Percy having brekkie in NZ at 8am to watch the start

I will have to learn to count. I assumed PT was having a dig at those in NZ having to get up at 2am. Now I am enlightened, I will struggle to stay awake for that, especially if the commentary contains too much yankee southern drawl.

I wrote a bit of a rant about this when NPX blipped.

I just checked. The blip down that NPX encountered before their announcement turned out to be another valid example reinforcing my belief.

Some races this year have been boring,yet others have been fantastic.
Vettel is just so good,and is always exciting to watch.
Had to record the races,as I sometimes feel asleep,and missed the finish.!!

Who wins? The F1 franchise? Vettel? The US? All irrelevant. At the end of the day the winner will be Ryman.

Sparky, you're back !!!

Great to see Ryman doing well in Australia.

All good news, Good to see they are sharing the benefits with the employees,

"Ryman has increased caregiver pay rates by 5% for the second year in a row - a move which makes them one of the top payers in the sector."

Australia news good and the future even better ?

happy holder

1st 10 min of trading and RYM up 11c to $7.95

Should be an interesting day's trading after lunchtime when the Insto workers have finished standing around drinking their morning lattes and scratching their balls.

Yes Mr Sloth, looking after the staff is more important now than recent years, Blocky has been doing a bit of part time work of late for agricultural related companies in Canterbury and the biggest issue I see looming is the retention of staff, pay is a good start and in the case of a lot of workers hours are also important, 60 hours or more gets tiring after a while even when well paid.

Good on ya Ryman

Thrilled with this result. The question of how Ryman is going in Aus has been answered.
- 48 apartments already signed up - well ahead of the company's presales targets and 6 months ahead of the village opening. This already represents almost 10% of last financial year's NZ apartment sales (517) and there's still 6 months until opening. Does anyone know the capacity of the Melbourne village?
- they're now in position to commit to second stage of village
- they've decided to commence search for second site

There's been a lot of talk on this thread about the potential issues strong Australian unions could cause Ryman - I'm glad to see Ryman has proven yet again that they're well and truly up to the task.

Also very impressed by the profit growth each half and dividend growth.

Slam Dunk and others the true operational profit of the Aussie operation won't be known for a couple of years the union stuff etc hasn't even started yet, not in the bag yet but here's hoping
