Buried treasure

[Naberius]

I'm a stranger to your island. I caught wind of some buried treasure and, well, that was all this pirate had to hear.

I found two things:

First, I found out that you, m'boy, are clever. Almost frighteningly, dangerously clever. I'll have to keep me good eye out for you.

Don't show your card tricks to the people you play poker with.

And second, I found your treasure... ARRRrrrr.

Spike Milligan went to the Desert Island several times. On one programme his luxury item was a Barclaycard, because 'You Can Use A Barclaycard Anywhere'. On another occasion he took a car door, so that he could wind down the window when the weather was hot.

Avast, then, lads. Onward and upward.

(All I found was some silly jewels... where's the RUM?!)

[Benbow]

I could have sworn I'd answered this and offered congratulations. How on earth did you keep your sanity, trawling through that lot? As an officer and a gentlemen, I'll give you my last bottle. Don't feel guilty, I'll manage. It's okay...



I can't afford any more expensive gifts like this, so the buried treasure thread is well and truly closed.

[Naberius]

Sanity? What sanity?!

Thanks for the rum, mate. Here - let's share a shot. Maisha marefu.

[Benbow]

And a merry Christmas to you, too.

(Sorry - my Swahili has gone a bit rusty since being on the island)

Don't tell me... Santa's reindeer?

Nay, methinks the good Cap'n was simply ordering you a cold beer. Enjoy.

-Naberius, who is duly impressed that the Swahili was even recognized...
