General Discussion Area / Warren Buffett's handy pay rise !
« on: 18 February 2017, 23:44:11 »
Warren Buffett, one of the worlds richest men with an estimated fortune of 75 Billion dollars, holds 616 million shares in Heinz group.
Heinz shares increased by over 10% after their bid for Unilever, thus increasing his 'savings' by just over 6 Billion dollars.
That's enough to buy 162.000.000 Omegas at £500 each.
I suppose if we had that sort of money we would all get those niggling little jobs that we have never got around to done on ours, wouldnt we?
But what else would you do ?

A security guard has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after an alleged shoplifter he tackled bled to death when bottles he was carrying smashed.
The 30-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest in the altercation in The Shires car park in Trowbridge on Thursday afternoon.
He was treated by paramedics but died at the scene, police said.
The 20-year-old security guard, from Trowbridge, was arrested shortly after.
Det Ch Insp Jeremy Carter said: "He tackled the suspected shoplifter causing a number of glass bottles he was concealing to smash.
"He suffered significant bleeding from which he died."

He said the victim, who was thought to be from the Cornwall area, was suspected of committing a number of shoplifting offences in the town and there had been "various episodes involving this individual and security staff from surrounding stores during the day".
"We need to understand whether or not the force being used was proportionate to the circumstances that unravelled during the course of the day," added Mr Carter.
"Formal identification is yet to be carried out and a post mortem is due to be carried out later today [Friday]."
An Asda spokesman told BBC News its security staff were not involved.

Omega General Help / Re: WARNING tyre question
« on: 03 February 2017, 14:58:35 »
Replaced my AS2s which had worn badly and quickly on the inside fronts (due to bad alignment?), had it set up properly and fitted goodyear Efficientgrip all round.
Highly rated for wet weather and low noise, both of which I have found to be the case, cant speak for wear rates yet as only done about 3k so far, but no signs of wear as yet.
I am surprised these havent been mentioned yet as a viable alternative.

Apparently they have things in common, such as the number 90.
The one refers to Arnies IQ and the other to Trumps willy, in millimetres.

« on: 11 January 2017, 21:20:39 »
My son has a 2yr old long wheel base high top transit on contract hire and has no further need of it.
£315 per month, 3 years left.
Just asking on his behalf. I'm here to be shot at!
Any alternative advice on what one can do with an unwanted lease vehicle would be gratefully received.
