The Shell Game.
Wiki has it that the game dates back to at least ancient Greece, even back to Egyptian times. The reason I mention it maybe due to a large dollop of wishful thinking or one coffee too many - dunno. But maybe, perhaps, possibly it is because in order to keep my shirt (and dignity) I need to study the form before setting the odds on my various Tote boards.
Lately, as you can imagine, the CASA board has given me some serious thinking to do; the background to the new SoE, the shocking revelations of the Angel Flight Estimates session and several 'other' off centre events demand it. The latest head-scratch is detailed - HERE - . Like the SoE the subtle nuances within the report, with the possibility of some heavy duty Mandarin backing provides just a hint of smoke on the breeze, even if its not visible; just hidden between the lines.
I wonder if the 'untouchables' within the iron ring have grasped the notion that they have become involved in a Shell game? It sure looks that way from an outside view. The man at the back of the room could be forgiven for having a small wager at reasonable odds that the CASA elite are on a hiding to nothing. Have a coffee, read though the SSC.DLM, couple that with the SoE (and instructions), Taylor steering, Spence riding strictly to orders, Biskin integrity backed by the DPM, alongside the other bits and pieces floating about and see what you come up with.
For those with Choc frogs to spare - today one choc frog will return four (the win).
Toot - toot...
