Converting to Judaism can be a painful process....
I find Spanish's approach rather refreshing and actually a proportion of the successful traders I've met aren't Eton educated. Far from it, barrow boys are just the right material.
Especially one's who put their c0ck on the block.
Sometimes sheer fearless greed and aggression and a certain lack of intellectual reasoning wins the day for these guys especially when it's not their own dosh on the line.
It would please and amuse me greatly if Spanish went on to be a hot shot in the City.
And even if he does blow his account this time time he wouldn't be the first....
