Good philatelic literature is the cornerstone to any decent #stamp collection. Even relatively short publications, like this one from Frank Deakin on his #Barbados collection, contain a mine of useful information #philately #stampcollecting
48 teams will compete for the 2026 @FIFAWorldCup
How many of them have issued world cup stamps in the past?
Reply and send an image please.
I'll start: Brazil
- cover displays an image of the Brazilian football team 1962
- stamp issued in 2014
- they play in Group C
1934 Italy – the first @FIFAWorldCup commemorative #stamp set.
Mussolini treated the World Cup as a state prestige project. Stadiums were renovated, new ones were built, and every host city became a showcase city. The stadium in Turin was even named after the dictator himself.
Has anyone compiled a list of stamps commemorating the @FIFAWorldCup yet?
Is there a special collectors' album to place them in?
I'm not pro-Iran but is the #trump administration
going to wreck the the @FIFAWorldCup as a global sporting event?
Is this mistreatment of opposition players?
Thoughts?

Very poor from @RTE
- no 'live coverage' for @leinsterrugby v @THESTORMERS
- scant coverage via 'live text'
* zero texts in the last 10 minutes
* neglected to even mention the winning try
* this is simply not good enough
* get someone who cares @RTEsport
One of the best Irish #rugby players ever!
#FergusSlattery could play anywhere.
Here he is covering as scrumhalf in a ruck on the left wing; quick ball to the flyhalf and then has enough speed to finish off the move on the right wing!
#RIP #Slatts

Dear @bankofireland @AIBIreland and @PTSBIreland,
could I please have a debit card that replicates the charges of online scammers and transfers the same amount from THEIR account into mine?
- no refunds
- no appeals
- let's beat the scammers at their own game

Can't beat that epic flying experience over to the Aran Islands... It's like having your own private plane (for a few minutes)! 🛩️ 😎
