The Midas touch...

Hi guys,

I was working on some gold coins and gold memorabilia at the museum this morning and was inspired to take this picture!

LOL! No way....interestingly, those 2 gold things you see are a gold coin and a gold plaque given to one of NZ's pioneer aviators in the '30s, Miss Jean Batten. We do have some very interesting artefacts here with regards to that lady around the museum.

The man is a quality stand up FIRST CLASS person. If you've ever talked to him, you'd know. Seeing how there are no smileys in your post, I'll take it that you forgot to put them in.

trollex,

Our friend JJ is a good man and as Paul said stand up all the way. Of all the members here he is probably the least deserving of a cheap shot. I certainly hope that your post was just a bad joke and that you forgot to put some smiley things in.

My life must be sadder... I have no friends beyond the rolex forum either and I don't even have a Rolex yet.

Trollex,

Your username suggests something else, but I must let you know that my life is anything but sad. My signature merely states that I DO NOT need to look for new friends any further....I have them all on TRF. I'm not sure what undertone your post has implied, but I don't find it in very good humour.

Please be rest assured that I have a wonderful family and am leading the life of a King in NZ.

JJ

What the f*@^!!!!

I just joined TRF a little less than a month ago, and even in that small amount of time I can tell that JJ is a really good, down to earth guy. This is the type of crap I see on other forums and is the sole reason that I've decided to never go anywhere else but TRF!!! Forget that scrub, he's a (wait, wait...almost...ok, now!) TOSSER!!
