Off to Penarth around 9.30 - the boss wants to go to a clothes shop there

This evening I may sort through my late Dad’s football programmes - they date from the mid 1940s. There is the one for the Manchester United v Manchester City derby on 7 April 1948 (that was my Mum’s 16th birthday!)

I should say that there are at least 100 programmes!

Might be worth something Taff, lots of football memorabilia fairs about

Have fun

Exterminate - Exacerbate

 

[Taffvalerowdy]

I was offered £470 for that lot (excluding the Manchester Derby in 1948) - £700 if I threw in all my 1966 memorabilia:

(My father and I attended the 1966 World Cup Final - I was 8 years old at the time.)

I have our two World Cup Final tickets, and in addition I have the following:

A) embossed World Cup Willie badge
B) World Cup Willie postcard autographed by Nobby Stiles
C) England World Cup 1966 rosette
D) World Cup Souvenir Programme
E) Evening Standard World Cup Souvenir Supplement
F) letter from The Football Association World Cup Organisation Committee to my Mother - dated 25 July 1966 - confirming that we would have 2 World Cup Final tickets (plus the receipt for the 2 tickets)
G) World Championship England 1966 tie (unused)

£230 for that lot

Unsurprisingly, I turned it down.

An auction house said I could possibly get £1,000 for the above programmes alone.

Think I’m going to keep them - just sort out and put in chronological order

 

[nickyb]

Good idea

 

[Taffvalerowdy]

Exacerbate - Laxative*

* - just saying

 

[nickyb]

Theme was consecutive letters EXA

Laxative - Exaltation **

** when they work

 

[Taffvalerowdy]

Oh ****e ....

Exaltation - Example

 

[nickyb]

Example - Hexadecimal

 

[Taffvalerowdy]

Hexadecimal - Exasperated*

* - me in the boutique

 

[Taffvalerowdy]

Still here - the bill is mounting ....

 

[nickyb]

Commiserations, know the feeling

Exasperation - Exactitude

 

[nickyb]

Apologies Taff, this was a very restrictive and boring theme, any combination lE X A from here on in, if you wish

 

[Taffvalerowdy]

Hi Nick - just back with a much lighter pocket, but plenty of brownie points .... til my next mistake .....

As they say, behind every angry woman is a guy who has absolutely no idea what he’s done wrong......

Exactitude - Inexact
