My name is Gerard COSULICH but have been known as Gerry ever since I started my first job in the Civil Service in 1954. I am married, 79 years of age and live in CARDIFF in South Wales, U.K. I have had three children, all girls who have now left home and have their own families. I have 11 Grandchildren and 4 Great-grandchildren.

I started collecting Telephone Cards after my first holiday in Malaysia back in 1993 - my first return to the country where I did my National Service in the Royal Air Force between 1958 and 1960 at RAAF Butterworth on the North West coast of Malaysia opposite the Island of Penang - I have been back there several times since - it is a beautiful place. I kept the cards I used out there as a momento of my visit but it was in fact the start of my Telephone Card collecting which is still continuing with a comparatively small collection of between 16,000 and 17,000 cards at the moment. I do not collect the Pre-Paid type of cards. Although I don't collect them myself, for anyone interested I have small stocks of Gift cards, Hotel Cards and Bottle tops. I could also obtain coins, postcards and beer-mats of UK origin if required. My only other collection consists of about 100 German Beer Steins!!

In my spare time I support my local football team CARDIFF CITY. I also enjoy travelling abroad, when finances allow, reading, gardening, watching TV and having a pint of beer with my friends in the local Royal Air Force Club! My computer helps to occupy any time I have left!!
