Anyway, our hobby here in RCSD is stamp collecting. We cling to it and to
our charter, and for this reason our level of bickering is low.


Yes, some old timers here form an odd bunch. My first venture into this
group was greated with a volley of odd acronyms in subjects, as evidenced
here.


Thanks again for being fair!
There is only one explanation for such a behavior and it's the one where
in my previous posting I used "French";-)


In Russian I would say Kукушка хвалит петуха за то, что хвалит он кукушку
(free translation: The cuckoo praises the rooster because he praises the
cuckoo; after Krylov).

This "happy ending" deserves some good old music, with lyrics related to the
subject in discussion (for those unfamiliar with the text, it's addressed to
a child):

------
Ooh you're a holiday, such a holiday

It's something I thinks worthwhile
If the puppet makes you smile
If not then you're throwing stones
Throwing stones, throwing stones

Ooh it's a funny game
Don't believe that it's all the same

Back to stamps, in 2009 the Isle on Man celebrated Bee Gees' 50th
anniversary by issuing a set of 8 stamps:
