Another roundtable on the Oxera report, another hour-and-half of bald men talking about audit competition and saying the same things they said six months ago.

And so it proved to be at the Houses of Parliament last week, where TS snoozed through seemingly endless speeches regurgitating the findings of said Oxera report.

If only the members bar was open to the public, TS thought, as it sought to make the time go faster. Well done to Grant Thornton's Steve Maslin, though, who brightened the session up with a trendy spike haircut that would have been the pride of the Chelsea FC team photo. Congratulations Steve. TS salutes you.

Unfortunately Steve doesn't have his spikey hair in this shot (above), but as a GT spokesman said to TS: 'We don't update our corporate shots every time someone changes their hairstyle.'
