Shane is an also an award-winning copywriter who loves words, ideas and double-entendres. He has a deep and profound weakness for puns, which has often led him to linger too long over his morning coffee wondering if Charles Dickens had authored The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, would it have started: It was the best of chimes.
