    I thought Tuck was the royal postcard producer. Are you saying he & company went from fish-wrappers to postcards?

      Hi Celesta

      "Tuck" is public school slang for "food" or "goodies."

      I don't think they had postcards in Jesus' day, though it's quite possible the Post Office will deliver a card tomorrow 2000 years late - and that with a first class stamp.

      Dear dad

      I'm fed up with slumming. I must have earned a knighthood by now.

      All the celebrities are sleeping out with the poor. It's no fun any more.

      I need a hot bath.

      Yours

        thanks tom but i dont think the vaticans hiding the fact that there are gay priest are not really conspiracies everyone know there gay hahahhahhaha and i dont believe in god so hows that? i think what we should refer as gods are those people who attain an ultimate place in everyone's mind and heart and we shoud not believe in the word of god in bible because its not true because the original bible has been burned long time ago

          Oh, I was thinking about the pongy fish wrapper. I really hope "pongy" is not a dirty word in your neck of the world.

                  Hi Cel. English friends have kindly taught me some dirty UK slang so i will teach it to you and hopefully save you from committing forum hari-kari.
                  Funny how the dirtiest words seem to be the most innocuous sounding.

                  Robert, how much you want for that JC postcard? I'm interested. Thinking of starting up a collection.



                  Cheers,

                      Hi Stephen, Thank you. I thought it might be.

                      Tuck & Sons were the postcard makers for their Majesties. So from 'pongy fish wrappers to postcards.' It was a dumb joke, I guess.

                      Thanks, Archy. I've picked up a number of those over the last few years.
