THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE HAS ALWAYS BEEN MOBILE
Some confusion here at the lang cat’s Secondary Port Authority as everyone else marks their year of lockdown this week, whereas ours was last week. Maybe we’re just even more antisocial than everyone else. Whichever is the case, this is as good a time as any to send a cloud of positive vibe-filled ethereal psychic […]
HAPPY LOCKDOWNIVERSARY FROM THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE
Jings, crivvens and help ma boab, it was a year ago yesterday that we emptied the fridge, fumigated the harder-to-reach areas of someone’s desk (M**k L***e) and had a quick fight over who would get to take the rest of the bog roll home (me). We shut the shutters and that’s been that for a […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE COUNTS THEM ALL BACK IN AGAIN
And so we bear down on a full year since all this madness began. Next week will mark the anniversary of when we shut the office; seems like twice that. For those readers in Engerland with kids, I hope the return to school has been good; ours is next week and it really can’t come […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE COULD TAKE SUNAK IN A SQUARE GO, EASY
Yeah, OK so he’s got our entire economic future held in his Coke-addicted (as opposed to coke-addicted, let’s make that clear) hands, but has he got 500 words on MiFID II negative target market definition and disconnects in MI between manufacturers and distributors of retail investment products? NO HE DOES NOT. So that’s a win […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE SAYS IT’S ALL IN THE MIND
Hello, hello, me again. Sorry for breaching your inboxes yesterday in an unexpected fashion and thanks to all who dropped a note to say you’d voted for Steve for Professional Adviser’s Personality of the Year. Double thanks to those of you who managed to crack a joke about Steve’s personality too – all of those […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE IS SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY
Non-apologies are great, aren’t they? As a rhetorical device they’re hard to beat. At one stroke you can say you’ve apologised, and your interlocutor is left sputtering about how that wasn’t a proper apology, which in turn lets you come straight back with “Oh, we’re grading apologies now? Well I’m sorry you feel my apology […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE IS NOTHING IF NOT PREDICTABLE
Some people just don’t want to go messing about with irony. After the excitement of James Hay’s announcement that it plans to assimilate Nucleus, I popped onto the Twitter and hilariously asked if anyone had any thoughts on what I might cover this week. Well, I got lots of nice suggestions and now I feel […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE IS HERE FOR YOUR STONKS
Were you in? On #GME? And Dogcoin? Were ya? I’m proud to say that I took all the cash we’ve built up in the lang cat over the last 10 years, and SPANKED it straight on these STONKS because that’s what RoaringKitty told me to do. No, I didn’t, and neither did you (though Mark […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE TAKES THE LONG VIEW
Nearly done with January. And breathe. They – whoever ‘they’ are – say it’s darkest just before the dawn. This isn’t true – it’s coldest just before dawn; the lighting state is influenced primarily by lunar phase and urban light pollution – but it’s a useful way of saying that you shouldn’t be downhearted; that […]
YOU HAVE NO NEED TO PARDON THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE
No, indeed you do not, for the Update is practically perfect in every way and shines out in the darkness like…I dunno, a big shiny thing, but one which kind of has its own light rather than reflecting other light, or maybe both. That sort of shiny. Not this sort of shiny. I’m glad we’ve […]
