And Finally... Bulletin 102 (May 09)


Castrol, sponsors of soccer analysis system the Castrol Index and the 2010 FIFA World Cup, have announced a new ‘global ambassador' in Christiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo with shirtThe Manchester United and Portugal superstar is one of the best known footballers in the world and his current goal tally for United is 23 so far this season. For those of you not familiar with top class soccer, that's an awful lot for a midfield player!

And for those of a nervous disposition, look away now, but we couldn't resist the news that Australian specialist lubricants manufacturer Nulon are bringing a range of additive products to the UK.  Amongst them, and already on the shelves since January, is their ‘instant engine starter' product named, with typical Australian directness, "Start Ya Bastard".

If the product works, who needs diplomacy?
