Simon Dingemans is leaving the greatest bank in the world to join a drug company. Does this make any sense at all? Maybe. Chief financial officer. Not a bad position. A lot of people will say he's done well for himself.
I wonder if GlaxoSmithKline is moving into the desert. Plenty of peyote in the desert. Is that why the firm needs Mr Dingemans? We all know that Goldman employs more financial shamans than any other bank.
Simon Dingemans says -
Come on come on come on, why haven't I shaken the world? Teeth on my fist, blood on my fingers. I enjoy the pain. Come on! I am a sha sha shaman. I have worked with sha shaking sha shamans. I know their ways. Their ways are my ways, my high ways in the red sky. I am a sha shaman sha man. Hallucinogenic cactus sha! This is it. Bitten by a sha rattlesnake! Thunder stars like money, silver coins. Drum sha drums in my head man! Burnings across the desert, yearnings sha man. Chanting and sha shaking sha dancing on man the earth!

Storm of sha blood, sha man fire, tears aflame man, aching for it, now! Here! Animals! Take it! This is ... come on! Come on come on come on, man man sha sha sha man.
Interesting. Mr Dingemans obviously realizes that GlaxoSmithKline wants him for more than his understanding of finance and all his years of experience. So Glaxo must be going after the peyote. I'm not sure I approve, really. I'll have to think about this. I don't have anything against Simon, but I can (and will) block his appointment to the position of CFO if I have to - if I decide it's necessary, I mean.
