The Happy Miner
I am a happy miner,
I love to sing and dance;
I wonder what my love would say
If she could see my pants.
With canvas patches on the knee,
And one upon the stern;
I'll wear them while I'm digging here,
And home when I return.
Chorus:
So I get in a jovial way
I spend my money free;
And I have got a-plenty,
So come drink lager beer with me!
They wish to know if I can cook,
And what I have to eat;
And tell me, should I take a cold,
Be sure to soak my feet.
But when they talk of cooking,
I'm mighty hard to beat;
I've made ten thousand loaves of bread
The Devil couldn't eat.

An Ode to Modern Technology.

Up jumped a jolly old swagman from under the old Gumtree,

He has been in the outback for some time this old fellow,

When he was last in town he could pay for everything with his gold.

Looking a bit worse for wear with his ripped pants and big old Billy Goat Beard, {)

He always had a swim in the local watering hole before heading to town as he stunk like no one's business :8

As he did not want the women to run away from him. :inlove:

Dirty old bugger they would say to him. :fistpump:

With his donkey packed with his stuff and his bag of gold, off he went to town,

Dreaming of a hardy feed , whisky and the company of a good women. Would make him push on towards town,

But this old fellow had been out in the outback for a long time and a lot had changed,

On arriving into the town of Kalgoorlie he was surprised to see that the local watering hole was still there..

In he went all revved up for a grand drinking session and a belly full of bully beef ,

Up to the bar he struggled pulling his donkey along side of him when a voice said "Old fellow, you can't bring in your donkey in here."

The old fellow replying saying, "Well I could not see where to tie him up outside and he need's a drink and a bed."

Placing his bag of gold onto the bar saying I will pay well for him to stay.

The barman looking in to the bag and seeing all that gold allowed the old fellow to put his donkey over in the corner of the room.

The old fellow said I will have a bottle of whisky and a glass please.

Barman said no can do as we only sell Nip's... :/

Old fellow thinking this is going to be a tough old day drinking Nip's of whisky, :eek:

How is a man going to get drunk and have a wild time with a women, ;)

After a couple of drink's, he was wondering where the loo was and found this thing called a public toilet.
In he went and found a troth and a toilet with a chain. Brush included.

Wondering what the chain did he pulled it and it flushed the loo to which the old fellow, he was very surprised. !

He decided to take off his gear and have a wash with this new fang dangle modern loo . :cool:

He felt pretty chuffed with him self being able to work the shower out. :Y: :Y:

Back out at the bar everyone was wondering how the old fellow got so wet in the bathroom.

The old fellow asked the barman where would he find a good women for the night,

Barman replying, you see that computer over there? You can use that to find a good women for the night...

Old fellow looking at the barman strangely,

He walked on over to the computer and said, "Hi mate, I am looking for a good women for the night. ?
But got no reply from the computer. sad

Barman yelled out ,"Hey mate, you have to turn it on first"

The old fellow started rubbing the side of the computer saying come on baby all I want is a good women
for the night... I will buy you a drink . come on baby I have needs and urgess to fill before I head back
out in to the outback. {)

No having much luck with the computer The old fellow asked the barman where would he be able to get
some new pants as his arse was just about to hang out of them. :(

Barman replied mate ask the computer it will tell you,

The old fellow shaking his head,

"Will that computer tell me where to eat" asked the old fellow?

The barman said "Nar mate but it will subject to you what to eat though",

The old fellow still shaking his head at the barman.

He said will that computer tell me how much my gold is worth? Yes said the barman..

The old fellow could not believe what he was being told about a white box sitting over near the Donkey that they call a computer,

still shaking his head , man o man what has the world come to in such a short time being away from it all,

I need to buy some gear to take back with me so where can I buy a Gold Rat 888 Sluice from?

Mate that is a easy one, just go onto the Prospecting Australia web site and you might be in for a chance to win one,

Bloody Computer

Goody
 
Wheres all our longwinded buddies that usually write a 2 page essay to prove a whimsical point, i thought we would be on page 4 or 5 by now.

Anyway get voting or writing if you want to prevent this wonderful sluice from going to a self centered pain in the butt, that is going to keep it for himself.
 
