Taught Management, but would prefer to support subversion. Suspect that in my specialism, judgment is more important than knowledge. Think that ‘maybe’ is the most wonderful word in the English language.

Hmmm 🤔 sums up the complexities of the situation nicely!

#Crystalpalace Yet again, wretched Liverpool wait until the last week to come for one of our key players…. You’d almost think it’s deliberate! 😠

There were some surprising results this weekend, I wonder if there is any correlation between 1st weekend results and numbers of players in latter stages of World Cup? #crystalpalace

@pritchardsbookshop.bsky.social do you think we could get enough interested people to come to an event with Jonn? Maybe get Frank Cottrell-Boyce to interview him? I really enjoyed his last book on borders and I think his writing would fit with Crosby tastes.

Here’s a left field suggestion @norcrosscricket.bsky.social What about Rory Burns as an interim England captain? OK, not in great form with the bat this year, but he is a mature, tactically astute captain who could help the England team catch its breath and work out where next.

What is Smith doing allowing Archer & Tongue keep the bowling from last ball signals? Shouldn’t he be taking more responsibility?

Getting increasingly worried about Surrey’s bowling attack. We just don’t seem to be able to bowl opponents out. ☹️ @norcrosscricket.bsky.social please give me/us some reasons to hope

Stop teaching management! A syllabus for those wanting to help organisations: Learn how: - to develop coherence, whilst giving space for diversity - to persuade whilst remaining persuadable - to be generously subversive - to be tentatively assertive these paradoxical practices will help 😊

Is there some rule against Palace passing to their own players? 🙄 #Crystal Palace

Dear @gilesyb.bsky.social I’m puzzled by this chart. 1) Isn’t US inflation at about 2.4% 2) the chart seems to show an immediate change in inflation following tariffs, isn’t this surprisingly quick? 3) doesn’t the scale of the graph exaggerate the difference in projected & actual inflation?

Palace 50 mins, 17 times in Leeds’ penalty area and NOT ONE shot on target. Well now show how that’s done against 10 players in the second half 😡

I don’t know why but I have become quite scared of making phone calls. I used to be in sales, for goodness sakes! Anyway today I finally got round to phone so as to make appointments with Doctors- staff today for training Opticians- no one answered Dentist - don’t do NHS anymore Sigh 😞

I wonder if part of the BBC’s problem is that over recent years, TV news has shifted emphasis from covering events to predicting futures?

Really enjoyed reading #RedShore by @william1shaw.bsky.social a hint on the cover that this might be the start of a great new series My only concern is that being a DS in a William Shaw book is not a great career move, they don’t seem to get promoted! 🤣

We live in an age where the truth, the real or the good are more tricky to define than past ages hoped. Four hints might be helpful: We need to be Coherently diverse Persuadably political Generously subversive Tentatively assertive

So, @stevecornforth.bsky.social what’s it gonna be? I reckon a 1-1 draw, my pessimism notes that we never do as well against you Toffees as we should, and everyone says your forwards can’t score so I’ll go for 3-0 Everton 🫣😞

‘A perfectly calibrated Swiss watch of cringe’: why Fawlty Towers remains the greatest ever sitcom, 50 years on
It’s the 50th anniversary of the comedy that’s so foundational for TV as a medium, it’s the Beatles for the small screen. Five decades later, John Cleese and Connie Booth’s show is still unmatched

@mattwoosie.bsky.social @fiveyearplan.bsky.social Oh dear, we’re going to lose to a Manchester club in the final again 😞 Given that it’s the hope that kills, I’m just getting some pessimistic gloom practice in early! After all, it worked against Villa! Ahhhh rats! There’s that bit of hope again 😠

Caroline Ramsey @caroline-too.bsky.social · 26/04/2025
Well @davidallengreen.bsky.social from a Palace perspective, I’m trying SO hard not to be hopeful. It’s the hope that kills, and Palace always play better when I’m pessimistic 🙄🫣 And we do this for fun!! Crazy people!

Hampshire are teaching Surrey how they should have played that final innings against Somerset last season. Careful progress, never loosing touch with the required scoring rate They’ll be able to assess the risk of making a dart for the target after tea #surreycricket

As Trump is anticipated to put tariffs on semiconductors, I’m left wondering if any of his team have read @edconway.bsky.social ‘s “Material World” for guidance as to the folly of such an act? Mind you, experience of the Trump team means that I don’t need to wonder for long 🙄

I usually learn from @davidallengreen.bsky.social but I’m not sure I agree with his dislike of ‘agile’ organisations. The problems in achieving flexibility (or agility) lie elsewhere a) in our seeking solutions to relational problems in structural answers and b) prioritising policies over practices

Caroline Ramsey @caroline-too.bsky.social · 06/03/2025
Hmm @davidallengreen.bsky.social I note your concern about anecdotes as data, but stories are completely empirical material (data are a bit of an epistemological problem), lived experience is ‘data’ huge amounts of research using narrative from 80s onwards

So agree with Julien, and I’d add that European govts, over the last 15yrs, have much to answer for. Since Obama, it has been clear that the USA’s focus has been turning to the Orient, and our govts have done almost nothing to develop independent armament.
