Find! (#16)

16. 5000 Forint note from Hungary (member of EU)

photo taken today

No sooner do I research the verification someone props up the find!

Well done, casanovawa. That's three finds from you - no more finds allowed from you until the cap of finds per member is raised in Week #3 of the game.

As Hungary is a member of the European Union, if you can produce a picture of a Hungarian Forint note, that would satisfy the requirements.

Thanks. I misread the item anyway. I only have coins that are also 700 miles away.

Re: The List, The Score, The Fame

Looks like someone's crossing off items on my list in post #3 as we go, and I can't tell who they are because there's no edit trail information at the base of the post! The powers that are work in mysterious ways...

[-]And since when was the forum software updated so we could use strikethrough formatting? I've been waiting for this formatting for yonks![/-]

Works quite well doesn't it. I will try to keep up with the finds!

Just noticed this thread and am currently limited to browsing on my iPhone in Melbourne. Will have to see what I can photograph today as I fly back.

I've been requesting that for ages too. [-]Nice to see[/-] it was made public!

How can I get the picture to show? I don't have HTML link...

It's a bit difficult to see that it is a sign up form (it looks like it may be folded up, i.e. ready to be sent to Finnair).

I'll pay it though - looks kosher enough.

Good one, ozmille. Hope AY gave you a good flight.

Hope AY gave you a good flight.

They are my favourite for a quick hop to Europe

[*]Shots of (a) a boarding pass, and (b) the seat itself for a middle seat (i.e. a seat which is not directly next to an aisle or window).

I had a cunning plan to get this one noting that I didn't actually have to fly in the middle seat. (pictures included for those who wish to work it out) But in the end a move to the earlier flight meant the cunning plan was not required.

Done on the iPhone so better images are available if required.

Anat0l!

Couldn't you have started this in May??? I have an upcoming trip SYD-BUD (+TXL+GOT) holiday coming up.

Good luck everyone.

All fine with me. That's a find!

I suppose there are a few people who should remove their hats (figuratively and/or literally) and honour your "sacrifice" in sitting in a middle seat.

I did a bit of investigative work to verify that newspaper show was from USA Today.

But it passes - good work.

Luckily the sacrifice I ended up making was more then offset by getting home 2 hours early.

Of course, I did take a risk checkin into a middle seat on the original flight. But lucky again as 4F opened up. In fact I was checked in on QF785 in seats 4A,D,E and F at various times today. just couldn't get a full set of row 4

42. [-]The answer to life the universe and everything[/-] Bottle of Champagne with a vintage date earlier than 2000 (must be a real French Champagne - no sparkling wine fakes).

Found in my cellar. Unfortunately the Dom labelling proved too difficult to peel away intact.

Taken on the 18th Feb 2011.

Sorry I should've noted that finding on this item is pending - someone has reached me via PM but needs to get the picture to me for checking.

Bugger! Well I may be able to get others, but not so readily!

Find! (#42)

I received this item from docjames via PM/email (claim is valid and predates yours samh004, so sorry)



Bottle of Dom vintage 1985 (upon close inspection)

Yes it is uncorked - it had just been recently drunk as explained to me by docjames.

Well done.