If you havent tried the dream matt you are still wasting your time, even if you dont catch more gold (which you will) your sluice clean up will be done in one pan, its a no brainer ,,,,, why take cons home when in one pan you will know if you need a new crack or keep scratching the same crack..
Get in and win this awesome prize

Come on mate I could do with a chop out I've got some tough competition with the likes of you as the current leader by a farmers country mile. Not only you, but both you and I share a common threat in the names of Goody2shoes and Flowerpot closing in on you with stealth and Moneybox saddled up beside me trying to knock me off at the turn. I'll leave it in your capable hands my good friend :beer:

Sincerely Yours
RM Outback

Me I like gold because my Dad told me stories of him and his mates as you can imagine a young bloke listening to their hero it was a given for me to want for a similar experience. I've achieved it not in the same way but similar by virtue of big stories around big fires with what some might quantify as big drinking not me though :lol: oh ok just once.

So from that you can gather I like gold and beer :) if I could drink gold I reckon it'd taste just like beer :beer: nearly perfectly matched in colour depending on how many nuggets ya drink :lol:

As for the forum all I can say is thanks :beer: it's my one and only connection to the world of virtual mates. You're alot like liquid gold sometimes you make me laugh and other times you give me a headache :playful: wouldn't have it any other way.

Gold Rat thanks mate :beer: your generous support and offer of opportunity is "A1 :Y: if I win I'll hand it over to Tathradj (Doug) to make good to a worthy recipient and match your support by buying one off the shelf direct. If I don't win I'll still buy one and pass it on to you Doug to put a shiny smile on the face of a member who is worthy :beer: Better grab a beer and check out the prices :lol: :beer:
thats gold right there :goldnugget:

COME ON GUYS , this prize is worth more than 17 posts, pull ya finger out and open your heartfelt ideas.
We all get a boner about a fraction of a gram in the hand so tell us why and how it makes your life great..
If you havent tried one of these sluice matts i can tell you there is no better or easier they catch less crap and more gold , what more could you want....

Aussie Aussie Aussie, we don't all 'get a boner' hahahaha... (anatomically impossible :p )

I do sure get happy about those tiny, tiny pieces too though. When I found my first nugget, I was in awe of how beautiful it was and that Mr FPot and moi were the very first ever humans to touch that piece and it felt powerful and special. I would love to have one of those mats in Mr FPots sluice, then he wouldn't have to work so hard to find me some more gold.. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm gold. :goldnugget:
and it's a pretty good community of PAvians in here too, collectively everyone makes it what it is.
Thanks for the comp and the generous donation Gold Rat. :heart:
Thats my favorite :Y:

( My story )

When I was a small child I would go fishing by myself all the time,

Go walking around in the bush looking at all there was to see,

On the TV I would watch all the old timer's in the mountain looking for gold and through I want to do that,

I would go out under the house and plant coins, then wait a couple of day's then dig them all back ,
The feeling of finding them all I would get a frill for hunting them down,

I have always spent a lot of time by myself,

Fishing is a lot like prospecting,

You can sit by the side of a bank of a river and work out where the trout is laying,

The same with gold you can work it out ,

Look see that bend in the river that is where the gold has been pushed up in to. And maybe be a big fat trout laying in the same spot,

I would never of gone and done my epic trip if it was not for prospecting,

Before I had left on my epic trip the black dog had me bad, I never spoke up about it to anyone,

Along the way of doing my epic trip I discover that I am much stronger person than I give myself credit for,

The experience and the frill of going down a Opal mine was wow life could not get better, but it did..

I then made my way all the way to visit the one and only Madtuna Mr Steve. What a gentleman he is and will always be dear to my heart,

I got to find my first peaces of gold with Steve, knowing we was the first people's to touch and hold this gold was priceless, the smile's on both our faces was all so priceless,

By being on this site has bought me closer to people and I now know that I don't stand alone,

Found that if you don't understand some thing just asks, as there is a world of knowledge on this site,

This is a hobby that I can do by myself or with friends,

Thank you all

Goody :)

Thats a chicken dinner for sure :)
