Latest news
So you wanna...

An idiosyncratic stroll through matters of law, philosophy, language, technology, cricket and high finance — and nothing really penetrating to say despite taking 4,498 articles at last count — yes, you read that right — to say it.
Here you will find:
- Book reviews culled from twenty indolent years sounding off on Amazon;
- Obstinate views of ISDA and like-minded master trading agreements organised into evolving anatomy and nutshell guides which may be incomplete, out of date, out of touch, flippant — well, they are flippant — or total rubbish;
- Much ado about plain English, buzzwords, flannel, Latin, Greek, metaphor and eggs.
To browse, use the bar on the left. To search, use the box top right.
Like The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, this site has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate. Enter at your peril. (Yes, that's a disclaimer — lest the sky should fall in on my head, or yours.)
