Sorry to hear about the robbery, Francois, that sucks. Glad you got your phone back though
It's been one of those days, tempus fugit, etc etc. Gotta tell you guys this story- i went shopping for a bigger safe today. Had my eye on a large unit, nearly shoulder-height, and which would satisfy my requirements. Anyway, so i'm checking out the single unit, and asked the salesdude to open it up, since it needs a code to be punched in... Upshot was that the code had been changed, and nobody knew the new code. No problem, i hear you say, it's a LOCKSMITH'S, after all. Not!!! After 15min of fruitless mumblings and diverse odd-looking tools being used, the safe remained obstinately shut. Needless to say, i subsequently chose something else. Got a good deal on two medium-sized safes which, when stacked and bolted together, jointly are bigger (and cheaper) than the single free-standing unit i wanted. And they gave me 25% off because of the delay in service

Nice one, Kryptik!
You certainly were blessed by getting so much discount, even if it was as a form of compensation for the inconvenience caused to you.
So 2 safes...enough to house a few .357 Desert Eagles, Glock 40's, Ruger Police 6's, .44 automags, Colt .45's, 'snotneus', Mosberg riot shotgun, R4, R5, that Browning...

Hi Amby, good to see you, mate
Nope, the safes are used to house my coin and banknote collection, for insurance purposes. The only thing that goes bang is the Browning. The non-lethal half-bricks i keep on top of the safe
Just spent a very pleasant hour chatting to an English lad and his girlfriend. They were sitting at the table next to mine at the coffee shop, and we got to discussing ebay, etc. Apparently there's to be an issue of Irish pound notes soon, depicting George Best, very limited number being printed. I'd scoop a few up if i were you, Wanqa, they're bound to escalate in value. Speaking of which, when was the last time you guys saw the R5 depicting Madiba? They're growing scarcer by the day, folks, and people are paying ridiculous sums for those in good condition...

@ Kryptik,
Very coincidental that you guys were speaking about those £5 notes, as there was an article about them, with pics, in one of the free London newspapers called The Metro today.
It won't be long before they're on eBay...
@ medusa,
Hope you've made it to the airport OK.

So eventually i'm at home. Was a bad accident that caused the jam. About 5 cars, blocked all 4 lanes. Hope they ok. The world of beer was really nice, had a couple of Saritas and a really nice lunch, plus the tour.
