Ann: Capital Raise , page-29

You're a tonic for us all Tretch - you have the sort of attitude to life that I'd like to have!

Ah what the hell... fake it until you make it I say... where's the Coopers Stout and that "Managers Blend" clean skin dry bubbly - I'll join you in the drinking and pour myself a Black and Velvet in the big Stein to start the evening off.

Actually as I've been ruminating this afternoon I've felt more and more that this action has been sufficiently out of character from our friends at CWE that maybe there is a silver lining in the wings (or is that just a prototype CIII BA - they kinda look the same to me) and this action was forced on them by circumstances that will soon enough lead to a positive outcome.

Probably hopelessly Pollyanna-ish of me but wotthehell little archy wotthehell!
