I was surprised to get an email from London’s Royal Opera House warning me that the performance of Salome which I was due to see on Saturday was full of “nudity and violence”.
After that there were reviews in the papers with added gory photos for those who were a bit hazy as to what nudity and violence actually looked like. By the time we came to the dance of the seven veils and the head-chopping finale, the suspense had been building for weeks.
It’s a bit like that with the long-awaited news as to who will be the buyer of BASF’s styrenics operations. There was a hint at EPL last week that the announcement was imminent and that a top styrenics manager would not be making the move to the new owner.
And on Friday came an insider tip that a major announcement would be made by INEOS in the next few days.
The Blog is breathless with the suspense….
The major announcement from INEOS came on Thursday, with the news that it would be buying BASF's Seal Sands, UK, acrylonitrile plant. You can read Lucy's article on it on: http://www.icis.com/Articles/2008/03/13/9108385/BASF-agrees-Seal-Sands-sale-to-INEOS.html. But the suspense over BASF's styrenics continues ....
this is disgusting
