How about CGC start a branch in the UK and you can run it. Now that's an idea Yes, I have both passports, though my UK one is dreadfully out of date and my US one expired over a year ago.... I would be more than happy to start up a UK office, if given the chance, but I don't see that being in our business plan at any point in the near future.

Well, it's too bad that neither of you will be there, but if I ever make it across the pond I will let you know. (You'd think with dual citizenship I'd make the trip at some point....) Eventually we should all meet up for a drink

Hey sorry to derail the thread of nonsense, but are any of you UK types coming to SDCC? If so, please swing by the booth and say hi!

discuss....

Methinks you have had a few of these and then sat out too long in the sun on some pebbled beach.....

And it was the best ever, right???!!! (even without the US beef?) My family shared a large Porterhouse the other night, the only condiments on the table were HP and butter (for the green beans)

brandied pears...

That his mom makes better Shepherd's pie or the HP on bacon sandwiches (which sounds very good...)?

Nah. my mom makes the best! Since finding HP at my local grocery store last year I have completely stopped using A-1 at home (and so has my family...) (thumbs u

Nope, but it sounds good....I'll have to find some eventually. My mom used to make a beef stew with "doughboys" (flour dumplings) and other times ground beef croquettes. Plus, there is always Shepherd's Pie!

It is a mince pie, my mom makes them every Christmas! Not sure about cornish pastry, what is in it? We used to get these meat pies that were good, but I don't remember what they were called....

OK, but only if you throw in some Smarties... (thumbs u Now, how to get all of this through customs??? Would being a dual-citizen help?

OK, first the Fish n' Chips and now Bangers n' Mash? NOT FAIR!

Just a guess...Miracleman? (though I agree it's a tough one...)

Delay in resolving registered books to be resolved soon. Due to recent upgrades to the website there is a delay on resolving the books that were unable to be registered to their sets. We hope to have these issues resolved shortly and begin registering these books to the appropriate members. We appreciate your patience and continued support. Thank you.

Yes, any book with a value of over $4000 would have to be submitted using our WalkThru Service. The term "WalkThru" is used to describe the speed of the service; since the books are completed in one day, it is as if they were "walked through" our facility. You can mail us a walk-thru as well as bring it to us. The minimum charge per book for a walk-thru is $110 and the maximum is $1000, but it is otherwise calculated at 2.5% of the Fair Market value of the book (whichever is greater but does not exceed the maximum). What this means is if you send us a book valued at $10, you will still get charged the minimum price of $110.

AOL was not the internet. It was an umbrella organization with their own banks of servers that covered a huge number of topics from Computers to cooking to cars to whatever. Kind of like a small, self-contained internet. I believe it WAS in the very late 80's or early 90's that AOL introduced the internet to its users. It began not as www but as less graphical tools such as Gopher. Not very friendly. Soon thw WWW concept caught on and we are where we are today. Even in the early 80's the big message board systems would exchange their message board databases, updating them nightly, so someone from Boston would be able to communicate via messages with someone on a different BBS in another city/state. :cloud9:gopher bbs I miss those days....now you have to have MySpace, LiveJournal, Facebook, Tribe, Flickr and Photobucket (I'm sure I missed several) just to be in the "general" crowd....or so it seems at times.

television....This is a bit of a stretch, but on an older episode of "MTV's Cribs" I clearly remember that Jon Leguizamo had a bathroom in his house that he had wallpapered using comic books. He said this way you can just sit and read them without handling them...I thought it was mentioned on the boards before, but it is not in this thread.

You would want to select the lower tier and value your books accordingly. If we determine the book is much more valuable at the end of the grading process, we will call you to "bump" the book to its appropriate value. But, this way you won't be paying extra for a borderline book unless it is necessary.
