all the poor unfortunates that don't live in the tropics have no idea what you're talking about.

Best done in bathers, in a bath tub.
That is the particular madness you are talking about, Cliff?
It only takes one drink to get me loaded. Trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or fourteenth.

Do you mean, people wanting mangos so much, some go around the suburbs pinching mangos from private houses, tip toeing around all the flying fox crap......Some, even make up their own mango hooks to pull them down off the trees....Professional mango theives. Though, they know how to run when they see me bolting towards them with me cricket bat. Like, bloody hell some cheeky buggers gonna steal my mangos !!! no way no how.

Mango Madness is leaving the tropics and moving to Albury and then paying over $3 for a dodgy mango and over $10 a kg for lychees the size of peanuts! That's madness
There was a young boy called Wyatt
Who was awfully quiet
And then one day
He faded away
Because he overused White
Floorsanding in Canberra and Albury.....

Was in the fruit and vege shop lsat week and they had the same mangoes laid out in two different spots in the shop. Near the entrance $2.99 each, further down the shop near the back $1.99 each. The mangoes were labeled the same type!! Work that one out?!?
P.S. was the same the next day too!!Have a nice day - Cheers

I go to Dandenong market most weeks, last week I scored a box (29) avocados for $5.00.
The fruit and vege shops were selling them for $2.50.
Use about 10, give some away, still in front
At 17.25c each, $2.50 is not a bad mark up, now if I could sell my work for that......................Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

Iain, there could be a good reason why you don't. If I remember correctly in the last pics I saw of your work, the project was surrounded by horse crap.

It's an affliction that happens every year at about the same time as the mango season....
the only relationship it has to mangos is the time of year.
This article explains it.... http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=74672
It seems to be spreading like our Cane Toads.
