Thanks Gatwick security! Some might think body-searching a baby and binning his bottle was over zealous and weird, but not me! #ScaryBaby

“The consideration for Siteserv Holding Ltd’s acquisition of the Siteserv assets and business from Milliington was €45.4m. This was financed with shareholders’ equity of €12m and loan finance from AIB.
“In the period from June 2012 to April 2013, SHL drew down €32.4m from the bank in loan and overdraft finance and repaid €3m. So effectively O’Brien and his fellow shareholders got control of Siteserv using just €12m of their own cash.”

Last year I registered with my email address to get access to the [Dublin] Websummit Live Webcast. After the signup I got a “Thanks for applying for a Web Summit 2 for 1 tickets discount code” email. Yesterday I then got this (above)…. It looks like Websummit has used my email address to parse my twitter followers and cross reference it with their database of who had registered to watch the Live Webcast (pretending to be a 2 for 1 discount code). Confusing/Clever/Creepy…. you decide!
With no wifi, how is it even possible?
