The Top Class Wednesday Update is crocked
I keep telling you June is the month that keeps on giving. And what it’s given me now is a crocked Achilles tendon and gracious, doesn’t that just smart. Obviously, in common with all men, my ability to withstand pain without whining is unparalleled but even so: michty. Jings and crivvens and perhaps even help […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update is going to the (science fiction) double feature
So it’s always good to open oneself to new experiences, as Brad and Janet found out. Just the other week, for example, Mark Locke spent a whole hour without a mobile phone to his ear, and he’s the happier for it. And it is in that spirit that we’re going to try something completely new […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update is a fan of both Terry and June
Hello and welcome to your June. I’m a big fan of June; it’s a month where lots of things happen. The heating is off (not because it’s warm up here, just because we can’t afford it), lots of exciting worky things are happening, the industry is finally cranked up and into gear, and this year […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update lives seven metres above sea level
Hello, happy Wednesday. Unusually, I’m writing this early this morning (if you’re reading it on the day it comes out; if you’re reading it later then that last statement is fake news and you should ignore it). As I’m doing a quick scout of news to see if there’s anything that would make a better […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update is a fan of change
Hello, hello, back again. After having done something like 150 of these Updates, it’s a wonderful thing to have a team that can not only dep on Update duty from time to time, but even volunteers for it sometimes. I mean, there was Mike before – celebrating his 7th birthday with us this very day […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update had a nice time thanks
So how would we rate the last couple of Updates then? I thought Scott’s was very good. Didn’t read Mike’s. Only kidding. I was indeed at my first industry awards do for – I think – four years last week, having forsworn them long before the pandemic. I remember being a total grouch at one […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update says wan oot all oot
A shorter than usual Update this week, siblings, as many of you will have been plagued by us already with communications about the beta launch of MPS Analyser to sit alongside Platform Analyser. And we certainly don’t want to test the limits of your endurance, not least as many of you are about to head […]
Happy new tax year from The Top Class Wednesday Update
It gets earlier every year, doesn’t it? I still remember fondly the years of midnight deadlines, getting applications time-stamped so that they could be keyed as if they were from the day before, and the hunted look all round as everyone girded their loins to just get through it. Oh OK, it doesn’t get earlier […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update would have put a bit more on it
So I was going to have a week off the Update, but it’s been a busy old week and so I thought I’d jot down a couple of musings on the news of the day, or yesterday when you read this. No, not a tall man slapping a slightly shorter man in the face. Before […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update tolerates ambiguity
First things first, thank you to those who wrote last week to check on my health. I’m pleased to say that about 80% of correspondents just took the mick, but 20% or so were genuinely solicitous. To them I send much love, reassurance that it’s not a new and more deadly form of Covid, and […]
