Hope to post something on branding and Charles Joguet today or tomorrow.Jim's Loirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06696024920441263899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456611623448834500.post-57766979098083841202010-01-09T09:48:57.715+00:002010-01-09T09:48:57.715+00:00like the phrase about the guru, but even better I ...like the phrase about the guru, but even better I think, is this one: "you don't need an oenologist to explain you why you like a wine, like you don't need a gynaecologist to make love."<br />I, too, have problems with J. Nossiter's philosophy. There seem to be a kind of troskysm in him, a taste for provocation and even agit-prop. But on the whole, I guess it is useful. He has talent, I may not always agree with him, he even irritates me at times, but a brain is better irritated than idle. Like we say in France: 'il gratte là où ça fait mal". So I'd love to see your further comments, Jim.<br /><br />HervéAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456611623448834500.post-86723478939550972392010-01-09T09:47:32.157+00:002010-01-09T09:47:32.157+00:00I like the phrase about the guru, but even better ...I like the phrase about the guru, but even better I think, is this one: "you don't need an oenologist to explain you why you like a wine, like you don't need a gynaecologist to make love."<br />I, too, have problems with J.
