      Is that good for you? I seem to recall that some supermarkets banned the sale of Brazil nuts in their shells a few years ago owing to them containing some carcinogenic compound - though last Christmas they made a reappearance. Just not the same IMO when they're not in their shells.

      And just one more Brazil nut fact: ironically, in Brazil they are called Castanhas de Peru (Peru Nuts).

          From my own pov, I learnt that something I've been plugging away at for two years might (repeat: might) be about to find a commercial application and (double bananas) have someone who could be interested in utilising it

                    You've been watching the talking Toby Jug full of piss show
                    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
