Now that would be a cool and unusual 13 on the shelf

Too small for Jan I would say. He needs something bigger....

I don't know Wojtek, at least it doesn't take a lot of room in his apartment meaning he has more room for more 13's

 

[Micdrow]

Do I spy a 13 in left hand corner of the picture.

 

[Wurger]

To be honest you might be right. But not sure about Jan's opinion.

Oh.. we crossed posts.

Again the 13 near the 10. It seems I have more in common with Jan than I have expected so far.
