    ... except that you've just started to talk about golf on NSC.

    [Football] Oh Palace!

    It's all about forgiveness, understanding, unwillingness to gloat and there-but-but-for-the-grace-of-god-go-I-ness.

    [Football] Oh Palace!

    Leave him alone for Christ's sake. Isn't it lucky all of you are in jobs where any indiscretion isn't plastered over the gutter-press and NSC? I'm not religious but there are some apposite lessons from the bible: "You hypocrite! First, remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see...

    [NSC] Seville in March

    Was there in June (very hot). Stayed Hotel America (very central) through booking.com which was fine. Alcazar is impressive but a bit too rambling for me. Far better was the Casa De Pilatos which is smaller but very quiet and with courtyards and gardens. If, like me, you're of a certain age...

    [Misc] Draining house radiator for decorating

I removed a radiator in a December and then left an empty unheated house I was renovating intending to...

    [Film] The Big Short - a fine telling of the financial crisis story

    Unless regulators pay as much as the banks for employees that are as smart as the banks' employees and in the same numbers, then they will never be able to regulate. Far better (and what actually happened after 2008) is to make the "clever" banks not dependent on Joe Public's bank account for...
