It seems a bit strange but our boy, Richard doesn’t like changing his socks!
If there is a way out of it he will find it and if there is a way to do it Babuliya will find it. Two great minds at war over socks!!!

Today I dropped into an upmarket supermarket Azbuka here in Moscow. A brand new location for this famous chain but none the less they managed to fill it up with cashiers with diplomas in antibusiness majoring in organizational destruction.
As I aproached the line of shiny new cash desks I was faced with a choice of [...]
