BOOM! PA PA
Warmonger pin ups BAE Systems are not just a pretty face, they have many other talents too, featuring their very own brass band, which tours around the UK's top venues, such as the Brook Theatre, Chatham, Kent, and the, now legendary, Bryn-Bach Park Frith Golf Course, Derbyshire. Suggestions as to what the band's favourite tunes are, please, to the usual address.
Maybe they sometimes play the theme tunes of other corporations - like this offering from some of the people at a certain well known consulting firm... 'KPMG, we're strong as can be / A team of power and energy / We go for the gold / Together we hold onto our vision of global strategy[1].' Now who says that corporate music is no good? You can also savour the magic in the hard rock, jungle and 'Teutonic master mix.' No - we're not making this up.
MICKY MOUSE MILITARY Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz reported in November 2005 that 'ShamrockCapital Advisors, the California-based investment arm of the Roy Disney family, said yesterday that it is launching a new $125 million fund to invest in Israel over a four-year period.' The investments that are being looked at include oil refineries, media companies - and Israel's military industries, which the government plans to privatise. The Chairman of Shamrock, which has already invested $500m in Israel, is Roy Disney, nephew of Walt himself.
MANX IN SPAAAACE The Isle of man is set to become the 'Switzerland of space', with a £955,000 push for marketing itself as one of the top sites for space activities. Readers may comment that one obstacle is that, while the IoM is arguably stuck in a time-warp, it is not actually in space. As well as being manxist, this comment would betray a lack of knowledge of the space market - which is a business largely involving licensing satellites from offshore bases such as Bermuda, Cayman, Gibraltar, Luxembourg and Singapore. We wish the IoM's Director of Space Commerce all the best in showing the world that British islands can compete in the top league of low-regulated tax-havens.[2] References
