Draw your own conclusion China will win

2009-11-16T16:55:04Z

Recently there has been a lot to get worried about. Since the great crash of 2008 - which it will certainly be called - or stockgate perhaps? We have all tightened our belts and reigned in spending. As you may know I predicted some of this in 200...

Women, know your place!!

There are many things that make my blood boil. Bankers - as you know - ignorance - misuse of the hypen - sms spelling - twigs in my shoe - close exposure to flames, that kind of thing, but today has brought a new source of ire to this poor corre...

What do we want?

2009-10-14T11:56:55Z

What do we want and when do we want it? Everything. Now. At least it seems that way. Trouble is, you can't have anything. Ever anymore. You may have noticed that the past few posts have been sporadic and a bit tetchy. For good reason, let me sa...

All Bankers have an STD

2009-10-07T18:56:24Z

Let's play a game. Replace one letter of the word Banker with another and reveal their true identity. That's right. You got it. Replace the B with a W and you have the measure of the people we are talking about. I know I know, I sound like a bro...

Who are you?

2009-09-02T08:11:24Z

Every bone in my body aches right now. 25 hours driving a minibus across Europe from the Belgian Grand Prix will do that to you I suppose. It has been an interesting week. Mostly because I have learned a bit more about how people think and act w...

2009-08-20T18:53:48Z

So my chums, this is what I have been doing all these months. Setting up the Legends of Formula 1 Festival at Silverstone next week. It has taken a year to get the licences and acts in place and longer than that to funds it all and I haven't bore...
