Is it that hard to let someone think they are adding to the interest of other members instead of blowing the candle out at the first chance you get, not everyone reads every post in this chat room, so if its been done before, does it really matter that much that everyone has to be told that you just wasted you time posting something you thought others might be interested in, :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

There's a mile long thread on it somewhere. Very entertaining read with massive arguments ... whether he should have left it where it was and did he steal it and whether it should be restored or left how it is and so forth and so on.
It looks like he never got around to restoring it which was his original intention.

Like the mind of a gold fish going around and around in its fish bowl.

Oh look! Sunken castle....
Treasure chest!
~pause~
Oh wow! A sunken castle,
and is that a treasure chest?!

Hi Guys,

I am a bit of a lurker but I had to laugh when i read the last line of the article.

Funny thing is, I am an aussie,,, and I will be in the UK at the end of July!

Anyone want me to chuck it in my luggage?

Cheers

Rob
