Jamie Banfill - 'Private Equity Adviser'.  This is a leveraged buyout if ever I saw one.

For the inexperienced - what does that mean?

like the Manchester United takeover.

I don't think its the case.

Now then. It looks like the good doctor's introduction to the world of social media has hit a slight hitch.
My brother just sent me a screencap.  Happy Birthday UNCLE Jimmy!

WHAT a twat the lad who posted that is. Looking at his Twitter, he looks like a genuine wrong un.

He's a friend of mine ....

Really? He's got some very dodgy interests if his Twitter is anything to go by.

You do realise that equity is the exact opposite of being leveraged?

It is VC's though isn't it?  Not to be trusted usually anyway.  Will they be out in two years if they get us up?

For the inexperienced - what does that mean?
Leverage means debt, Ie. that money has been borrowed to finance the transaction.
High leverage means that the debt raise  is a multiple of  Net Worth eg above 3x.

140 journalists at the media event in China according to the OS.  Is that normal? Seems a lot to me.  Maybe the Doc is serious about Big In China

Pint of Vicvilla please chief.

If 'VICVILLA HEALTHY FOOD AND NUTRITIONAL BIOTECHNOLOGY LIMITED' are our shirt sponsors for the 2017/18 season we'll need to keep Gabby as he'll have the only shirt wide enough to get all this on the front.

My brother was Kowloon Dog Catcher.  Not quite the same cachet as African Car Reverser but pretty cool.

It's about time they sorted the site. I haven't been able to access the home page from a Google search page for weeks.
