THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE IS THINKING ABOUT THE IMPORTANT STUFF – PART 2
After Mike’s Update of a couple of weeks ago, it’s a total joy and a welcome break from industry stuff and wider nonsense to welcome a new lang kitten to the world. Steve Nelson, who many of you will know as @langcatsteve, is the proud dad of Eva Nelson-Lebov who turned up yesterday. Eva and […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT ADVICE IS ANY MORE
Back from half term, just as you all go off on yours. In a week where timescales have proved to be pretty contentious, it’s tempting to make a political crack about that, but I’m going to resist. So let’s just Get Update Done and I think if we all really put our own agendas to […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE PREFERS PROFITABLE EXOTIC SPICES
And so here we are again, siblings. As soon as one Update is done with, the next one hoves into view, and sometimes I can’t help but believe that these small ways in which we mark the passing of the weeks until the last syllable of recorded time do nothing but light fools such as […]
THE TOP CLASS UPDATE DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO BEGIN TO THANK YOU
A lot to get through this week, but in place of the usual top-of-Update whimsy, please accept heartfelt thanks from all of us to all of you who supported our 20 Mile CatWalk, which we completed on Saturday past. We had an amazing day, which is nice for us, but much more important is the […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE JUST WANTS EVERYONE TO PLAY NICELY
So I was at the Schroders Platform of the Year Awards last night, in which this sector of the industry proves each year that there really is no such thing as austerity. Good times. Anyway, it was a fun night, and the question I got asked most was ‘have you done tomorrow’s Update yet?’ and […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE HASN’T EVEN GOT A YACHT
If you switch the radio off, and get everyone in the office to shush, and the cars outside to stop, and the children to stop playing, and the wind to drop, you can just, if you try really, really hard and perhaps get your ears syringed a bit, hear the world’s smallest violin, wielded by […]
ONLY 9 WEEKS TO GO UNTIL THE LANG CAT’S DEADx TALKS RETURNS
No, not until Christmas (you’ve got 15 weeks for that. Depressed yet?) But it is just nine weeks until the lang cat returns to The Crypt on the Green in fashionable Clerkenwell for the sixth in our annual series of THE DEADx TALKS. We’ll be there on the afternoon of 14 November, and the purpose […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE NEEDS NO WET SIGNATURES
Here we are again, siblings. Did you know that 2019 is 70% complete? I’m rounding up, it’s only 69.6% and we won’t go through 70% until Saturday, but I’ve always said that spurious accuracy in whimsical yet informative financial services weekly Updates is unnecessary and overrated. Although, to be completely accurate, the nature and quantum […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE ALWAYS SITS UP STRAIGHT
A shorter Update from me this week, mainly because instead of writing it last night like I normally do, I was up late ending myself with laughter at coverage of the House of Commons. All this uncertainty makes me think more than ever about the value of having someone who can give the longer term […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE ALWAYS STATES ITS VALUE
It is a truth universally acknowledged that I know absolutely hee-haw about football. Not only don’t I know anything about it, such is my fear of hypermasculine conversations about it that I’ve been known to offer to go to the bar when the subject comes up. Which is odd, as the game I really follow […]
