I'm pretty happy with the new owner. He's always made exceedingly good cakes.

I knew it!! The new Chinese owner is Mr. Kip Ling.
I believe he has connections to the well known society families the Huntley's and Palmers.

Is this true?

Weren't they Randy's biggest competitor during his takeover?

How odd, four days ago he insisted that Micky Arison had been "granted exclusivity".

Anybody would think he was just making it up as he went along.

Reading between the lines Dave, and correct me if I am wrong, but are you suggesting Mr IncogAVFC is completely full of shit?
