Yup, pretty much constant competitions, sometimes two or three happening at the same time.
And they have auctions, but those are expensive, particularly the postage.
I think I've won five competitions this year. :D
Here is the prize for the latest one, some nice pyrite ammonites.

There's other fossils included too, but I don't know what.
I love surprises. :<3:

Congratulations! These are beautiful!

You are right.
wifey is always most unhelpful when i ask her to partake in scientific experiments or to allow me to perform operations on her to make her feel better, even though I am a doctor.
If I insist or try to do them sneakily, she does beat me. :(
It's most unfair.

You may be a doctor, but not the kind that helps people ;)

Who needs something to laugh about ?:D
Here it is ! :rolleyes:
The short video clips are advertising for HB cigarettes and these little video clips had been on German TV for many years in the past.
I love them. They are a piece of my childhood. But I never smoked cigarettes or other stuff:)
Have fun with the little HB man.:)

I started watching, but this “short” ad is over 50 minutes long, so I never got to the punchline... :confused:
:D

My older brother and my mother smoked. I was the youngest in our family. One day when I was 10 or 12 years old my father and I made jokes that I should never smoke and my father suddenly says: I pay you 1000 DM when you don`t smoke until you are 18 years old.
The joke became a bet between us and what should I say: I really don`t smoke and I got the money from my father. It was much money!
I never began with smoking. I dislike the taste of cigarettes. Kissing a smoker is like kissing a cold ashtray.... Sorry but that`s what is is for me.:(

Your dad was very wise, Bee!

That's fine.
What a lot of money!
wifey wasn't a smoker when we married, but she is now! Her responsibility, I never encouraged it, but it was no surprise when she started (when i was in England for three months and she missed the smell of it! ) I'm sorry she started but at least smokers are okay kissing ash trays.
Mind you a fair few girls seem to have quite enjoyed kissing ash trays.:D
When ash trays are as smart as you I can understand that some young girls could not resist ....:p:D

No idea.
I've not seen that.
Are you on the app?
Perhaps that's my new forum name - ]
Can't say I like it that much. :confused:

It looks like it shows up that way when you reply maybe.. yes, I’m on the app.. here’s a screen shot of what I see.

Maybe we could just rename you altogether[emoji23][emoji23] I bet Wifey could give us some good suggestions [emoji6]

We used to have adverts on tv for Hamlet cigars that were funny. The cigar didn't feature until right at the end when the man in the ad would be given a cigar after whatever mishappening, light up and then the punch line "happiness is a cigar called Hamlet"
What a silly name for a cigar. I would not smoke a cigar that is named after a tragedy .....:D
