Have you read Malcom Gladwell's Tipping Point or Blink?

I read them and found them interesting, then I saw this:

Anyone interested in coming along, Mon 24 Nov 2008 evening, about ?20?


And has anyone seen the big haired fella speaking before? Is he any good?

They're of the "social observations" genre, an interesting read about stuff that happens with people and society, a bit like Freakanomics. I picked up Tipping Point at the airport and liked it so I bought the other one later, to be honest didn't realise there is/was a fuss about them. If you like non-fiction, people watching and are curious about how and why some things happen in the world and society you will probably like these. It won't change your life but some parts might make you stroke your chin, look skywards and say hmmmmm.


Let me know if that appeals and you want to borrow them.

    • Politics is a nasty business and very vindictive at times - especially when internal party politics are concerned. Perhaps this is revenge for the leadership challenge and was being served cold. I do hope Cllr McAsh has understanding employers and can get his job back if that part of the story is true.
    • The Leader of the Council gets a larger Special Responsibility Allowance than plain Cabinet members: £58,427 in 2023-24, rather than somewhere in the £30k+ range.  See https://www.southwark.gov.uk/about-council/councillors-and-mps/councillors/allowances, which includes links to full tables of payments made to all councillors for the past seven years.  There's a list of Cabinet members at https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/mgCommitteeMailingList.aspx?ID=302
    • The list of projects on the Railway Gazette link talks about “Peckham Rye congestion relief “ being delayed; is this the same as the redevelopment of the square in front?  Or is it internal changes to the station? Is there separate funding for the two or is it all one project?
    • This doesn't sound to promising Peckham Rye station upgrade sees funding axed by government - Murky Depths and Mixed news for rail as government backs transport infrastucture projects | Rail Business UK | Railway Gazette International Sounds like the project has been delayed / postponed.
