Yes, The Top Class Wednesday Update just went there

With Boss man Mark Polson away, it’s down to me to write this week’s update. Finally, someone sensible, you’re probably thinking. Someone we can get on board with. Don’t set your hopes high though. Doing an OK job means he may want me to write it again, and I’ve been stung before. At home I […]
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 […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update is possibly terminal

I don’t mean to frighten anyone but I’ve god a gold id by dose and am currently the sickest I’ve ever been like ever and no-one has ever been sicker than me even if they say they have. It’s not easy being a man you know. But don’t worry, I’ve been in touch with the […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update is in full stat mode

In amongst the permacrisis, a ray of light at the lang cat Port Authority yesterday. Most of the team – which incredibly numbers 21 now – found their way to the People’s Republic of Leith and we did a proper planning session and all that kind of thing. We also waved a fond a demain […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update stands with Ukraine

Some weeks there’s no place for whimsy. Two hours and 40 minutes flight time away things are going on this minute that render jokes pointless, to a country full of brilliant, utterly bonkers people who couldn’t deserve it any less. So no whimsy this week, but a quick reminisce instead. #STANDWITHUKRAINE Back in the days […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update is still standing

So here we are, it’s nearly the end of February already and 2022 is shaping up to be really quite the year round the lang cat Port Authority. Hope it is for you too. Although I do appreciate that for many of us the month that contained the last palindromic date (yesterday, since you ask) […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update was live

So we came, we did it, we drank all the drinks and then we left again. And now, as the covers are pulled back over #langcatlive until the early autumn when we will – spoiler alert – do an in-person Home Game in Edinburgh, we have that nice moment of reminiscing when we can decide […]
