THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE JUST WANTS ITS MONEY BACK
Over the last year, the TCWU has become as much a public service as a fascinating, erudite, entertaining and above all indispensable companion to your hoisin duck wrap or whatever on a Wednesday lunchtime. This is objectively true; inasmuch as the TCWU is any of those things, it is also a public service. The exact […]
DEAR CEO: IT’S THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE. YOURS SINCERELY, THE LANG CAT
No prizes for guessing what’s getting me out of the cat basket, bristling with Updating fervour this week. In fact there are never any prizes for guessing what’s getting me out of the cat basket, bristling with Updating fervour, so that pretty much makes this a normal week. Albeit one with an unusually straightforwardly titled […]

CALEDONIA, YOU’RE CALLING US AND NOW WE’RE STAYING HOME (AGAIN) After a brilliant day at our inaugural Scottish Home Game conference last year, we are feeling emboldened and right up for doing it all again. So I’m pleased to be able to tell you that Home Game #2 is go and will be on the […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE HAS NO INTENTION OF BONGING
Well, the quiet start to the year didn’t last long, did it? I’m not even down the Christmas chocolates yet, let alone the Oloroso lake I’ve given the basement over to. So we’d better get to it this week, whimsy will have to take a back seat. What’s that, whimsy? You don’t want to sit […]
WELCOME TO THE NO FUN DECADE WITH THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE
So here we are, and here it is, and I hope you managed to mark the passing of midwinter in the way that makes most spiritual and cultural sense to you. I personally learned some interesting lessons about what happens the next day when you let an 8-year old stay up till 4.15am on Hogmanay. […]
THE LANG CAT’S ALBUMS OF 2019
Bit late posting this one this year, but I’ve done one of these posts every year since we started, and it would be a crime not to do one for 2019. So here we go, with the usual caveats that a) I don’t care if you think this is a stupid post because it’s my […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE DOESN’T WANT ANY FIGGY PUDDING, THANKS

THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE ISN’T WINDING DOWN
So here we are, siblings. Crunch time. In 48 hours we will know what our immediate futures hold. Will it be shame, and regret for what we’ve just done and the dishonour we have brought on ourselves and our forebears? Or will we hold our heads high and forge proudly towards the sunset on Friday […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE DOES A SPOT OF UNBOXING
Friends, when they write the history of this time and this planet, there will be but two words seared into whatever the equivalent of The Hitchhiker’s Guide is then. Those words won’t be ‘Mostly Harmless’. They’ll be this: Unboxing. Videos. And that will tell the aliens all they need to know. This remarkable phenomenon, where […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE IS ALL ABOUT WELLNESS, PROBABLY
So it turns out that the kind of industry Update you like best is one which isn’t about the industry at all. After last week’s effort I got more reactions and messages than at any time since the very early days of the Update. Thanks to everyone that took the time to write. Maybe I […]
