As for cycling, I am indeed a certified MAMIL and proud of it. But my bikes are not that expensive, they are all between 1000 and 1800 EUR. And I only have three here, plus one in Denmark. To put the expenses in perspective: I quit smoking 7 years ago this month. The amount of money I save each year by not buying the daily pack of fags more than pays for one new bike a year. So I tell my wife that I am still 3 bikes behind ;-) Cheers, Nathan Nathan Wajsman Alicante, Spain http://www.frozenlight.eu <http://www.frozenlight.eu/> http:// <http://www.greatpix.eu/>www.greatpix.eu PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws <http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws>Blog: http://nathansmusings.wordpress.com/ <http://nathansmusings.wordpress.com/> Cycling: http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/belgiangator <http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/belgiangator> YNWA > On 18 Jun 2016, at 02:26, Douglas Barry <imra at iol.ie> wrote: > > Know and read the paper Economist, but hadn't seen that one, Jayanand.
