Thread: Mango Madness

Cliff
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?

Bathers????

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

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!!

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......................

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.

Which is preferable to some of the bull crap found on this forum
Anyway, they were not really WW ventures, just money savers for daughter and someone wanted to see piccys.

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.

So you are sitting in front of your PC stark bollock naked while taking prozac????

Just back from Bleak City, and found a couple of mangos growing in the compost bin. If I transplant them, how long will I have to wait before I get useable timber?

All depends on what you want to make out of it.
