Decimalisation
some of the later predecimal coins were definitely reused . a ten new pence piece was the same as the florin and the old shilling coin was the same as five new pence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shilling_(British_coin) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florin_(British_coin) definitely remember using king george and young queen elizabeth 'hair down' portrait coins in the early 90s. til they shrank them..

URL change
?? www.wanderersways.uk http://wanderersways.uk https://www.wanderersways.uk https://wanderersways.uk all these work for me , not sure why people need to "prepare" other than to update or edit their bookmarks and log in again when the time comes. i went to the new url , a page loaded , and i clicked the bookmark star in chrome. piece of piss. sounded like the OP couldnt do that, so i laid out some 'hyperlinks' to make rebookmarking the website slightly easier. am i not correct ? nowhere in this thread is the actual new URL spelled and laid out , so thought the dude had some problem (cant type, dyslexic, whatever) sorting it. maybe i misunderstood.

Crypto Currency
bit late to the party, like 8 years late. he's one of them "couldve bought some years ago , when it was already worth $1000" but as noted on the internet recently, he's got ballwashers retconning his Paypal involvement into "they tried setting up a cryptocurrency first, but were too early" ignoring things like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flooz.com; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beenz.com ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigiCash ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-gold . "Chaum stated in an interview in 1999 that the DigiCash project, and its technology system, entered the market before e-commerce was fully integrated within the Internet" egold was quite popular back in the day. If you dont remember MTGOX collapsing , then your late to the Bitcoin thing. although it was already worth around 65$ at that point and was as popular as owt by then because the ledger was massive and syncing the files took ages. which is one of the reasons why online wallets became popular in the first place. how do we know that he didnt buy dogecoins , hype them, them sell them and buy bitcoins? folk cant even buy real silver without the stockmarket shutting down. or buy stock in a covid19 closed videogame store. its suss

ehh,.. joe montana were picked late in the draft (no80?) terry bradshaw had to get infront of the old guy on duck dynasty in college weird stuff happens a lot. think he was in college for ages too (none of that 'declare early for the draft' for TB ) bob griese's son (brian ?) was infront of him, iirc. he was known about getting his head right with a sports therapist, a la Team Allardyce, too. maybe it frightened the draft people at various teams. Although i think TBs college numbers were pretty good, once he got the gig full time.

its too much like karate kid 3 (both john avidsen , i think) where the kid falls out with his mentor , think it were released just after too , so when KK3 flopped, the same plot about a year later were gonna have a bad time.. relic / mimic is the all time 'same film , released close to one another , with kinda the same plot' films but theyre both good. maybe 'deep impact' and 'amegeddon' -but i didnt like armegeddon, and deep impact is too 'soft' imo and about 7 film based on underwater submarines in 1989 abyss, deepstar six, leviathan , etc "Deep Star Six (1989) was the first release of several underwater-monster-themed feature films released during 1989-90, including The Abyss (1989), Leviathan (1989), The Evil Below (1989), and Lords of the Deep (1989), and 'The Rift' (aka 'Endless Descent', 1990). With the exception of 'The Abyss', none of these films were box office hits." happens a lot, but "mimic" / "relic" takes some beating.

^^ one i remember from a few years back when it snowed like fuck and took ages to thaw out, so the country just halted , and all the moans about not enough gritting machines , salt ,etc. i remember it raining inbetween so was slippery as owt, too. we got ripped to fuck over ther internet by smug americans. " we get this every year and just carry on" anyway, it changed direction and landed in north america and they got about 8 foot of the shit were either this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_31_–_February_2,_2011_North_American_blizzard or this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_9–10,_2010_North_American_blizzard they were connected to these i think https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_2010–11_in_Great_Britain_and_Ireland or this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_2009_Great_Britain_and_Ireland_snowfall i forget which (ten years ago) dates fit because theyre similar , but probably the 2010-2011 one as i think that occured around christmas day i laughed about that for weeks.

nah dog, sentient ship from hell goes mad. is pretty cool . the resident evil guy gets stick (shopping with jude law , was his too, iirc) but "event horizon" cant knock it. better than the sharon stone dustin hoffman film "sphere" ( which i hated ) and "Virus" with jamie lee curtis (which i liked) or "ghost ship" with the New Zealander from riddick / star trek reboots and gabriel burn (thats also good) haunted boat films kinda were a big thing around the late 90s. i even liked Alien VS Predator, black lady kicking arse in unexpected location. A+ ive never seen "2010 the year we make contact" though , thinking back.

Trivia Question
joe baker / gerry baker and their dad and mum had diverse beginnings and careers. gerry baker were born in new york to a scotsman and an englishwoman. their other son joe was born in liverpool , but they moved to motherwell during the war, he played for chelseas youth team before signing for motherwell. played in england and scotland during his career and was capped by the USA. joe was the first player to play for england without playing there , capped while playing for hibs, probably due to him living the first six weeks of his life in liverpool. moved to torino then arsenal, nottm forrest and sunderland then back up in scotland . Tony Dorigo only played for England because he lived here long enough "England came along and asked me to play for them if I hung around for another year and got my British citizenship," says Dorigo. " Seem to remember scotland were after calling up Fabrice Muamba, because once foreign born people get a UK passport they can take their pick. or summat. bit strange.
