On the Podcast:
Random weird stuff sent to Geeklawyer by the Bar Council.
These podcasts - reactions - Geeklawyer’s views.
Geeklawyer drunk!? surely not. Mead - the procurement and consumption thereof.
The Freedom of information Act: being an opinion of governmental perfidiousness thereto.
The wickedness of Ruthie.
Listen - enjoy - comment
Hurrah. Just got in from necking tolerable wine after acquiring a much-needed hour’s CPD by listening to the former First Parliamentary Counsel who drafted the HUman Rights Act (which I also consider one of the few positive achievements of this government) actually, more interesting than most such hours to be fair (though he was mostly talking about working on the team that drafted the European Communities Act in 1971-2). As I say, much reasonable booze at the IALS after. Wherefore I may possibly have trod on Arden LJ’s foot, but I’m sure she deserved it: she asked an utterly incomprehensible question that went on for about five minutes.
Anyway, I think rough, ready, and slightly drink-blurred podcasts are the way they should be.
Oh, and I was also mildly surprised to receive the same magazine. Haven’t gone so far as to open it yet.
I’m not a member of the IALS. Must join, they have a good library so I hear - I recall they are a bit expensive to join so, being a bit tight-arsed, I’ve not bothered.
Jolly good: rough and ready podcasts I do well. Thanks for the opinion.
BTW, a good option for relieving the pain of CPD’s is Charons online CPD courses which are very good (search the blog for details).
It is 6.45 in the morning. I have been up since 2.00 editing our online journals and wondering whether I shall ever find sleep again on a regular bais. So… to be able to listen to your latest podcast, sober, was a pleasure.
I do think that music will assist… but this, of course, will depend on the music chosen.
Freedom of Information ? Thin end of the wedge… they will cut back… pity. Indie carries a story on this today: http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/legal/article1879410.ece
I will do my best to assist with your Google ads - but, I do also think that you do not, yet, deserve freedom from Ruthie!
Mead sounds good. haven’t had mead for years… might have to buy some and do a podcast or two myself!
Good stuff - made a change from the Today programme.
Hmm. Bit rambly. Maybe you should use some of your wonderful Mac stuff to perform some judicious editing. Now if you were a professional advocate like myself…
Like the Freedom of Information stuff though.
Readers: I do not not hit Geeklawyer. Well only with a stick that is not thicker than my finger and without drawing blood. Therefore it doesn’t count.
. Now if you were a professional advocate like myself…
I would be unemployable & looking for a job in a call centre.
I am sure I saw you in that call centre… I was sitting in the next booth…sure it was you? I was telling people about their endowment policies and making it really difficult for them to understand what an endowment policy was. You were telling some poor City trader that his current account was £30,200 overdrawn… and that he had signed a credit card bill at a restaurant for 72,000 Euros while he was a pole dancing club in Munich - just for the hell of it. Could be mistaken…
