Lord Stanley Kalms, former head of Dixons, has become chairman of privately-owned soft drinks group Acorn Brands. Lord Kalms, who created the electronics chain from a one-store family business, is now life president at DSG International, as Dixons became.

His venture into the soft drinks world comes as Acorn hunts for new brands to add to its portfolio, which includes OJA pure fruit juice, sold at Asda in the UK.

Lord Kalms is already a non-executive chairman of activist investment group Volvere and of NMT Group, former safety syringe business-turned-cash shell."

That is what we are all waiting to hear!!

August is when they will have to speak.
[that is as long as they can sit back
without disclosing what is going on]

I think if you read previous news it was
explained that they are using the max.
amount of time allowed with-in the rules.
Hence August. [not long to go].

Edit: The question is will we be getting "Shareholder Value". A word I think was said at the time and now is haunting those that said it!!

[spitfire3] 20/6/2006 18:08

but...........there is no investment, what has the cash been invested in apart from kalms and co wages.

[pc4900074200] 20/6/2006 17:50

Bill that was in the days that NMT was NMT. We are
now an investment company [Cash shell or what-ever?].

That was the news about what was to happen and you could
say that shareholders have been told something.

Not worth an email to be told what I have just posted.

Hobson's choice
Meaning

No choice at all - the only option being the one that is offered to you. The phrase has lead to hobsons being used as a rhyming slang term for voice.

Origin

There is a story that this comes from a real character called Hobson who rented out horses and gave his customers no choice as to their mount. This has all the credentials of a 'folk etymology' myth. In this case however, the explanation is correct.

Tobias Hobson was a real historical figure and he ran a thriving carrier and horse rental business in Cambridge, England, around the turn of the 17th century. After his death in 1631 he was remembered in verse by no less a figure than John Milton, saying "He had bin an immortall Carrier."

The Spectator, No. 509, from 1712, explains how Hobson did business, which shows clearly how the phrase came into being:

He lived in Cambridge, and observing that the Scholars rid hard, his manner was to keep a large Stable of Horses, ... when a Man came for a Horse, he was led into the Stable, where there was great Choice, but he obliged him to take the Horse which stood next to the Stable-Door; so that every Customer was alike well served according.

Who's Hobson?

[lyndus] 15/6/2006 10:51

Hobson's choice I'm afraid.
Sell and move on or hang on.
Either way you will have lost out.
Exactly the same cenario as Medisys.
We all had such faith in these syringes.
