In a shallow effort to make myself seem more intelligent than I actually am I recently purchased a copy of ‘Geary’s Guide to the World’s Great Aphorists‘, a collection of quotes from some of history’s great minds. My plan is to learn some and utter them sagely from time to time while looking thoughtful. Foolproof. Anyway, it turns out that there is a quote for just about anything. So this week’s news is wrapped around some of them, because as playwright and author Dorothy Sayers (new to me) once said “a facility for quotation covers the absence of original thought”.
Enjoy the news, and have a great weekend.

Each week after sending Have I Got Social Enterprise News For You my colleague Antonia replies giving me a score out of ten. I’m not really sure why, it’s just a tradition that we seem to have fallen into. She definitely has a future as some sort of critic though, or perhaps a school teacher. It also lends a certain frisson of excitement to a Friday morning, which is good.
Hasn’t that felt like a long week? I’m pretty confident that the first week of January has extra days in it, it’s the only rational explanation for why it feels like Christmas took place about six months ago.
