Saddam Hussein's boats up for sale!!

Have a look here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/mid...st/7705154.stm

Unfortuantely its well below my standards;

"Brokers have suggested that in the current financial climate, it could be difficult to sell a vessel which is luxurious but not up to the standards of more modern yachts - it does not, for example, have a gym and boasts only one helipad."

Tisch - I'll have to look elsewhere.

Had one with a Submarine before, was a pain in the arse to get it back in the hole after you'd had a few down at the local

But the operating theatre is a great addition, doing 40 knots in huge swells? ..... hmmm think I'll have a bypass and then a third nipple to help the time pass. Great stuff

Heared that Sadam has never been on the ship.
However, probably costs to have build around 80 million dollar, so if you buy it for 35 it's actually a bargan......ahum....
Then sell it again for 37 or 38 million, and there you are, easilly made a few million....
All you need is 35 million first..........
