RE: UKNM: First Tuesday Forum: 24.65 million pounds for

[Carl Christensen]

Sports Internet just paid 24 mln pounds in new shares and

650,000 cash to pay off debt to buy Planetfootball.com -- I'm wondering if this

is the largest sum paid to date in the U.K. for an Internet content company?



Not quite  - the chap behind the Games Domain site just sold out for 33

Million CASH


The Sunday Mirror got hold of the story a couple of weeks ago and really 

laid it on thick......


e.g. 3 years ago Dave Stanworth was jobless, penniless and wondering 

whether he had been condemned to be a failure all his life. After 

dropping out of school, Dave worked at a factory, on a building site 

labourer and as a bookie before launching a failed business that left 

him at rock bottom. He said: "I ended up on the dole, living in a 

council flat wondering what to do with my life. Now, after starting a 

computer games business in a former barbershop, the ex-labourer has sold 

up for �33 million


There's hope for us all !
