Regents bid for Urbium is about to go hostile,it shows that there is a lot of value in well run leisure venues,perhaps HAR will appear on Regents' radar ( well, anybodys radar would do nicely ),perhaps even the man from Luminar might
stop toying with this company and do something to make us gasp.

[spekky] 09/6/2005 08:50

interims due anytime now, hope they include some aquisitions, its about time HAR gave us something to smile about.
