An idiosyncratic stroll through matters of law, management, philosophy, language, technology, cricket and high finance — and nothing really penetrating to say despite taking 4,619 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and like-minded master trading agreements organised into evolving anatomy and nutshell guides which may be incomplete, out of date, out of touch, flippant — well, they are flippant — or total rubbish;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.

So you wanna...

Get in touch? Ping us here | Complain? Who can blame you? Open your window and have a good old shout. | Leave a tip? Then give it to Georgia’s Fund - hey: if you buy the book the fund gets the money and you get a free present!


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.)
