    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.
    Well done DA.

    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.

    Hi 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.
    What? An insolvency practitioner?

    You spotted an opportunity, this developed into a proper business idea, you thought about how you could implement it, and you did it. Well done! That makes you stand out from the people who just talk about things. Let us know how you get on.
