Hello.

Awake after only 5 hours of sleep.

Yesterday I was host for some friends, like last New Years Eve. This time we were 8 for dinner and 9th. person arrivinger later in the Evening, also my nagbourgh and her daughter droped by. Everything much like the New Years Eve before.(Just that we were 6 for dinner last year, with 3 persons arriving later). This year however some of the guests helped with the washing up (that was before opening the whisky and cognac).

I noticed one of my friend standing the somehow dark room, where I keep my books, computer and vintage collection.  T hought he was admireing the collection, then I saw that most of the figures was lying in a pile on their respective shelves, just as if they had a big party on their own. I later found out who was responsible for this mess (another of the guests), but I was not mad at him. No harm seems to have been don to them

Now I will clean up the last cups and glasses, and then some more hours of sleep.

Happy New Years.

I have not included country of origin variations on my chart. that would be a real undertaking, since there are so many different coo variant out there, and the list contains between 350 and  400 variations even without counting coo variants.

(And no I don't have all these figures in my own collection, nor do I intend to hunt down the very minor ones).

Also remember not all tri-logo cards contain the lightblue tri-logo variation. A lot of tri-logo cards contains the standard figure.

Great score Dale.

Joseph Yglesias is one of the main bootlegs collectors in the world.

I'm sure Rebel Scumbags John Alvarez or Kim Zoll can tell you more about these beauties, but I don't think they post here at Defender.

Someone called?

Dale I have send you a mail, but here is a direct translation for all of you Defenders to read, cause it is indeed danish.

Få en bedre start på dagen meen directly translated Get a better start on the day. So it meens you start the day better with coffee from a statoil Station.

Statoil is the former Esso, here in Denmark all Esso gas stations was renamed Statoil in the late 80's or early 90's.

Hope this helps.

btw: there is absolutely no snow here in Denmark, the weather is quite hot with 10 degrees Celcious ( 50 degrees Farenheit).

Wedneysday a firework factory, with 2000 tons of fireworks stored, exploded in Kolding, Denmark, and the fire was still on today, but under control.

Kolding is only aprox. miles from Vejle where I live, and I used to study down there from 1993 - 2001.

They tried to prevent the fire from reaching the main werehouse, where 800 tons where stored, but they failed, as the ecploded 5.45 pm CET.

The result is that a large area looks like a warzone, with more than 350 houses(homes) desroyed, and 2000 people have been evacuated. It's rumored the explosion has heared 200 kilometers from Kolding.

This was an axident and not terror - thanks god.
