David Cummings Quotations

Unless the service stations decide to cut their margins in order to continue selling fuel, over $1.40 will shock a lot of people into changing the way they use their car.

Imagine working 20% smarter instead of 20% longer...Work-life balance and startup success at any stage aren't mutually exclusive. There are enough hours in the day to be effective and present.

He has to be seen to be doing something and I think removing the GST on fuel excise, which is a tax on a tax, is a tangible way to show the Government cares.

Our goal was to vindicate our right to use an active polo player trademark. Today the jury gave us that right. We are pleased that the jury found that we have the right to use an active mounted polo player image that represents the sport of polo. Our sports merchandising program is part of our continuing effort to expand the awareness and popularity of our sport. Since 1984, the U.S. Polo Association has been trying to co-exist with Polo Ralph Lauren, but it appears that they wanted nothing more than a monopoly on the sport. That has ended today with this ruling.

I think longer term the prognosis is not good, many will have to pull out because clearly the discount dockets have been a great success.

We have not had any new orders to fill property requests. But I do anticipate some. We already have some property in that area on Highway 219 -- we were speculating with no idea this was coming. My suspicion is this will be good for us, good for housing sales and residential development.

Those who rejected the bid from Philip Green have been vindicated. Despite very tough retail conditions, the management are delivering.

What happened in Melbourne this week was pretty unacceptable and they're obviously softening us up for an even higher price next week.

We are supportive of Vodafone, but on the information currently available, we are skeptical as to whether the deal at the prices talked about will generate an acceptable financial return,

The route between the Isle of Man and Southampton is a key business link for many finance companies, and we are pleased to offer this service to our passengers.

They may not see their things happening right away, ... but there are things happening all around the county. We just get to it as we can - one bit at a time.

The mid-cap area of the market has been pretty strong so I think you might see a change of emphasis away from mid-cap to large-cap in 2006. I think the market should make progress somewhere in the 5-10 percent range.

Clearly the GST windfall is going to be considerable and I think the Prime Minister's option of doing nothing no longer exists,

The marketing and refining margins were pretty dismal. The production growth number certainly means there is a lot of catch-up needed in the second half...
