Four years of solid research, much of it with the tutelage of major industry players. Money was there, but, as with many business initiatives, just didn’t get the final notes in the right order. Like I say, every day’s a school day, and I took a good education from it. But hey, thanks for the feedback. Means a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunroamin Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Obviously we need more people, more houses and, therefore, more separations/divorces to fill them. Question, is the chief minister going to help in this regard personally? Just asking…. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that cafe probably could have been a distillery, maybe a harder sell, but if the government had a credible business interested why would they have a problem?. Do you not? Just I thought you were a genius leading some business, thereby well positioned to offer views on how good other peoples plans would have been, how the business meetings went and such, even though you weren't there. I'm perfectly aware of the difference in profit and turnover, and probably more versed in the runnings of a distillery than you. Still I would rather have seen Derek or others succeed. No harm to the Victory Cafe, which looks a very nice venue too. Honestly it just seems you have an issue with Derek and are attacking his previous business plans for no reason. So do I want your advice? No, I wouldn't hire an overweight personal trainer so why would I want someone who hasn't a clue about the inner workings of running a distillery to tell me anything? Or, quite fitting for tonight, perhaps it would be akin to Jake Paul telling Tyson Fury how to box.

You think many of our government officials would make good business leaders. also there a number of severely incompetent business leaders. At least Derek takes the time to answer the questions and continued side swipes of him, all under his own name and not a pseudonym like most of its (me included). If I’d have known about this at the time would have been happy to help if i could and it’s sad it didn’t transpire. I’m sure you’d have been a lot of help.

Must be packed in that house in Argentina with all these split personalities? 🤣 Yeah they really seems like they're trolling when they are having a go at a business venture they have no idea about because they have an agenda against the person. Sad life to live and even sadder that you are supportive of them/yourself to support yours. Bet the bigotry was ripping right out you yesterday. Never mind, Hearts will be due a win sometimes this century. Edited February 27, 2023 by jackwhite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never supported them though despite what you may think. Gala Fairydean are my team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
