I've spent the day thus far cleaning out my loft which for the most part has been exhausting is there was about 7 tonnes of pure junk there.

It was a little video game nostalgia trip for me too as I found an Amstrad, Commadore 64, Spectrum ZX, Megadrive II and Playstation 1, ooh and broken garden furnature.

The oddest find has to be someone elses stamp collection, a man called Stanley Gibbon's, who presumably lived here once, took it upon himself to hide his stamp collection in the space between the loft and the second floor ceiling - but I got it! To eBay we go...

I've also found manuals for Adobe Photoshop 6.0, Adobe InDesign an a bunch of other Adobe products - anyone want them?

Oh and does an employer legally have to pay you more for working a bank holiday or not? I've been asked to work Monday, see, but I dont know if its financially worth it. £4.50 an hour versus sitting on my ass at home is a no-contest really on a bank holiday.

Want me to take some pictures of it and the stamps to let me know if theyre worth anything?

The album itself doesnt look very old, maybe ten years - but the stamps are uber-old.

The british stamps are really ancient, and theres a "red penny" which I beleive to be old/valuable?

Yeah, they make albums to display them in, among other products.

Certain ones can be very valuable, up to £ m's in some cases. I'd certainly like to see some of this myself...

Stanley Gibbons is a massive stamp company, which holds auctions and owns a rather large shop in the Strand in London. Anything that looks old, or has a printing error of some sort, I'll have it; I don't really collect stamps nowadays, but if I got my hands on anything rare, I'd be very happy.

Yes, it is sad. But I never had much to do when I was younger... =D

"Adobe Photoshop 4.0 Windows/Macintosh" as featured on the spine of the book.

I assume it's related to photoshop 4, not 6.


And no its not a joke about the stamp collection

I dont know - they're the propper user manuals so being able to download them would probably condone piracy, blah blah blah.
