Its the foundation stone of commerce. Pay as little as you can for something, sell it for as much as possible. Nothing new there. And its not just physical objects that you can buy and sell, since the ‘Big Bang’ changed trading of stocks and shares, futures, options and all kinds of bizarre ‘derivatives’ to – Read More-
There’s all this fuss and excitement made about the Champions League. Players move clubs just to play in it, clubs ransom their fortunes to appear in it, owners want to win it beyond any other prize. Though most can afford all the other prizes currently available to billionaires. And although you can’t buy that esteemed – Read More-
Since the internet came along (that computer thing where you buy stuff, get free porn and learn lots of interesting things) the world has changed. That’s not news to anyone. You can google it and see for yourself. But I always saw such changes as a way to provide minor enhancement to our lives, rather – Read More-

The Chinese are in uproar. They are disgusted by the disgraceful behaviour of Lewis Hamilton, Formula One’s favourite dwarf and on-off, on-off, on-off, on-off… on-off boyfriend of Nicole Scherzinger. They accuse him of ‘sexist bullying’ after winning the race on Sunday in… well, somewhere in China, obviously. After the race, on the podium, the winning – Read More-
