"The funniest book of the year" Are you sick of a society that seems obsessed with children? Do you find modern parents insufferable? Your Children Are Boring is a uniquely humorous look at our culture''s obsession with children, a world where virtually every advert has a squawking child in it, where pubs are full of wailing infants, and where every other Facebook post is tagged #ProudDad. Why do parents themselves behave like infants? Why having a child doesn''t make you less selfish, why it''s extremely unlikely that your child is in fact, ''special'', and why modern parenting is ruining everything, not least the kids themselves. All the answers lie within, and it''s your duty to read it. Yes, Your Children Are Boring will make you laugh, but it''s much more than that. Once consumed you must take its teachings into the world and fix society. Or something. Oh and if you put ''Dad'' or ''Mum'' in your social media bios, this book is aimed at you. An excerpt from Your Children Are Boring: "There are more radical solutions available to us of course. I take my lead from the way we''ve societally turned smokers into pariahs at pubs. Let''s create family areas in the pubs! Imagine, roped off areas out the back, covered in sick, where the tables are made of plastic rather than wood, soundproofed so we don''t have to listen to you loudly slow-talking, or the baby crying. Or you could just go to McDonalds, which is where the kids want to be anyway. And that''s another thing; does anyone think these kids want to go to a pub? They''re not renowned for their rides and pits of plastic balls. But perhaps that''s just a matter of time. We''ll inevitably infantilise getting smashed like we seem intent on doing to everything else. You want it all don''t you, your spoilt little brain thinks, ''I''ve had a child, but that doesn''t mean I should modify my life. I still want pub, so baby come to pub!'' Kids should be, and probably are, bored out of their tiny minds at pubs. It''s where grown-ups go to bitch about their friends'' new kitchen or boyfriend / girlfriend, not a playground, that''s why they''re full of glass, fruit machines and sharp edges. If we can be a little melodramatic though, you''re a virus. You''re ruining pubs like you ruined football and the cinema, colonising it like the most boring invading army in history armed with iPhones and Kleenex."

In 2001 I created a basic visual approach to communicate at a high level the interlinked nature of various corporate entity risk factors in a firm and to highlight to the board of directors and managers of firms that any corporate risk management approach needs to be a holistic one taking in to account a variety of financial and operational risks. This book builds and expands on this approach and helps managers understand the law of risk, "risk in a company cannot be destroyed it can only be transferred from one form of risk in to another" and gives practical guidance on transferring unwanted business risks in to more manageable and more transparent risks that can be valued and monitored and effectively controlled or accepted by the business and it''s shareholders. The risk matrix covers: Price risk Credit risk Liquidity risk Cash-flow risk Basis risk Legal risk Tax risk Operational risk This book builds on a proven approach I have used to help and communicate risk effectively in energy and commodity companies, but this book will be for any corporate manager so for a much wider audience than just energy and commodity firms. it will be for ANY firm that is trying to understand risk, build a risk culture, and assess and manage risk effectively using best practice approaches. History gives us many examples of business failures Where companies even producers of valuable commodities such as oil producers and consumers such as Shipping companies and airlines have gone bankrupt or incurred losses as a result of using correct approaches to managing their price risk exposure to oil and commodity prices using financial derivatives but failed to look at corporate risk in a holistic manner and to evaluate and manage other risks covered by the risk matrix.
