Where's my 5 quid?
I think the verb Shell Management is looking for is "to forge" rather than "to create." They mean almost the same thing except that "to forge" has that little bit extra in it that somehow just makes you think of Nigeria and SPDC. Or is that just me? Anyway, Harry, start with my 5 quid and then we can talk.
With enough brown envelopes (419 should be just about enough) I can forge any sort of relationship you want. Short-time, long-time, all-nighter, sort out the trouble with the houseboy... I think I learned enough working for Shell in Nigeria to forge just about anything you might need.
To climb into bed with Caverscam sort of boggles the mind, in between bursts of laughter and not a few tears but I guess that just goes to show why it must have been a mistake of mine ever to overestimate Shell.
