Did you know that Moses rode a motorbike? 'Tis true. The Bible says so: the roar of Moses' Triumph could be heard throughout the hills.-How does Moses make tea?
-Hebrews it.
No. Honestly. This Israeli how he does it.
@Zep ... I must assume this lady is a relative of yours.
I bet she can whip up a wicked pineapple pizza, too.No doubt. I bet she can’t park it either.

Probably a drift, not a joke but the above reminded me of the following. A guy in South America became a millionaire purely by buying coconuts at £40 per ton and then selling them at £10 per ton, (or the equivalent in other currencies) how did he manage to do that ? And if it’s any help, it is entirely possible.Just having a drink and a chat with a bloke over a pint in my local last night.
I discovered he was worth around £4 million and he told me the amazing story of how he got so rich.
Basically when he left school he had little or no formal qualifications but he was good with his hands and he knew how to sell.
He knew he was never going to make it in an office job so it was nose to the grindstone time.
He left school at 15 and bought an old series Land Rover and spent a few weeks fixing it up, he then sold it for profit. He then used the money to buy another and so on. He did this a lot over the next 35 years, buying, repairing, selling, buying again.
He eventually moved onto Defenders in the 90's and then onto Range Rovers in the last eight or nine years.
Even during the real bad times he plugged away.He worked long hours as you do in the Land Rover trade, sometimes not seeing his wife and kids for days in pursuit of his goal.
Then his uncle died and left him £4 million.
A real heartwarming story.

Not close! He bought for £40 and sold the exact same item for £10 per ton.I'd take a guess that he bought them in the raw state with shells and all then sold the flesh alone?

He was already a multi millionaire and lost money on this deal until he was only a millionaireNot close! He bought for £40 and sold the exact same item for £10 per ton.
So he bought them in lets say Egypt, Lebanon or Sudan......these countries all use the Pound.Probably a drift, not a joke but the above reminded me of the following.
