Morning.



McWilliam's and Lehman sitting on a tree...

What does Peter Lehmann get out of joining McWilliams? At least with Young + Rashleigh they can push them around a bit. At McW they would be 2nd fiddle.

Brisbane to play Friday night

Unprecedented!

will be tough when bm is back in coffs by september

I'm not going to be back in Coffs by September. I just bought a sexy black Adidas jacket because I had a gap in my wardrobe when it came to non hoody non suit jackets. I'll be strutting the streets of Melbourne in my new Adidas jacket and asif I'd leave that for Coffs.

What do you mean back in coffs. It will be like Coogee.

St Kilda shits on Coogee.

 

[Twizzle]

obviously never been to St Kilda

McWilliam's are fare worse off financially that most would know. They announced 15 more redundancies last week (and not superfluous roles; they were roles I consider to be necessary to the ongoing viability of the business), have frozen headcount, sales are hemorrhaging and there was an 'occurrence' not long ago where if ALM hadn't paid their bill on the 14th and the funds cleared, we would not have been paid on the 15th.

One of the redundancies was the legal counsel for the business, who is also the licensee. She left on the Tuesday I believe, and they had only arranged for the CFO to become the licensee on the Monday.

I suspect Lehman, who is financially solvent, will broker a joint venture agreement, inject capital to the business and have access to resources etc which we possess that he does not. I would think Lehman would be in pole position, since our executives received authorization from the board to garner 'interest', shall we say...

St Kilda is cool during the F1s. f**k going there any other time of year

Why have I never heard of Halestorm before?

Why have I never heard of Halestorm before?

You live in Brisbane. I'm surprised you've heard of anything south of the Gold Coast ;-)
