Our Mail service released yesterday a new one I do still have three books pretty full with stamps, but I don't think I've really taken any significant time for that hobby in at least 10 years These are cool, maybe there's space for them in my books hckošice 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

orangeman 1,314 Posted June 8, 2022 #958 Share Posted June 8, 2022 We're just getting out of "soft" lockdown here in Beijing (don't ask what "hard" lockdown is). After months of not being able to find Bing Dwen Dwen anywhere in this country, I stopped by a random gas station by my place the other day to find this. Not even the surviving Olympic shops have this sort of supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the true story of my cousin’s schoolboy son, who once made a small fortune when he found a supply of ultra-rare & valuable Minion Candy (no, I don’t either) in a small Polski Skłep here in Edinburgh.
