Bambi Forget the Oscars, forget the NME awards, there was only one event for the bold and the beautiful to be seen at this week: the Euromoney Investor Bond Conference.

Fix Dinkum It’s not all bonuses and champagne in the City, you know. Apparently some of our bankers are battling vermin in their flats. Deutsche Bank’s David Bourne (no relation to Jason) is a veritable pied piper.

Bambi: Will somebody please take a minute to think about the real victims of the credit crunch and all the redundancies in the City? I’m talking, of course, not about the bankers but about their suffering girlfriends. Or their prospective girlfriends.

Bond Bitch We were devastated to hear of James “Buns of Steel” Garvey’s departure from Goldman Sachs. That’s right — the man whose rock-hard gluteus maximii have graced the pages of this blog since the very beginning — will no more feature in the Euroblog. But while he’s giving up banking, we understand James is staying true to lycra hot pants and will continue his love of cycling.
