re: the joys of being a magpie collector !

Thank you Philb,
You have identified what I am to me-all these years I always thought of myself as an accumulator,a hoarder, an obsessed person, undisciplined in taste and thought for my stated hobby, an OCD(obsessive compulsive personality)when in reality I was a MAGPIE collector. Who knew!

It is so much better to be a Magpie than any of those other things-I feel renewed and energized-A Magpie collector--I love it!!

In appreciation,
Dan C.

re: the joys of being a magpie collector !

Advertising labels are cool! I have a mini collection of danish labels -- note the GM radiators. Those really appealed to this "magpie" because I am a GM retiree. Big Grin I also think the cover is nifty as it is addressed to the FIP.

Those labels are in English. Thanks for pointing that out David. I guess they knew their target market. Big Grin

Do you want an apertif ? straight up with a twist ? I think the days of 16 cent shots(100 lira) are history in Italy !Angry
