Today’s Business URL

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Awards are given out yearly for the best movies, plays, TV shows, radio shows, and the like. Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times gives out awards for interesting uses of business English. I think that the business use of “upgrade” to mean “make redundant” should win some Grand Award for Business Bullshit.

  • 08:36 @soveren i think your tweet got lost last night in the crush. we stay home on NYE to avoid the drunks. we can hear the fireworks from home.. #
  • 08:36 @soveren and we watch them on TV, so get the best of both worlds. Hope your NYE was nice. #
  • 17:05 back from a walk across Tower Bridge to Brick Lane for black bread, then back towards home. 2 hours of walking must be good for me, right? #
  • 20:32 still ripping CDS into iTunes/iPod. Now have about 230 albums…probably another 150 more to go. #
  • 00:02 @jallen285 : As Mother Superior said, I like my coffee like I like my men: strong, hot, and black. #
  • 00:03 ok, tweeters, time for bed. Extreme Forensics was pretty gruesome tonight… #

Happy New Year’s to all

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

We woke up remarkably well, although I had trouble sleeping. I refuse to think that one pint of perry and a thimbleful of madeira would disturb my sleep that much.

We’re off to the Thai restaurant at Kilburn later on (hope it’s open) and then perhaps a walk through Hampstead Heath to finish. More chicken stew for dinner tonight.

USans are probably inundated with American football today. New Year’s Day is very quiet in the UK. Other than being cold and grey, it’s just a normal Bank Holiday. The country won’t really rebound from the Christmas/New Year’s break until Monday next, when we will plunge yet again into what commerce is left to us.
