The Top Class Wednesday Update will do the show right here
Well, this is unusual. I’m writing this Update sitting in the bar car of the Caledonian Sleeper, about to pull out of Waverley on the way down to London for #langcatlive on Thursday, or tomorrow when you read this. It’s my first sleeper trip for at least three years – they have showers now! – […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update is just an update
Hi folks, it’s new cat, Rich Mayor here serving up food for thinking during my third week with this rabble. Rather rudely, the world didn’t stop turning while I’ve been settling in, but that does mean there’s a fair bit to chew on in the runup to #langcatlive next week. We’re down to our last […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update will accept being ambushed by cake
I mean, I’m not mad about cake to be honest, I’d rather be ambushed by an artisan-made craft sausage roll such as one may buy at Tebay, the most middle-class of all motorway services. But if you’re going to be ambushed and porky-pastries aren’t an option, it may as well be by cake. It reminds […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update is often inappropriate
A busy Update this week; looks like the holiday hangover period is well and truly done for. It may not be the only thing that’s done for this week, but entertainment is going to have to wait. The big news this week is the FCA’s new Consultation Paper (CP22/2, which must equal CP11, no?). This […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update is ready for you now
So here we are, siblings. Happy New Year to all; there didn’t seem much point in doing an Update last week as most of you were still off and there’s only so much you can read about the lack of Hogmanay parties before you end up even more depressed than you were before. (Insert Deity […]
The lang cat’s albums of 2021
Well here we are, right at the point where the old year gives a feeble cough, exhales and lets its eyes roll back as the violins swell. Hogmanay afternoon is a nothingy sort of time, so it’s a good chance to write my last blog of the year. As ever, it’s the list of the […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update is merry and bright*
*conditions apply And so this is it, siblings – the last Update of 2021. I think we all know not much work is going to be done next week, not least because the kids (at least up here) are breaking up on Friday and so we are all set for one of the least tolerable […]
It’s the end of an era for HomeGames
Hi everyone, Mark here. If you tuned in to HomeGames last week with Petronella West of Investment Quorum, you’ll have heard Steve say that we’d do a round-up of HomeGames’ best bits this week. That was the plan, but on balance we’ve decided not to do a session this week – that’s right, you’ve […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update would like a laser pen please
Afternoon all. Mike here. I’m taking control of the weekly update whilst Mark puts up the Christmas decorations in anticipation of the first lang cat office party for two years tomorrow afternoon. Apologies in advance to anyone I bounce to voicemail on Friday morning…. My favourite part of any James Bond movie is when he […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update loves a long launch
Happy December everyone, a couple of deep breaths and it’ll soon be time to have a break and wave goodbye to another pretty minging year. In the meantime, though, we have new Stuff to think about and play with! This doesn’t happen so often these days; I remember a time not all that long ago […]
