AOT Coaches of Hucknall operated this ex Go North East, NCME bodied Volvo Olympian for a few years on school contract work. New to London General in January 1998, the bus was by now looking tired and can't imagine that it lasted too much longer after I took this snap. I suspect that a trip up North to the Carlton scrap yards would soon be beckoning.
Pictured on Watnall Road, Hucknall the bus is passing to its left, what was then the Hucknall Town FC ground. This has since been redeveloped into a housing estate. Hucknall has literally been doubled in size over the last few years with the amount of new housing being built to extend the town.

Siding is a key part of your home. Not only does it keep out the harsh Nebraska weather; it serves an important aesthetic purpose as well. Not every siding material is created equal. Some are extra durable, some require less maintenance – so choosing the right type is an important decision.

They say there’s nothing new in marketing, but just take a look at how MAC Contracting approaches its business…
In the past eight months, Marcus Clay, the Managing Director of Tamworth based MAC Contracting, has added two new Scania 340hp eight-wheelers plus two Scania Approved Used Trucks - both R-cabbed 360hp tippers - to his rapidly growing fleet.
“And we won’t be stopping there”, he adds. “We’ve taken a 400hp 6x4 T truck from Keltruck and I’m looking to significantly build up the fleet in the coming months and years”.
Since its formation in 1997, MAC Contracting - which is involved in servicing the road-building industry - has been carving itself something of a reputation: In an extremely short space of time, the company has succeeded in winning business with all the major road-planing companies in the West Midlands and now works in close partnership with them. So how have they done it?
“It’s actually very simple”, explains Mr Clay. “We just give the haulage away!” And he’s serious, as in fact MAC Contracting does just that. For collecting and hauling away the spoil from planed roads, the company charges no fee. It’s income comes at the other end of the line - re-selling the material on for re use in road building.
“I suppose its something of a unique proposition”, says Mr Clay, “but one that is, of course, very well received. Also, it means that we are operating environmentally consciously as well, re-cycling whatever we can for use a second time around”.

It seems like once you pick up one cigarette, your life will be changed forever and you just signed a lifetime contract. I hate smoking but any picture that i get of my mom or grandma (grandma is above) they are always smoking, and i hate it!

The Kahala Hotel & Resort
5000 Kahala Avenue
Honolulu, Hawaii
In 1959 real estate developer Charlie Pietsch Jr obtained a long term land lease on the 6 1/2 acre hotel site from Bishop Estate. Being a member of Bishop's Trust Executive Committee helped! With Waialae lease in hand, Pietsch puts together a 50/50 deal with his acquaintance Conrad Hilton. Pietsch signed a contract with Hilton International to operate the proposed 10 story hotel.
Pietsch suggested the name The Kahala Hilton because Waialae was too hard to pronounce and spell. Architects were Killingsworth, Brady, and Smith of Long Beach. The groundbreaking of the 368-room Kahala was in 1962 and the resort opened in 1964 with a $26 rate. The construction of the hotel resulted in Waialae Country Club to redesign several of its golf course holes. The resort used the post-and-beam construction on a grand scale that became one of Killingsworth’s hallmarks. More than 100 coconut palms were planted. 18,000 yards of fine sand were barged from Molokai island to pad the beach front. The resort cost $12 million to build. Killingsworth and his firm also designed the Halekulani Hotel, the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and the Kapalua Bay Hotel.
In 1968 Charles Pietsch sold his half of The Kahala to TWA, the owner of Hilton International, for $16.5 million.
1973 - TWA/Hilton International sells its shares in the hotel to mortgage holder Massachusetts Mutual life, but retains
management contract. Massachusetts Mutual Life sells its shares to MEPC, one of the largest property development
companies in the world at a price of over $20 million. In 1977 William Weinberg initiates a plan to buy the hotel for a price between $26 and $28 million. The contract takes two years to negotiate before closing the deal in May 1977. William Weinberg (WKH Corp.) owned the Kahala Hilton hotel from 1977 to 1993, this investment was most near and dear to his heart.
In 1993, WKH Corp. sold the 6.5 acre resort to an investment group then headed by isle developer Bill Mills after an arbitration panel raised the resort's annual lease rent from $96,000 a year to $5.6 million a year. Bishop Estate had proposed an annual rent of $13.5 million while WKH offered to pay $1.3 million a year. Japan-based Kahala Royal Corp. (Katsumi Iida) and local developer Bill Mills paid an estimated $50 million.
In 1996 the hotel was renamed Kahala Mandarin Oriental after a 40 percent investment by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. The Mandarin Oriental Group took over management, lasting until 2005
In 2005 Kahala Royal Corp., the Hawai'i firm owned by Katsumi Iida, paid $97 million to Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group for its 40 percent stake in the hotel on land leased from the Kamehameha Schools. Trinity Investments of Honolulu bought the hotel for $175 million in 2006 and rebranded it "The Kahala." Trinity is owned by California hotelier Chuck Sweeney and attorney Jon Miho of Honolulu.
In August 2014 - The Kahala Hotel & Resort was sold to Japanese-based Resorttrust Inc. for $300 million, which equates to $887,000 per room, the highest per-room price ever paid for an Oahu hotel property. Resorttrust will use the hotel as part of its time-share network. The new owner plans to retain Landmark Hotels Inc., the Trinity affiliate that took over management of the hotel in March 2006. All employees are expected to be retained by Resorttrust, which will assume the collective bargaining agreement between the hotel and UNITE HERE! Local 5.

“What’s the happiest moment in your life?”
“Probably like recently 6 months ago to be honest bruv. Like before, I would have said like (laughs) when my military service was over. Coz it was only 6 months but it felt like years, you know what I mean. But now it’s a whole different story coz, now like, I’ve lived that moment where, you’re in a situation, where it’s one of them ones where you like you’re stuck, you can’t move forward. But there’s something there for you to grab, but you got a chain on your leg you can’t go forward like coz. I got married, I got like I got engaged init and basically, like my misses she was, everything like the engagement, the wedding and that was all ready, what date was planned, everything. And obviously I never had no job, I had no money, I never had no job, I never had nothing and everything was just planned out and what, this is why what I said to you earlier. Like it’s a blessing fam coz the second, like you get into that, you put yourself in that situation when you’re like, when you have to do something, you need to get your arse, just brake that chain, and just move forward. Like it just, you just, it just happens, and also Allah helps you coz you’re praying and that. You’re just praying, praying, praying and just being patient coz patience obviously is a virtue, you know what I mean. You need to, you need to just wait and that’s what I was doing. I was waiting, waiting, waiting and 2 months before my wedding. I got this full time job, and obviously, I got my first payment, and then went straight to turkey and that was it. It was like, that first month, my first pay, is usually like in our culture you got to give that first pay to your mumzi or dadzi just so like the baraket (blessings) of your money is like, it goes up like it’s more valued you know. And obviously instead of doing something, instead of doing that, it still went for something good which was for the wedding. Coz my mumzi and dadzi was going to pay for everything anyway and obviously, I was always like praying ah I wanna help them out, I don’t want them to spend any money and that, so basically that was it yeah. I just I’ve just, I gave all of my money there, put it down, put my head down, got married and now I’m happy and obviously if you ask me the same question, like 3 or 4 months later. I’d probably say the happiest time for me is, I got my job, I applied for a visa and the visa has got accepted so my wife would be here. That I could bring my wife here and just start my own life, you know what I mean, and yeah that’s it.”
