(RCSD) Western Australia by
Blair (TC)
Here's one for Rodney, as it falls into his own back yard, so to
speak.
As of Sept 1893, the current fiscal (revenue) stamps of Western
Australia,
up to 1 shilling, were valid for postage as well.
I have seen the fairly common one penny lilac / purple (from the
1890s)
with both REVENUE and POSTAL...

(rcsd) Zim Hyperinflation still alive and well by
Blair (TC)
Zim Hyperinflation still alive and well. I think that they are
closing in on Hungary.
In 1980 the Zim Dollar was $1.50 US.
Today it takes the equivalent of $9 (+ 16 zeroes) to buy that 1980 Zim
Dollar.
Thank goodness for those NVI stamps (Z,A,E, and R).

(RCSD) "cocking a snook" by
Rod
In response to a request off list,
the finer points of "cocking a snook"
To "cock a snook" at someone is a bit more elaborate than simply
thumbing one's nose. To "cock a snook" is a classic display of
derision, properly performed by spreading the fingers of one hand,
touching the tip of your nose...

I recently purchased, from a used book agent, a copy of the out-of-
print three-volume set entitled "This is Philately", by a Mr. Kenneth

(RCSD) (RCSD) prefix - was: More stamp chat? by
Jan Doggen
On the subject of "garbage", what ever happened to the concept of
prefixing a new discussion with (RCSD)? It doesn't take all that
long to type 6 characters ( especially me who types with one finger )
and gives a way to filter messages. Maybe we institute the concept
again and make it a rule. ...
