Yes.....the demo plant you mention will undoubtedly be such an achievement for a company that a year ago was on the skids raising tea money for the managements office at point eight of a cent. Under one lousy cent. Australia doesn't even have a copper one cent piece anymore that's how bad we were going. The lynch party was after all of the management crying nepotism and in-house shonkiness with our solicitor boarder when AUZ finally raised some dollars. Then later on the big boss pulled out three and a half million out of his ringmasters hat to give to an old rock and roll band with the premise that if Sandman enters we can have the holy land from Metallica. Bigger than Back in black, Bigger than Queen Latifa's a was that deal orchestrated by our own company transforming dealmaker of the year, Ben.
Folks, I wish he was reading this crap I write as I would love to see that smile on his face. Just think about the transformation of our company by a man who held the wide brim hat open as he walked down Times Square asking for a dime and found these executives in Armani suits dining on beluga caviar only too happy to see 20million dollars being added to it. Overflowing with greenbacks live the coke at the Viper room back in 'da days.
Talk about the naked cowboy strumming his guitar, there was our Ben in the biggest city in the world having a fiddle. Maybe with peter siddle stuck in the middle of that Stealers wheel trying to organize his biggest deal just so that we could enjoy our meal without feeling that our company was going to the kennel to be put down.
He was wined and dined, kissed and pissed and yet almost single handedly managed to extract the almighty greenback with what sort of promises to those bespokedly clad and perfectly couiffured financial types?
The promise that mother earth had given his children - remember he said that he tries to reply to all emails as he sees us as family, but more on that later - vast amounts of land that cover such riches as Scandium Cobalt and Nickel. They loved his story, they loved the mantra, they loved the sense of outback adventure. For these yanks know how valuable things are way before anyone else does so they have now seized the opportunity to be involved with possibly Australias first producing Cobalt plant. Yippee yi oh as bruce willis said in Tarantino's famous movie. Back to that family part, are we sure Ben did not stop in Utah along the way to catch up with the kissin cousins? Utah is that sort of place ya' know folks.
Let me leave you with an applicable piece of music , a classic song that will bring delight to your ears for the remaining weekend.
Big Yellow Taxi
Joni Mitchell
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot.
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot.
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'Till it's gone.
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot.
They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum.
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half to see 'em.
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Till it's gone.
They paved paradise
And they put up a parking lot
Hey beefarmer beefarmer
Put away that D.D.T. now.
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees please.
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone.
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot.
get the youtube song out now folks and have a good one. It's been a pleasure.
I have been telling my friends ever since one point five that we are going places. Our Ben is determined to make us the biggest and the best and who seriously can doubt this enthusiasm, endeavour and drive. This journey will undoubtedly see us running over a skunk every now and then - I have done it, my oh my they stink for days - but when the journey is completed , then there will be ease.
No eggs man or was that noexam, you are correct.
