OK Donal....any more questions that you want answers to?


Yeah! Why have you answered my questions?



I may, or may not, know that. It isn't something that is germaine to a
sailing newsgroup, is it?


Hmm you asked if I travel 1st Class.
I don't and you now know why.


Yup! Cost has nothing to do with it - you don't mix well with the type of

Don't be upset Donal.


Don't be silly, Oz.



I'd be embarassed too in your situation.

Doug well, you could probably carry his sail bags.

You survive here by picking a handy coat tail to ride then get upset

Hmmmm. That really makes no sense at all. The only way to survive here, is
to *not* get upset.



I don't think you're a nutter Donal, but boy, you're doing a real good

Thanks, Oz. You're doing a good job too! In fact, I think that I am even

Don't bother to carry sail bags, throw them in the dock cart.

I can only remember one occasion where I read something that actually upset

Perhaps it is about time that I opened up a bit!

I shouldn't be too difficult to understand.

I like a good "discussion". Trans:- I am happy to argue that black is
white!

I don't like bullies.

I enjoy playing devil's advocate.

Nearly all of my posts should have a liberal sprinkling of "smilies".

My sense of humour is probably a little bit "off beat". I cannot keep a
straight face when I am in company. This medium allows me to keep an
absolutely straight face. That explains my sign off "regards". It is
totally dispassionate - on purpose!

In real life I seem to be much more persuasive than I intend. Occasionally,
the same thing seems to happen here.

There are many people here whose opinions I value. Despite the "banter",
I've learned loads!

I'm pleased about the first half of your reply, and admit to occassional
feelings of guilt about the second half. However, we are all different.

.... Hmmmmm.... you *might* have a point. [three minutes of reflection].
Unfortunately, I cannot entertain the idea that it is an illusion. Not
because you are wrong, but because it would threaten my sanity! The real
illusion, is that I like to feign emotional involvement and bad temper.

Poor Donal, run out of rope and not enough to hang himself.

You should talk to your bank manager, OD is very useful in the early
stages of building a business.


That is very bad advice.


Oh really?

How many businesses that start with an overdraft, still have it 10 years
later? People who get used to having an overdraft, and up depending on

it.
That is no way to get rich.


Now that really depends on your income eh?


That is a very simplistic view. It really depends on your expenditure,
doesn't it? After all, if you had no expenditure, why would you need an
overdraft?

You're not a real businessman, are you?

Your success probably owes more to luck, than to judgement.

Hey, I'm talking to a simpleton aren't I?


That's a feature of Usenet. I am whatever you believe me to be.


Oh and if you have no expenditure, you're doomed to remaining small


The average overdraft tends to be the equivalent of about one month's
turnover. Let's say that is about 5 months profit. Instead of having the
OD, a small business could just wait the 5 months before spending the money.
After that, all growth is just 5 months later than it would have been, and
the costs are lower.

A business with an overdraft is also very susceptable(sp?) to recession and
rising interest rates - whereas a company with money in the bank can see its
costs drop (or interest income increase) during a recession.


Your success probably owes more to luck, than to judgement.


Quite possibly. But you know what they say about luck.


Yep, and I completely agree with them.

Hmmm wait 5 months to buy stock?
What are you going to sell/condume in the mean time.
No stock, no sales, no business.


I don't think that I suggested anything of the sort.

Are you suggesting that you should borrow money to start the business? This
is only a viable option for a tiny percentage of people. Most people will
come to depend on the OD. They never manage to get rid of it.




You are an employee right?
Wouldn't it be easy if we could run a business without stock, without
customers and without employees.


Yes, but that is real "pie in the sky". What's your point?

Wow Donal...that's amazing.
You know successful business spend a lot of time budgeting and
forecasting.


True, ... and some spend a lot of time selling, and looking after customers.
Once again, what's your point?

BTW, we won a government contract last week that means a 30% expansion for
us. It is a three year contract, with an option to extend for two years.
Life is good, eh?
