I work for BP, and every time they mention the cost of the deep water horizon incident, they mention the loss of life aswell. Obviously the media can report on whatever bit they like

Don't worry, I didn't take it that way :-) (not that you were worried ;-)).

Dom, once you've no hair left, will you get a soul back?

(obviously this is meant to be funny, apologies to any one sensitive about the colour or quantity of hair that they may or may not have; other jokes are available; etc.).
