Shareholders object to executive pay

Shareholders in Man Mountain Enterprises, publishers of the IJN*, have objected to the pay of the company's chief executive Mr Grool Inhillclimb.

They say it is not enough.

Mr Inhillclimb does such a wonderful job, said Mrs Tharg of Upcoming Programme in Kent who holds a 4p share in Man Mountain. We'd have to pay much more to ship in one of these executives from Eastern Europe.

Tom Wideface of Plankton Podbury who holds five (6) 4p shares in Man Mountain agrees. I don't really understand executive pay, but I think there should be more of it, if anything. You can never have too much of a good thing, can you?

Mrs Jen Till Inhillclimb of Man Mountain Towers, Catford Sidings, who holds 58,341 4p shares says People don't understand how hardworking these top executives are. They deserve to have their pay at least doubled and that's what I'll be telling the AGM.

Resorts send snow to skiers

Ski resorts have begun delivering snow by helicopter direct to skiers' homes in a move designed to protect the mountains from the environmental impacts of winter sports enthusiasts. Although it is a massive undertaking, say Sled Piler of the Alpine Resorts Institute, it works our more environmentally friendly to take the snow to each skier rather than flying all the skiers and their equipment to the mountains. Former British downhill champion Barg Matipsonfire commented: It's great to have your own individual snow but my garden is completely flat and it appears to be too warm to keep the skiing surface in tip top condition.
