A stroll through the brambles of [[law]], [[crap jobs|management]], [[philosophy]], [[language]], [[technology]], [[cricket]] and [[high finance]]. Like a good alluvial fan, everything is silting up nicely and there are now {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles in this wiki.

==={{Helvetica|What’s in here}}===
'''[[Anatomy|Anatomies]]''': Clause-by-clause [[Anatomy]] and [[nutshell]] guides (hit the bar on the left) to [[ISDA Master Agreement|ISDA]] and other [[master trading agreement]]s. These may be incomplete, out of date, out of touch, flippant — well, they ''are'' flippant —  but will still be better value and more entertaining than that awful [[FT book about derivatives]]; <br>
'''[[:category:book review|Book reviews]]''' culled from twenty indolent years sounding off on Amazon; <br>
'''Much flippancy''' about [[plain English]], [[buzzword]]s, [[technology]], [[negotiation]], [[flannel]], [[Latin]], [[Greeks|Greek]], [[metaphor]] and [[:category:Egg|egg]]s. <br>
A new section on the [[Wage and price freeze|odd political situation]] in [[New Zealand]] in 1982. (Why? — long story, really.)
 
==={{Helvetica|What’s new}}===
'''[https://jollycontrarian.com/wordpress/ The Jolly Contrarian Blog]''': A tentative dip into the tepid waters of audience engagement. Newsletters. Surveys. That kind of thing.
'''The [[seven wastes of negotiation]]''': Imagine your [[ISDA]] was a [[Toyota Corolla]], and it all starts making sense. <br>
'''Sticking a {{gmslaprov|Cross Default}} in the [[GMSLA]]''': Good idea, right? Or — yeah, not so much.<br>
'''[[Confi Anatomy]]''': It may be the most pointless contract you'll ever negotiate, but doesn’t mean it can’t get tasty. Having an [[NDA]] smackdown? We've [[Confi Anatomy|got you covered]].<br>
'''New {{anatomy}} guides''': [[Pledge GMSLA Anatomy‎|Pledge GMSLA]]  |  [[Negotiation anatomy|Negotiation]]  |  [[Conference call anatomy|Conference calls]] <br><br>

==={{Helvetica|So you wanna...}}===
'''{{Helvetica|Get in touch?}}''' Ping us [mailto:enquiries@jollycontrarian.com here]  |  '''{{Helvetica|Complain?}}''' Who can blame you? Open your window and have a good old shout.  |  '''{{Helvetica|Leave a tip?}}'''  Make my day and give it to [[Georgia’s Fund]] — you can get yourself a free gift at the same time if you snag yourself a copy of [[Hunter Barkley]]’s racey novel '''''[https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B078LMG24Q The Montenegro Sanction]'''''? All proceeds go to [[Georgia’s Fund]].<br>
