Ann: Appointment of Executive Chairman, page-17

Are you suggesting that Chris has turned up to the office dressed in his lederhosen and kilt wearing nothing under both? A big night out flashging the shmickels and crown jewels perhaps? I know the Scots are tight with their money but it seems the whole company was tight with their lips too. The only thing flattering would be Chris's butt cheeks which previously as clenched as an unopened oyster but now could be squealing like a pig on a german forest barbeque. Too many Weihenstephan Hefe Wieissbeers,too many Schofferhofers, too many Paulanar salvator doppel bocks, too many Aecht Schlenkerla Ruchbiers...I mean folks, the list goes on and on. Has anyone ever wondered why the Germans are up there as being the worlds best beer drinkers. Read that list I mentioned, and there's more folks much more fun beer names in germany but imagine the fun times to be had walking into a german version of Dan Murphys and asking for a slab of ecked shlencurler fuchtbeers ? What do we have here in Oz, give me a slab of vee bees mate, how about a slab of coldies mate, where's the passion. Carlton and United need their marketing to come up with a long named beer.

Back on track, not too many folks had this pegged but this is my idea. This company is going places and could seriously could be in an early play. Babette is the gal for me as you all know. Big big fan. I have seen a lot of action flicks and the german gals are never to be messed with. They don't come out of the ocean dressed in yellow bikinis. The frauleins come out with guns blazing using Walther 7.65mm PPk's made by Carl W himself. But if they want to get down and real business-like dirty and I can see Babette and the new CEO in a corporate picture, then they will be carrying Mashinengewhr 42's , better known as the MG 42. Not to be confused now with the Indian car company.

So to this point SHP was a small company. From here on in the Board have made us big. We need a bigger CEO going forward with six billion tonnes of potash under our feet. Chris had done a lot to be there when the ship was full of holes and just about to be capsized. He gave away everything to Delphi including those dreaded options. Mr Delphi undoubtedly filled Chris up with jagerbombs before he pulled out that famous shiny stainless steel Schaffer writing implement to sign on the dotted line.

Think Phil Jackson with the Chicago Bulls. See what he did. If you don't know, the Last Dance is for you on Netflix. But for us, the waltz is just getting started and I want a dance with Babette because she already knows what the music is, she already knows what's underground and she knows how to exploit it for the betterment of all of us. Short term pricing, meh, this move has the big picture involved. I would say a big healthy picture - bhp. I knew I'd get you to smile for a moment after the perversity of just thinking about Chris is a kilt.
