Stampex

I'll be there on Thursday, folks. In meetings most of the afternoon.

I stick out because I'm youngish and female. I have brown hair and glasses. If you see me, feel free to stop me and say hello.

I'm seconding most of that, only I'm youngish and male. And I'm blond-ish.

He's also very tall and, if last time is anything to go by, will be wearing a terrible jumper, even by philatelist standards.

Julia, really!

But rest assured, I don't have that one anymore (and it was my favourite 'n all !)

Sorry!

Stampex axioms:

You will run into the entire philatelic world at Stampex EXCEPT the person you're trying desperately to track down. (Because the restaurant you were meeting at no longer exists.)

Luckily the Ed and I caught up with Adrian and went to a different one. Pleased to report shirt very nice.

It was a useful show from my point of view - some stuff that will make it into the mag, some that might not!

Spoke at length to Guernsey Post. Sarah, their PR, suggesting posting their press releases here, and as it's an information service rather than a selling service at that point, I don't have a problem with it. Let me know if you do.

If you went, please do tell us what you thought - and feel free to show off your purchases.

Other Stampex axiom: Carmen will post some bitter little riposte because she's in Kingston, Canada and not Kingston, England and so couldn't GO to Stampex... well she could have gone but it wasn't really financially responsible.

Sigh.

Aw, maybe next time!

Btw, Sarah from Guernsey Post said she liked the banter here, of which you are an integral part.

I blushed. A lot.

Ah indeed... well then, Sarah is obviously a person of most penetrating, perceptive and perspicacious intelligence (you have just gotta love dictionary.com's Thesaurus...) whose press releases ought to be posted forthwith (and by that I don't mean Sir Humphrey's "eventually... in the fullness of time... when the moment is ripe"-type of forthwith... I mean RIGHT AWAY!)
