The Top Class Wednesday Update is on the edge
Hello again, welcome to your autumn but go easy on the heating. I have a couple of announcements this week, but the main one is that the Update is now denominated in dollars and so will cost you just a little more each month, but that’s a small price to pay for growth, amirite? Almost […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update is happy to be proved wrong
Steve here, subbing in for Mark. It’s been a while. How’s it going? I’ve had a book kicking about the bedroom for months now, How to be wrong by that polarising fella off the Twitter, James O’Brien. Just never got round to starting it. Those algorithmically-driven midnight YouTube death spirals aren’t going to watch themselves […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update feels your ennui
Well, we’re in it now. 22% inflation, anyone? And the solution is…to drill more oil wells which might be operational in 25 years’ time.

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 […]
FAMR: we call bullshit
FAMR could have been huge. It could have been beautiful. It could have been the equivalent of three lines of really good crank washed down with a triple espresso for the good end of the advice profession. It could have done so much. But it didn’t. Instead, what we got was 80-something pages of prevarication, […]
FCA Guidance Consultation (GC14/3)
In an effort to avoid offending fans of any other literary greats (and quite possibly the FCA), I’ll keep to the point this time. I’ll even resist the urge to draw one last parallel between Jane Austen’s Emma (which while often considered Austen’s most accomplished work, is distinguished by the fact that nothing of note […]
