    That is the best story you have ever posted MOG. IMHO of course.

        It was interesting. It reminds me of a book I read recently where this guuy made a bet with his friend that he could hitch hike around around Ireland, with a small white fridge. So bizarre but excellent reading.

          So did he win the bet Rich?

          People come up with some wild ideas don't they? I've still be following the guy that's walking across America! I love reading his journal entries at www.thefatmanwalking.com

            Yes he did make the bet. Just like the two guys you have mentioned, there was massive media interest amongst the Irish.

            He wrote another book aswell. This time he made a bet again with the same friend that he could track down the whole of the Moldovian national soccer team and beat them at tennis.

            He won that bet aswell!

            Fun but extremely bizarre.

                  That man (the walker) made it onto a news story in England a couple of weeks ago.

                    He's been on the news pretty much all over the world! I used to go to his bulletin board and read all the comments from people cheering him on! It was amazing, they were writing from everywhere...in fact, I need to check that part of the site out again. I got tired of reading it for a while cause the trolls got pretty annoying!

                      wow great trading but you know the governement will soon be asking him for the taxes for the profit he has made on each trade upward.
