "Can I help you?" "I'm looking for Great Britain" "Oh,...

Hi all, I have put a few scans of stamps up on my page that i have no idea what they are. Would anyone care to take a look. http://craigscorner.mysite.freeserve.com/ Under Many stamps page Look forward to finding out what you think.
