The Top Class Wednesday Update is colder than a welldigger’s…
The tail end of last year wasn’t all that and a bag of chips, based on a couple of key platform results we’ve already had in. Is the cost of living crisis starting to bite?
The Top Class Wednesday Update will look after you
Hello hello, me again after a week’s break from Updating at a keyboard in favour of Updating anyone who cared to drop by at HomeGame 2 last week. Thanks to everyone who came along – just under 170 in the room and nearly 300 online – and I hope you had a nice time. I […]
The Top Class Wednesday Update never runs out of gas
So, so many gas jokes you could make this week – do you go down the industry being full of hot air route, the Mark-Locke-with-a-hangover-after-the-Platform-Awards route, the wasn’t-me-it-was-the-dog route, or simply repeat Marina Hyde’s gag of this morning that if you want a really solid investment you should pop out and buy a Calor Gas […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE IS 35 YARDS OUT
So there you are, not much to do really, edging forward towards the centre circle to see if you can get in shot and improve the value of your image rights, when all of a sudden bad things happen, you’re all tangled up in the net and you’re the subject of remorseless memes like this […]
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 DOESN’T KNOW WHERE TO START
I don’t mind telling you, siblings, that keeping a topical, weekly, newsy Update going through a pandemic where there is next to nothing exciting to write about can be a schlep at times. With what tattered shreds of self-respect I have left gathered magnificently around me, I flat refuse to spend any time working on […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE SAYS BOO TO TABOOS
Well hello again, and I hope you are finding the bright side in a week where everything moved at warp speed from decidedly suboptimal to post-apocalyptic. If you’re finding that hard to do then you’re not alone, and we have some stuff for you. This is another one of those Updates which isn’t to do […]
THE TOP CLASS WEDNESDAY UPDATE SEES BOTH SIDES
Back again, just as many of you head off on your half term hols. I spent a chunk of mine in Whitby, which is an excellent place. In just three days I experienced 75mph winds, fish and chips at the Magpie (twice) and an unplanned visit to a steampunk festival. You can’t get much more […]
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 […]
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 […]
