Well done GYDAM ... most interesting material!

GYDAM · Post by **GYDAM** » 04 Apr 2022 22:27

Thank you all for the honour. I'm still in hospital following a heart attack last Thursday night. Hope to be going home tomorrow sometime for a few days before going to Hobart on Sunday for triple bypass surgery next Monday. All being well, I'll post some more "phunny photos" for you over the next few days before heading south.
Cheers, Gordon.

Thanks PetCin88. Your many recent contributions to the Maldives thread have stimulated interest and widened the subject matter of the thread, so, if it is chosen for April, that will really be a joint recognition

Uppercanadian · Post by **Uppercanadian** » 16 Apr 2022 10:21

I would nominate "Old Duffer" for his "The End of the British Empire! Illustrated with Stamps" thread. The layouts are good, the photographs pleasing, and the topic is beginning to get a much larger following.

Thanks, Glen. Been a while since I checked this thread so a nice surprise.

Also woke up to your incoming mail today. Nothing like a £2 Roo to make the sick man better!

Hi,

For May 2022, I would like to nominate again the excellent thread by Old Duffer:

The End of the British Empire! Illustrated with stamps

Catweazle · Post by **Catweazle** » 20 May 2022 14:47

I'll nominate a single post by member DJCMH from the thread discussing the FULL history of the unique 1856 1c British Guiana stamp.

When considering what should be done about the 1¢ British Guiana stamp, DJCMH had this to say:

DJCMH wrote: ↑14 May 2022 16:40 Make a deal with the Royal Collection to trade the Magenta Albatross for some of their duplicates that would sell well at auction and allow SG to recoup their losses, and give the Magenta Albatross a fitting place to be retired before it ends up disintegrating from improper care.

Frankly, I'd bet anything in the Royal Collection looks far more sightly than this British Guiana stamp. But a neat suggestion that should serve as an excuse for DJCMH to join the board of SG directors around the table, without whom they might very well partake in their Last Supper...

In other news, DJCMH also has a great avatar.
