Main Page

An idiosyncratic stroll through matters of law, philosophy, language, technology, cricket and high finance — and nothing really penetrating to say despite taking 4,499 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 and their paraphernalia, organised into evolving anatomy and nutshell guides. These may be out of date, incomplete, flippant — well, they are flippant — or utter rubbish and they may not be there when you most need them. Just so you know;
• Much ado about plain English, buzzwords, flannel, Latin, Greek, metaphor (a literary device sadly overlooked in legal documentation) and eggs.
