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bar on the left) to [[ISDA Master Agreement|ISDA]] and other [[master trading agreement]]s. These may be incomplete, out of date, out of touch, flippant — well, they ''are'' flippant —  but will still be better value and more entertaining than that awful [[FT book about derivatives]]; 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}}===
'''We’ve gone CSA bonkers in January!''': Brand new anatomies of the {{vmcsa}} and the {{nyvmcsa}} - you can’t ask for fairer than that! <br>
'''[[Dangerboy]]''', the [[JC]]’s [[Legal Council|inhouse band]], has released a record! [https://soundcloud.com/thedangerboy/sets Here it is].
'''[[Nosferatu]] and the [[undead ISDA]]''': Dan Brown fans, form an orderly queue. <br>
'''[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>
'''[[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><br>
