ANOTHER TAXI IN KL — I am on my way to the airport. The circus is leaving town. In another 24 hours of lounges and airplanes I will be home. It’s been a hugely rewarding experience. I have spent the last two days locked in a room with internal communications people from Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, [...] Michael Jackson banner in Kuala Lumpur two days after his death is announced A MALAYSIA TAXI — I have been on three continents in three countries in the past 48 hours. And one thing has remained consistent: Michael Jackson. He’s everywhere you turn your ears and eyes. My cabbie’s Malay radio station flashes “Michael Jackson Tribute” [...]
OVER THE OLD OTTOMAN EMPIRE — I said years ago that the airport lounge has become the Walden Pond of my generation. It is for me anyway. It’s a place for respite, relaxation and forced reflection. (The two big British fellows putting away a bottle of white a 7h30 this morning might not agree.) I recognise [...] TCR — This sounds quite familiar to us. We’ve been through something very similar recently. And we have a few suggestions for our friends at both Anglo American and Xstrata… But first.

I’ve been reading and article this weekend about “delayed gratification”. The essence of which is found in a social [...] THE BREAKFAST TABLE AT 6AM — My young son is reading his school book aloud. To practice. I am pretending to listen. “What!?” he says suddenly. “Rescue a cat from a tree? Firemen don’t do that, do they?” I sense disappointment. “Yes,” I reply. “But only for old ladies in cartoons and movies.” “OK,” he says, as if I [...] TCR — Something quite amazing happened yesterday. Did you see it? No, it wasn’t the Blur concert. Or the Beckham’s nanny, or Tiger talking about Lefty’s wife. Yesterday the leaders of Brazil, Russia, India and China met. They were in Yekaterinburg, of course. And their statement (in English!) is here. Depending on who you ask they represent [...] A4 — Great news today that the transfer between Manchester United and Real Madrid of the North-west’s (least) favourite number 7, has made it into the UK’s M&A charts. £80 million is nothing to sneeze at, but it is an interesting comment on business in 2009 that the sale of a single player between rival clubs could [...] |
