Miss Copperpot finds

[Ramjet]

Here is a clue from your movie !

Forty pieces of eight
Lay on a dinner plate
Over a bucket of Florins
Round about the back gate
In rushes Rocket the pirate
No one has seen of them since.

I like it

Sorry Miss CC. The boys seem to have high jacked your topic with an ongoing joke re Rocketaroo not having found a florin yet.

ohhh thats ok. It's giving me a laugh

How long have you been searching for a florin rocketroo?

 

[Ramjet]

Rocket has been detecting about 3 or 4 months. I think he skipped TAFE today to go for a swing. He's got it REAL bad
He and I have been detecting together around the Newy area lately.

Few months, but many many hunts, and none have popped for me. Yet I have been so close, so many times, that Ramjet AKA Florin Finger, has scooped up many, and right before my eyes. I am cursed, and only the one true florin can break it The gods did mock me, with a silly kiwi florin, but a florin without any silver, is just 20 cents.

Keep hunting, you'll find one one day, who knows you might find a stash of them

This has made me want to find one now. Hhhmmmm.......

 

[rocketaroo]

Lol you will prob find one before me

 

[Sandta]

Wouldnt that be just pure gold :lol:

 

[Miss_ Chester_Copperpot]

Oh drats i can't help myself Rocket ......... But i have to agree with sandta, it would be pure gold if i did.!

But id probably feel so bad and offer to bury it again and draw you up a Goonie map and send you on a treasure hunt to find it.

 

[silver]

Oh drats i can't help myself Rocket ......... But i have to agree with sandta, it would be pure gold if i did.!

That would be a Sovereign or a half Sovereign(ha).

 

[Sandta]

I was right .... You fit in really well :lol:

 

[rocketaroo]

Funny stuff

 

[Miss_ Chester_Copperpot]

I was right .... You fit in really well :lol:

Thanks sandta.

 

[Miss_ Chester_Copperpot]

Oh you must its a classic.

Apparently a sequel is I the works. I believe it is based around the children of the original Goonies.

sorry Ramjet i saw this message just now,

I heard about the plans for Goonies 2 I wish they would hurry up and start it. That would be awesome especially if they could get all the original characters.!!

I liked the bald guy with the funny eyes the most.

Hi there miss copperpot,
Your name reminds me of an episode of
"Acroppollus Now" when Effie said this tongue twister.

She makes a proper cup of coffee,
In a copper coffee pot,

Say that three times really fast
Cheers Steve
