I've never met Alan, or spoken to him Writer.

But I would tend to agree with your character assessment.

He certainly appears to be a colourful character who has stuck with a concept that he believed in, through all of the hard times, bad press, rumours and innuendo etc.

Two hundred km/h plus in a Bentley Turbo.

Wow !!!

Managed risk IMO.

The mark of a true businessman.

He could have bailed when the SP was in the high $2, before the demise of St Marys, but didn't.

I don't want to appear as if I'm talking through my arse, but I get the gut feeling that he's in the game for all the right reasons, humanitarian that is, with the potential monetary returns an added bonus.

The success of UNI would be very important to Alans ego.

And rightly so.

I'm happy to be along for the ride.

As previously stated I'd like to load up again, but can't.

That's life !

Thanks to all for the vigorous debate today.

Anyway, it's the weekend, have a VB.

I am !!!
