Congratulations on your good news. Needless to say I trust this news will mean you now see the good in people rather than make snap judgements about them based on their age, sex or skin colour.

I am little late joining this thread, but not too late to say congratulations to you, and in fact congratulations to everybody who has survived the last 5 years, it wasn't easy was it !
I remember you talking about your war chest in 2002 and 2003.
One thing though, which I have learn't from you, is when you advised anybody wanting to build a business should always keep in mind while growing the business to always grow it in such a way that it is most attractive to a potential buyer.
Have been applying the same to my plan b (have you checked the benes home page lately scotspine) and things are looking good.
Thanks and good luck for the future,
Milan.
What a memory you have milan. The war chest has become more of "quick light skirmish" chest of late, but I hope to be in a position to invade Poland by the end of the year and theron spread Eastwards to maybe engage the Russians in Moscow.

What? An insolvency practitioner?Originally posted by milanbenesHi Scots,
I just checked your home page, I think I saw the item you have mentioned in the past.
If that is the one, it looks very interesting, and an item that every business will need in some guise or other.
All the best,
Milan.

Dodgy, congrats on your holidays, but why do you finish them with a prison sentence?

Congrats Dodgy!!!Originally posted by threadedYeps, one of my theses is in the library of the Royal Academy of Engineering. They also sponsored me for a Masters degree in Engineering Design.
That means I must've been one of your first...
P.S I spotted the bulltulip post, who do I claim my £5 from?
