oh bugger !, page-13

re: oh bugger ! gas agreement ?? A scenario speculative. The new Mauritanian Government engages "consultants" to advise them on the negotiations associated with a gas production agreement. Said consultants examine the fine print of the existing oil production agreements and say to their client "How on earth did your predecessor agree to these amendments? He was well and truly screwed by those cunning Aussie bathplugs! And by the way it would be an extremely good negotiating tactic for this new gas agreement to cut up really rough about the changes to the oil agreement . It will put those Aussie batsmen well and truly on the back foot, and we're sure you'll finish up gaining on the swings what you might have lost on the roundabouts"

As Slamming Sam Kekovich would say " You know it makes sense!"
