THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE WINS EVERYTHING BY A LOT
After a monumentally rubbish eight months, the occasional shaft of sunlight pierces the clouds – a U-turn on whether it’s OK to let kids go hungry, the potential for a vaccine that works, and the really big one…genuine, laugh-out-loud comedy from the American politico-judicial process. If it wasn’t for the import taxes I’d be buying […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE IS GETTING NERVOUS ABOUT DEADx
Hello everyone. Well, the week is finally here when I stop punting our annual DeadX conference, because this is the week when we do the conference and then go for a lie down. In fact it’s tomorrow. So my mind is all full of what we’re going to be talking about at The DeadX Talks, […]
SCORES ON THE DOORS – HOW THE ADVISED PLATFORM MARKET FARED IN 2018
Well, the covers are off and we now have full year 2018 data for the advised platform market. It’s been quite a year – if it was a box set we reckon it would be series 2 of The Wire. It’s been that gripping. You’ll no doubt read lots of stuff about individual company results […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE – NOW WITH 34% LESS GLUTEN!

KILL YOUR DARLINGS WITH THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE
Can it really be Wednesday again? Yes, it can. I’m glad we’ve sorted that out. Anyway, the title of this week’s Update is a quote which has appeared in many places over the years, but most recently from Stephen King’s On Writing (the best copywriter’s textbook I’ve ever read). The quote as King has it […]
WELCOME TO THE INAUGURAL TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE
HELLO, YOU So here’s the thing. You were all nice enough to sign up to hear from the lang cat at some point over the last few years, and when we offered you the chance to stop you chose not to. And what do we do? We don’t even send you so much as a […]
The rich get richer, the poor get the picture – Nucleus does its bit
There have been few things I’ve enjoyed more since joining the lang cat than buffing up our patented Recursive Pricing Engine (with integrated Turing Guessing Module). But it’s been a little quiet on the pricing front, so when I heard that Nucleus had trimmed its charges, I positively sprinted into work[1] to get my claws […]
It’s D2C nite tonite!
Well, it’s been a busy few days in platformland. First of all there was a very interesting debate between Hugo Thorman of Ascentric/IFDL and David Ferguson of Nucleus on the importance or otherwise of owning your own technology. I was going to write a bit on that but ended up getting huffy about Active Member […]
