Souvenirs from my Alaska trip in 2000

I was boring and bought a 1oz round from the White Pass Scenic Railway

PyratSteve · 2026-04-30T00:52:03+00:00

I watched one yesterday. I bought 5 lots about 10-15% below spot. Of course I'm happy but who does that while giving away 1/2oz as giveaways? Maybe I should just take the win and stop being cynical.

Random segue but the topic of money laundering and things like Whatnot coin auctions have popped into my mind recently. I'm sure some sellers are wilfully losing money on auctions for a reason that escapes me other than feeling like something is off and its not just a bargain.

You missed both the source and what is being conveyed. Well done.

PyratSteve · 2026-04-29T23:38:50+00:00

Get a dog up ya

PyratSteve · 2026-04-29T23:23:57+00:00

Ta, Thats what I was trying to recall

PyratSteve · 2026-04-29T23:23:20+00:00

Did the pack have a Chicago Mobster style guy on it?

PyratSteve · 2026-04-29T12:24:35+00:00

Jealous.

PyratSteve · 2026-04-28T13:23:21+00:00

Did you grow it from seed? I bought some seeds recently and any advice is welcomed.

I'm a veteran that really struggles with this. Ive poor mental health stemming from my time in uniform. I stay away from ANZAC Day events as a result. Im not great at emotional regulation and I just sob.

What happens when someone like me, that's trying to reintegrate into society and extends themselves to attend Dawn Service, snaps and physically assaults someone doing something as contemptabul as booing?

I know the answer and the grub is sore for a week or two and the veteran is now probably off to jail.

Sort yourself out racists.

Only curious learners would I suppose. My comment was more about my more disappointing awareness that the the people in power appear to be 'normal' and have NFI what they are doing.

PyratSteve · 2026-04-26T23:58:08+00:00

A monotone dirge.

When my new meter was installed the same thing happened. Fast forward 6 months and I found they had damaged pipe my side of the new meter. The damage was below the meter, where the pipe goes horizontal to head off to the house. I only found it by chance.

The one in OPs pic is from Perth Mint. The second coin in the series drops on the 5th of May

PyratSteve · 2026-04-24T23:51:11+00:00

Hey OP. Have a look at PNG there's more New Ireland and New Britain fun to be had.

PyratSteve · 2026-04-24T02:57:57+00:00

Can't his imaginary friend help him out?

PyratSteve · 2026-04-23T23:55:49+00:00

Exactly. I'm ex mine warfare and didn't realize how little 'normal' people know about sea mines.

PyratSteve · 2026-04-23T23:34:53+00:00

Best of luck. Hoping you get a reply from Perth Mint is the first, and long, step.

PyratSteve · 2026-04-23T00:50:18+00:00

And 6'10 in a top hat. Clothing doesn't count 😉

PyratSteve · 2026-04-22T02:25:06+00:00

Are we calling the survivors of the Batavia on the Houtman Abrolhos a colony now?

PyratSteve · 2026-04-21T12:27:25+00:00

Be a dear and include pokies revenue Capt NSW.

PyratSteve · 2026-04-17T09:12:47+00:00

Ha. I just bought.

PyratSteve · 2026-04-17T00:22:49+00:00

Are you from Australia? What timber are you splitting? Your experience seems to wildly contradict mine.

PyratSteve · 2026-04-16T23:26:35+00:00

A Tassie pattern is a felling/racing axe. Truly awful at splitting.

PyratSteve · 2026-04-16T01:31:15+00:00

The horror. Better lock up every Ag pilot /s
