Tonight we get to see the wonderful I Am Kloot for the third time this year (hopefully for longer than their trunkated Festival No 6 slot). Tickets are still available. You may take a different view, but I prefer this live, bare bones version to the full, Elbow produced album track with its star-studded video
We have just had the result of our only oral costs hearing since 2005. It is a thoroughly fair and very satisfying result. At the heart of our case were a set of arguments we have rerun in a number of appeals. This is the first time we have had the opportunity to discuss them […]
Once again I am walled in by files including a Peer Review appeal and one of the weirdest set of instructions I’ve ever received – and about which I cannot elaborate. Equally strangely last week involved more client questions about the former than I have received in a long time, though I think I am […]
I have only just bought the album of which this is the title track. It is one of those rare records which leaves you with goose pimples. I previously had only encountered Midlake as the musicians on John Grants first solo album this too is quite stunning

I am putting the touches to my presentation for the CLSA Conference at the weekend. I have tried to do this well in advance and in a measured manner and am unhappy with the result. These things are always best done in a hurry, last minute, it seems. I am now wondering if it is […]
Even a long weekend results in a post-holiday pile of urgent messages these days it seems. All of which has kept me from my planned main task of the day – Saturday’s LCSA presentation. What an Icelandic tapas selection they prove to be – that seems to be their version of a smorgasbord. The phone, […]
Tomorrow I am taking Mrs SP to Iceland for her birthday – the place not where Mums shop at Xmas. Unfortunately the aurora forecast is “Low”. We will have to console ourselves with lunch and the rugby in the company of Bjork. We are off for tea with John Grant and Of Monsters and Men. […]
I had a little accident which makes it difficult to type right now. I am also away tomorrow and Monday so things might be quiet here. I you want to ask something ringing is going to be loads easier than e-mail.
