Blackstone Group's Merlin Entertainments is preparing an initial public offering, the Financial Times website reported on Friday. The offer would value Merlin at about 2 billion pounds ($3.26 billion USD) and is expected early next year, the report said, citing people familiar with the situation.
Read more from Reuters.
Who wants to go in and buy a few chunks of Merlin? If we get enough we can rename at least on of the parks "Charmland."

The plural of 'entertainment' is 'entertainment.' Is this a typo or the actual name of the company?
The bastardization of the English language continues. Already the death of the distinction between "less" and "fewer" is nearing completion. Pretty soon we'll all sound like Alex DeLarge.

Coveted linkback response opportunity.
Ohhh...make it the rare double linkback response. :)
What is proper to us is already a bastardization of what was proper previously...and that is a bastardization of what was proper before that...and so on.
The beauty of language is that it evolves.
I'd click on those, only I don't know what 'linkback' is . . . ;)

Thanks Gonch. Doesn't make it any less irritating. :)

1. Linkback
2. I'm already taking the 'old' meaning and skewing it into something of my own.
See, you're already two steps behind. Evolution is passing you by. ;)
Ya got me there, Sir Gonch. Clearly, I am not mutating as fast as you. ;)

That's OK, I thought Ensign said "mutilating."

^^Sounds like somebody's been watching a little bit too much Zombieland. ;)

Nah, too many Trick or Treaters...we had over 500. That many kids running around loose in fake blood-covered costumes will do that to a guy.
Zombieland, by comparison, is a piece of cake.
"I actually saw Eddie Van Halen at the Hollywood Bowl."
"Really? How is he?"
"He's a zombie."
Hysterical movie. Highly recommend, and I'm not even that much of a fan of the genre.

I'll wait for it on one of those new-fangled DVD's. :)

Oh, and Hopman, you're much younger than me. You should know these things. ;)
