    Default JC vs. Veeman - Sunday, Sept. 18 - The People's Golf Course





    Fiiiiiiiiiinally Sor-Rocks has come back to For-est-field.

    In the great one's sights is the Rudy-poo-candy ass known simply as Veeman.

    The People's Champion will be in attendance to satisfy the millions and millions of Sor-Rocks fans, including the president of Sor-Rock's fan club, Nuffie.

    If the Nuffster gets a little too excited while Sor-Rocks is busy checking Veeman into the SmackDown Hotel, he'll have to remind the little Nuffster to know his role and Shut His Mouth!

    After Sor-Rocks easily defeats this big Jabroni, he'll cruise into the semi finals to face that fruity guy.

    What's your name again sonny?

    "Hi Sor-Rocks, my name is Yos...""IT Doesn't Matter What Your Name Is!" sarin.."

    With the addition of The People's Putter with C-Groove Technology, Sor-Rocks is predicting an easy 5 & 3 victory.

    If you smeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllll, what Sor-Rocks...... is cooking.

    I'll continue to support Adlo. Even if it is just by showing my face at his shop to buy the beans.

    Just keeping up appearances.

    They really do mate.....when you consider the $$$'s being charged for some of the rubbish out there.

    Really hope this doesn't change what I've come to know as Fiori.

    Oakover were looking to purchase a more consistent cash flow business within a similar industry.

    If anything, they are looking to improve the quality of Fiori by buying in some premium micro lots of beans, something which the previous owner Kam preferred not to do at their current size (for reasons I agree with).

    Like I said, the business is remaining the same. Kam, the founder of Fiori, had more or less stepped back from the day to day operations for the past 2 years anyway.

    I have a feeling he will pop up somewhere else soon enough........I wonder what legal restrictions have been negotiated in the deal? Surely you can't trade mark a roasting/blending process?!?!

    Hope your 'buy price' isn't effected to much either mate with the takeover........though I'm sure your loyal patrons won't flinch at a small price rise if it does happen.

    Adlo,

    Does that mean that we should expect some new tastes in the otherwise average Oakover Wines...?

    Hints of roasted coffee beans, smokey wood notes etc

    Did you at least get an opporuntity to do the most electrifying move in sports entertainment history?

    Golf is, in part, a game; but only in part. It is also in part a religion, a fever, a vice, a mirage, a frenzy, a fear, an abscess, a joy, a thrill, a pest, a disease, an uplift, a brooding, a melancholy, a dream of yesterday and a hope for tomorrow. - New York Tribune, 1916.

    It entered my mind, but V man has about 35kg on me.

    Nuffie was too easy of a target. Someone will get it dropping on them at Champs.

    He can't roast/wholesale beans in Perth. As simple as that. You sell a business of that value and there are big restrictions.

    GN, please pay attention, Oakover aren't looking to change anything. They just wanted a profitable, stable business in their portfolio. Why would they raise prices? Your woginess is confounding me.

    Aldo, you're not reading between the lines.

    Let me assist.

    No Golfnut, you cannot raise you lawn cutting prices for the Fiori account holder.

    Wasn't thinking of here, that's obvious.....

    Don't kid yourself Adlo, anyone/group who has that sort of $$$'s to throw around (and it was quite a sum) to "add a stable business to their portfolio" is somewhat also going to be, if not already, profit driven. If I where you I'd be preparing for a price hike once the dust settles.
    You said it yourself that the beans are being sold cheaper than they should be.....if us mere mortals can see this, what do you think the bean counters are thinking right now? (pardon the pun)

    I think he is coming at it from a different angle.
