A moderately diverting piece about randomness and luck from the beeb. It makes you wonder why you bother in life, doesn’t it? But then apparently lucky people make their own luck, so keep at it, compadres.

I’ve had the pleasure of reading a competitor’s financial due diligence report today, which contains the following gems in amongst numerous typos and split infinitives:

• “corporate business generally relates to companies”
• “the company reduced prices to counter declining sales. Unfortunately, this had the effect of increasing sales”

I suddenly realise how painful it must be to be a client of someone like me.

Next time you have a hangover, don’t take any crap from your colleagues, attribute your less-than-stellar performance to ‘brain fog’ brought on by gluten intolerance. You needn’t tell them that the gluten was in fact in the pitta of your 3am kebab.

Our friends at Google are really getting into the habit of banning stuff. This time it’s essay writing websites, although the ban hasn’t quite started yet, it seems. I'm sure that there's far more unsavoury stuff to be banned from Google searches (especially with Moderate SafeSearch switched off) ahead of a bit of innocent exam cheating...

I wonder if there’s a gap in the market for a financial due diligence report writing website? Hmmm.
