*snickers* Poor Owen! Personally, I'd love a rain of coins, even if they were ones I couldn't spend; I collect 'em. ^.^

badly_knitted August 14 2016, 19:44:46 UTC

Owen wants money he can spend, as if he didn't get good enough wages working for Torchwood! Also, he wants the coins to stop hitting him, lol!

I have a small collection of odd coins from here and there, including a few American ones, mostly cents and quarters. Not sure where they are though, there's a blue tin box somewhere... Have you got any British ones?

cyberiad_queen August 14 2016, 20:03:45 UTC

Lol! At least he can be grateful that the coins are Earth-sized! I used to have a large replica of a Lincoln penny that was wider across than my hand; a coin that big might kill him!

Yeah, I have some from all over; Grandpa gave me his collection when I was a kid, and a guy Mom used to date gave me his, when he found out I was interested. And then some people in the wish-list communities here have sent me euros, which was pretty cool. It's always amazing to see how pretty other countries' currencies are; ours here are so dull by comparison.

Ouch, yes! Owen should be grateful instead of complaining!

We do have some nice coins here. It's just been announced that a new series of 50p pieces are being released over here with characters from Beatrix Potter stories on them. I'll probably keep one of each if I can get my hands on them. There are going to be 5 altogether!

Have you got any pre-decimal British coins? I still have a few, including a bunch of... I can't remember now whether they're pennies or ha'pennys. The old ones are almost worn down smooth.I have some from the early 1900s.

Yes Owen, because being pelted by toads would be soooo much better, LOL.

badly_knitted August 14 2016, 22:28:36 UTC

He just thinks the'd be softer and less painful, but I bet being slapped with a wet toad would still hurt, and the toad wouldn't be too happy either!

Thank you!

spikesgirl58 August 15 2016, 12:12:14 UTC

Ick, I'd much rather coins than toads. Owen is mental.

badly_knitted August 15 2016, 21:41:24 UTC

The toads agree, they don't enjoy falling from on high! Owen just thinks toads would be less painful - maybe they would be true for him, but not for the toads.

Thank you.

Owen's never happy. Maybe if he got tads, he could kiss one and hope for a princess. If it worked, Jack would try too and Ianto could look on disapprovingly

I actually did a Torchwood frog-kissing piece for comment_fic the other week...

Did you ever read choccy_grl's 'You've Gotta Kiss A Lot Of Frogs...' fic? I love that one =)

Thank you!

they might be made of some valuable metal tho.

great drabble.

badly_knitted August 16 2016, 19:43:52 UTC

Owen hasn't thought of that. Yet!

Thank you!
