rggoodie Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/08/2006 07:50 am My apologies to Peter Allen and Susan but the reason so many Aussies are here is due to Ken (SS) so here is my half hearted attempt at humour on behalf of another good forum- a little rougher around the edges but where we slug it out I've been to forums that never close down, from Coin Community to ebay and others around, but no matter how far or how wide I roam, I still call Australian Coins Tokens and Banknotes forum home. I'm always searching, I love coins for free, and so I keep leaving my couch and the TV, but my heart lies waiting over the foam, I still call Australian Coins Tokens and Banknotes forum home. All the sons and daughters trading 'round the world, away from their family and friends, but as the coins get older and colder, it's good to know where your coin collection ends. Someday we'll all be together once more, when all of the coins come back to the shore, I'll realize something I've always known, I still call Australian Coins Tokens and Banknotes forum home. but no matter how far or wide I roam, I still call Australia I still call Australia, I still call Australia home. but no matter how far or wide I roam, I still call Australia I still call Australia, I still call Australia home. BUT IT IS NICE TO BE ADOPTED BY THE COIN COMMUNITY FORUM rggoodie aka Richard "catch em doing something right" Report this Post to the Staff

It is a very catchy song that is used by QANTAS (National Airline of Australia) in their advertisments... Report this Post to the Staff

Yass Pillar of the Community Australia 652 Posts	Posted 03/09/2006 6:56 pm I thought it was well done, and I sung along as I read it. But, I I've got to say, you've obviously got too much time on your hands. Report this Post to the Staff
toast Pillar of the Community Australia 1091 Posts	Posted 03/09/2006 7:13 pm Richard, Feeling a little home sick? The commonwealth games are about to start here so you have an additional excuse to fly back for a visit. It would also be a great time to pick up all those Aussie coins you wanted and not have to pay postage back. Think of the savings...would probably save you the cost of the air fare. The Summer heat is all but gone so the weather is beautiful as usual. Report this Post to the Staff
