Nothing, there was no news to post so I thought we needed some entertainment.

Maybe AHold is looking at this company, I doubt it but it is a real long shot. There is a just maybe that Sam could be setting this company up to be sold, by bringing in US Foodservice people? Maybe that is why he is so quite? JMHO

(AHO.N: Quote, Profile , Research) is looking at "small, fill-in acquisitions" and that big acquisitions were "not a main priority," Chief Executive Anders Moberg said on Thursday.

Ahold is selling its U.S. Foodservice catering supplies subsidiary for $7.1 billion.

"We are always looking at small, fill-in acquisitions," Moberg told reporters on a conference call, adding that a large acquisition was not a priority for the retailer.

Belgium's Delhaize (DELBt.BR: Quote, Profile , Research), with a market capitalisation of 7 billion euros ($9.5 billion), has been cited by analysts as a potential merger partner for Ahold.

Moberg declined to say on the call whether Delhaize was a target.
