Holy whale blubber.

My regular breakfast haunt Caffe L’affare sells to Japan for $25m.

Congrats to Bridget and the crew. Nic Tansley from More FM was walking around this morning doing interviews with an inflatable Orca. Excellent.

When the dot com boom was winding down in 2000 I was thinking I hope I’m around the next time this happens. When your daily cafe gets acquired you know its all on again. Wahoo!

    But did you realise that they also sold your breakfast contract to the Japanese, requiring you to continue to eat there for the next 15 years? I imagine that was worth about $5m on a NPV basis…

    Ouch! I resemble that remark.

    Freudian slip?
