Now a Sunday evening in Feb, say the 3rd for example, would mean plenty of good service and a relaxing meal with lots of time to pontificate on the rights and wrongs of the world...

Today was something else. They started not knowing how to code in September and by the end of today's third day of the bootcamp on their own steam one group had not only automated every technical indicator known to man but then spent the weekend turning it into a website that provided bespoke pdfs generated with a chart analysis of your chosen company. Another group created a chatbot that enquired as to your preferences and narrowed down your potential investment portfolio from S&P500 to a smaller group and provided investment advice on it. I've no idea how we got from 'python is a coding language. Coding is ...' absolute intro stuff to this. It's amazing!
If a few kids with a general business background (admittedly doing a finance masters now) can create this based on 24 hours of learning imagine how quickly established companies are eventually going to collapse when a whole generation of these people hit the market. Never seen anything like it.
Thinking of using the meagre teaching time next year to develop a follow-on FinTech module and see the extent to which next year's crop can turn these projects into bonafide businesses and make us all rich (5% shareholding = 60% grade, higher shareholdings for higher grades!)People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

All 12 games have ended drawn with both players at different stages blowing up when in promising positions, most noticeably Magnus in one of the early games.
There's been a lot of negative comment about Magnus and no doubt he has lost some of his swagger in recent times but IMO he's a great champion.Turning millions into thousands

Seems Ballybrack have thrown some poor fucker under the bus and have kicked him out of the club. The reason:
This grave and unacceptable mistake was completely out of character and was made by a person who has been experiencing severe personal difficulties unbeknownst to any other members of the club.”

Or could google even be told to start making coffee maybe 15 mins before whatever the morning alarm is?

If you want to do a good thing for our poker community, give Jbravado a nomination for this. The gut-wrenching pain he must have felt when losing HU for a Platinum pass in disgusting fashion must still hurt. Let's send him to the Bahamas

The Apprentice (QVC task).
SPOILERNice to see a different task for a change. and for once it actually suited the format as it didn't involve creating an airline in 36 hours or some nonsense like that. Just a range of products and sell them on a shopping channel that night. More of this would be great next year.
But really posting just to say I don't think I've ever been more wrong about a boardroom, in my head I had it (for the boot) something like 10/11 Camilla, 10/11 Khadija, 33/1 Jackie.
