And welcome to Planet State the Obvious.

So you'll be pleased to hear that the new head of BP Bob Dudley has said his top priority 'is to permanently seal the leaking Gulf well, contain the crude spill and to clean and restore the area's beaches.'

Phew. And there was me thinking that top of his list would have been to call the interior designer and redecorate the office.

He did that before he took over. I mean, there's priorities, and then there's priorities.

And god only knows what stains that Tony fellow left on the furniture, anyway.

HAH ! Great line.

I heard he was pretty oily.

Right, I'll get me coat...

Gah. It's not a priority, is it? It should be like the only, urgent, desperate thing.

Please stick around Fat Sparrow, bad puns and all !

Yeah, Jo. You would have thought so.

Apparently the Tony fellow was reported to have said 'thank god I get my life back' upon leaving.

Uh huh. I'm sure.

But I think they should have picked him up and dropped him in the oil sludge alongside the dying marine life nonetheless.

IT's the least they could have done before he picked up his massive bonus.

Fat Sparrow said...

Do you think Tony uses that as his new chat-up line? "Hi, would you like to see my massive bonus?"

Sadly enough, I'd bet it would work.

Yup, I think you're right, Fat Sparrow!
