Reminds me of kids who haven't studied and then get a note from mum saying that little Johnny can't do the exam today cos they're sick. And when you grow up ... and you haven't done your finance homework and can't make the deadline ... You get your Uncle who is Chief of police to arrest you so you can say sorry little Johnny can't make the meeting today - he's been a naughty boy. When it suits us we'll let him out to play again ...
The art of saving face ... Sorry guys I've had enough.
