What I meant was that I thought this company was still owed by the family, who is from San Francisco. I had no idea that is was a Buffett company now. They have a factory in South San Francisco and an outlet (seconds) store near the airport.

Got one of the three tails I was looking for thru ACARS. The CHQ flight didn't come up, and one way of the NK roundtrip didn't either.

I'm cranky. NW got my DTW-BOS flight delayed from 5:05 to 7:40. The alternative is delayed as well. We started with a mechanical problem for the incoming aircraft from PIT. Then NW promptly thought, "Oh cr@p, what're we doing? We can blame this on a ground stop in BOS!!!!"

"Attention passengers, we know we said earlier it was Mx with incoming aircraft in PIT, but we thought better of it, and put you on a different aircraft and now that can't leave because of a groundstop. We will no longer be able to reaccomodate you on our dime. Have a nice evening :)"

I have only flown NZ's old C cabin, but from the looks of it , the new C is just like the new AC C , and that was pretty good , its a flat bed and
the service was pretty good , the food selection on my recent YUL-CDG flight was bad , but the quality was still ok.

Indeed.

I have heard that NZ's food and service are quite good, but have not experienced them.

I think the NZ seats are wider than AC with better padding
closer to VS.

I just cannot convince myself to sign up, even if free.
Not sure I want to give it all up that to d'feds

MINISTRY OF MINERALS AND ENERGY
Mineralia Centre
Cnr of Andries and Visagie streets,
Pretoria, REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA.

I am Dr. :rolleyes:, Director of Projects, South Africa Department of Minerals & Energy. I am making this contact with you based on the committee's need for an individual/company who is willing to assist us with a solution to a funds transfer. In unfolding this proposal, I want to count on you, as a respected and honest person to handle this transaction with sincerity, trust and confidentiality. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top secret because of the nature of this transaction. Within the Department of Minerals & Energy where I work as a Director of Project and with the co-operation of two other top officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totalling Forty-Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars (US$47,500,000.00) which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and co-operation of a foreign company/individual to receive the said funds on our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to receive such funds. More so, we are handicapped in this circumstance, as the South Africa Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore account hence your importance in the whole transaction. This amount fourty Seven Million five hundred thousand represents the balanceof the total contract value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount which we have in principles got approval to remit by Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to any foreign bank account you will provide by filing in an application through the Justice Department here in South Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges of the former contractor to you. I have the authority of my partners involved to discuss on the modalities of sharing with you. Your share of the entire sum will be 30% US $14,250,000.00 (Fourteen Million, Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars), 67% US$31,825,000.00 (Thirty-One Million,Eight Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand United States Dollars) for us and 3% US$1,425,000.00 (One Million, Four Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand United States Dollars) for taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself has a minimal risk factor; on your part provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also, your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me. I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation. For absolute confidentiality, I will request that you reply to this letter providing the following information:

FULL NAMES: :rolleyes:
CONTACTADDRESS: :rolleyes:
COUNTRY: :rolleyes:
NATIONALITY: :rolleyes:
OCCUPATION: :rolleyes:
MARITAL STATUS: :rolleyes:
SEX: :rolleyes:
AGE: :rolleyes:
TEL NO: :rolleyes:
FAX: :rolleyes:

to the following address: E-mail::rolleyes:@jmail.co.za ,to entertain any questions concerning the clarity of this transaction. Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.

Best Regards,
Dr. :rolleyes:
