Well I'm knackered.

[John Stevenson]

Last week I posted about getting the DRO as I was down that way.
I was out collecting books and magazines. In fact I did two trips last week to collect some mags to save them being dumped.



So today set too to sort and pack in volumes these Model Engineers. These are the volumes from the 1950's



Bit blured as the lighting isn't great but these are the 1960's with a few 1970's sprinkled in, sat in the conservatory ready to be sorted.

The 70's, 80's and 90's are still in the Donald until I can some room to sort them.

Brain has gone into shutdown after sorting these first in decade, then volume, then issue order then duplicate copies, then catalogue them.

It's far more fun reading them but I'm banned.

Wow. I couldnt get all of those sorted WITHOUT reading them as I went. But that would make it 2010 before they were all sorted out.

Good luck~

John S: <Well I'm knackered.>

Sprecken die Americano Englis?

Nope.

He is "Sprecken die Anglo Englis".

A lot of words in common use (by "common" people?) in OZ are derived from or directly from "English as she is spoke" in the UK.

Just as well John didn't say he had been "de-knackered" or "back from the knackery"!!!

These links might help.
