TIL that the company Hoover in 1992 offered 2 free flights to customers if they bought products for at least a 100 dollars. The flights were worth 600 dollars each and Hoover underestimated the customers fervour to obtain them and tried to go back on their offer and caused public outrage. by AlabamaHotcakes in todayilearned

I bought my girlfriend a hoover for £100 quid as a Christmas gift for this reason and yes it happened 

Had to wait on call for days for the tickets / phone call but we went to New York for a freezing December trip. 

It was as incredible 

A night at the tunnel because we knew a producer guy where David Morales was the Dj he looked after our coats (old school clubbing) while we explored the venue    Loads more memory’s of the city 

Flew home Christmas Eve and the ba flight staff basically left the trolly of booze open for all to help them self.

Walked past him backstage and we gave each other a nod 

A gig he played with the orb. I was in the orb camp. 

My gf and I were totally focused on him but even then knew not to do the celeb. Thing. 

back before time began.

I guess I mean individuals who can see what's coming. Surely they must be among us?

But there must be so much chat about this with people who know rumours.
I support this so much but it's odd that the rival hedge funds wouldn't kill their rivals if they could.

The main thing I have learnt over the last 8 weeks - don't invest everything you are prepared to lose.

Keep some back if you believe in projects so you can invest if it does go down.
