THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE ALWAYS STATES ITS VALUE
It is a truth universally acknowledged that I know absolutely hee-haw about football. Not only don’t I know anything about it, such is my fear of hypermasculine conversations about it that I’ve been known to offer to go to the bar when the subject comes up. Which is odd, as the game I really follow […]

THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE SAYS IT’S A DEAL, IT’S A STEAL
You know that bit in Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels where Dog’s crew are ripping off Snow White and the Three Little Chemists, and they’re defending themselves with an air rifle and as the second guy in the crew gets shot with the air rifle, Dog says “I don’t believe it. Can everyone stop […]

HMRC take HL to the (super)cleaners
Summer holidays are always a good time to bury good news, and as I glanced at my iphone from my hotel pool lounger the other week this piece caught my attention. I was on all-inclusive mind, so I quickly went back to another mojito, but now we (me) are all back at work, it’s certainly […]

SECCL TAKES UP RESIDENCE IN OCTOPUS’S GARDEN; SHADE STATUS UNCLEAR
A few quick thoughts on the announcement from Octopus today that it will acquire Seccl for £10m subject to regulatory approval. Normally I’d do these in the Wednesday Update, but it’s Thursday today and it’s only just been announced. Why are people so inconsiderate? Anyway, Seccl is a really interesting business, run by Hugo Thorman […]

THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE SAYS ONE WEEK TILL THE KIDS GO BACK TO SCHOOL
Oneweektilthekidsgobacktoschool Oneweektilthekidsgobacktoschool Oneweektilthekidsgobacktoschool Oneweektilthekidsgobacktoschool Not that it’s been a long summer or anything. Actually, it hasn’t. Time was that the financial industry would pack up and stop doing interesting things with all the enthusiasm of MPs heading off for a nice break with only about 10 weeks to go until the biggest constitutional shift in […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE HAS GOT ALL THE NUMBERS WITH IT
Ah, Edinburgh in August. A heady mix of rain, street theatre artists, rain, a million tourists wandering aimlessly ON THE ROAD WHERE I AM GOING, rain, fifty thousand Tristrams and Jacintas proving how alternative they are by dying their hair blue and getting mandala tattoos, and rain. It’s no wonder this is the biggest arts […]
