I'm writing this on my laptop in the departure lounge of Kuala Lumpur International Airport, on the way home from the enjoyable and successful Global Fuels Conference, since I have an hour to spare (even though it is nearly midnight). One of the unusual topics that came up at the conference (or should I say, 'at the bar' afterwards) was 'What would you do with a million pounds?' For international readers, that's probably Euro1.2m or US$1.5m.

‘To me it feels like a time of change.’ That was my theme for January’s ‘Last Word,’ but back then in the innocent early days of the year, I could have had no inkling of the burst of revolutionary zeal that would erupt just days later. Who knows where today’s events in the Middle East will eventually take us? Possibly it is worthwhile to look back to see what has happened in the past in other areas of the world (but possibly not). As Mark Twain was once supposed to have said, ‘History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.’
