Normally I’m all for listening in to my smart-brained man and understanding his businesses more, but tonight, dining with the beefy chuckle brothers, was painful. It was repetitive, monotonous basics about installing them into the casino if Alexi goes ahead with the purchase of the one we are viewing tomorrow.

It looks like a certainty, anyway. The way they were all talking it’s almost as if he has bought it already. Apparently, there has been endless months of negotiation and back and forth between lawyers and owners and Alexi needs to do a final once over of the entire premises before agreeing to a final price.

He has seen it...
