Not hobbies in general, <br />but that of collecting. People collect many different things. I for one <br />have an extensive collection of world postage stamps collected from when <br />I was four years old until now. I have over 150,000 different postage <br />stamps, some of which are quite valuable<br /><a href="http://archive.mag2.com/0000197234/20091214092638000.html">続きを読む</a> 2009-12-14T09:26:38+09:00 http://archive.mag2.com/0000197234/20091207135155000.html ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━<br />■■■ 　<br />■　　■　　勝負は30秒！ブライアン先生のネイティブ英会話 入門<br />■■■■　　http://kyoiku21.net/special/mail.html<br />■　　　■　 　　　　　　　　<br />■■■■　Vol. 166<br /><br />━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━<br /><br />こんにちは！ブライアンです。<br />Last week, I talked about anagrams. This week, I want to talk about another<br />fun thing which can be done with the English language: palindromes. A <br />palindrome is a word (or group of words in a sentence) which read the <br />same when read either backwards or forwards. There are many three lettered <br />palindromes, like bob, pop and wow,<br /><a href="http://archive.mag2.com/0000197234/20091207135155000.html">続きを読む</a> 2009-12-07T13:51:55+09:00 http://archive.mag2.com/0000197234/20091130130618000.html ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━<br />■■■ 　<br />■　　■　　勝負は30秒！ブライアン先生のネイティブ英会話 入門<br />■■■■　　http://kyoiku21.net/special/mail.html<br />■　　　■　 　　　　　　　　<br />■■■■　Vol. 165<br /><br />━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━<br /><br />こんにちは！ブライアンです。<br />I am fascinated by anagrams. Anagrams are the rearrangement of letters <br />in one word or group of words to form others. The letters of many words <br />can be rearranged to form others including names. Mine, for example, <br />(Brian McDonough) can be rearranged to make ‘A brooding munch’, ‘In <br />Hamburg Condo’ and ‘Baron Much Doing’ to name<br /><a href="http://archive.mag2.com/0000197234/20091130130618000.html">続きを読む</a> 2009-11-30T13:06:18+09:00 http://archive.mag2.com/0000197234/20091121223000000.html ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━<br />■■■ 　<br />■　　■　　勝負は30秒！ブライアン先生のネイティブ英会話 入門<br />■■■■　　http://kyoiku21.net/special/mail.html<br />■　　　■　 　　　　　　　　<br />■■■■　Vol. 164<br /><br />━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━<br /><br />こんにちは！ブライアンです。<br />The Guinness Book of Records 2010 has recently been published.
