It didn't!

The investors referenced were the few that went in with $50 mil and above including Sequoia Capital (Google's investment arm) which backed them to the tune of $257US mil. :)

Lance was in a lot earlier than that. Story goes that he put $100k into a fund, Lowercase Capital, that was run by a pal, Chris Sacca. Lance didn't know anything about Uber, but Sacca got in when Uber was valued at $3.7m. Lowercase returned between 250 and 300 times!

Edit: oh and without this investment, Lance reckons he would have been truly trucked. "It saved my family".

Rafa Nadal has won 14 French Opens since Essendon last won a final.

If only I knew an Essendon supporter I liked to whom I could convey this stat.

The quality of your work lately has been outstanding.

2 of the coaches that work in my gym are mad Essendon fans. You can enjoy the sharing of this nugget vicariously through little-old-mois.

Update:
"...
Haven’t won’t a final in 20 years, still lead the league in premierships
..."

They're beginning to sound like Collingwood fans did a few decades ago. Must have cut deep. Good job Swipey.

Thanks - full disclosure: only passing on what I received from someone else, so feel free to share.

Disappointed to see that Entrecote announced they received a formal apology (what is the threshold that turns an apology formal?) from both parties, which they have accepted, and won't make further comment. Was really hoping for a bit more from them.

I'd consider an apology as "formal" if it was on record (written or filmed) and adequately thorough. Entrecote probably scored that plus a swag of free publicity.

Their dinner menu looks fine. How's that for free advertising? I would never have looked if it wasn't for the Melbourne brawlers.

They also lead the league in Brownlow Medal Returns.

Over-rated. It is a France-Soir for Dickheads.

Sounds like a great day jimmy.

I've been under the weather too but have so far tested negative to COVID, got my flu jab 3 weeks ago. NFI what ails me.

While couching around I watched "Super Pumped", a series about the early days of Uber. Not bad, not great. It's a solid 6.5/10.

Funnily enough I picked up my Covid a few days after getting my flu jab the other week. ‘Twilight zone music’

Entrecote isn’t overrated. I use it all the time on the roses and they come up a treat.

Had lunch at Entrecôte recently. Was very disappointed in the food. In fact all five of us were disappointed. Not that great and overpriced. Although the wine was good, and I liked the restaurant design.

While Melb players are boxing on at fancy restaurants, a bunch of our players (including the great and powerful JDG!) spent the day at Port Phillip Specialist School. Nice to be on the morally superior side for once!

I risk coming across as "caveman-like" as Swipey does when he refers to all mens fragrance as cologne, but French cuisine in general doesn't excite me.

The best I've had is Robechon's in Paris but for €700 (yes, Euro) to feed a family of 4 in 2013, you'd rightfully expect something half-decent. The family could have enjoyed 40 of the finest wood-fired Capricciosas for that amount of moolah.

Yikes!

I love good French bistro food, when well done it’s the best. No elaborate sauces, but beautifully prepared veggies, and maybe a steak or fish.

The food we had at Entrecôte was not this.

One of the worst takes in the history of this thread. Beef bourguinon, coq au vin, tarte tatin, I could go on forever.

You are dead to me. For a few minutes.
