That would explain why I can't add Geeklawyer to the fine collection of blogs in my RSS reader. Our firewall also seems to be stopping me from listening to the "podcast", so deprived of that too...

Though I have to admit, I did miss the background music that usually accompanies Geeklawyer's podcasts. Dare I say it? I enjoy these podcasts? Not sure if the conference should occur in a top-class set of chambers. Mayhaps a lovely patio someplace? Where young waitstaff can serve us our bacardi breezers, rioja, and some lovely nibblies.

You are right to chide me for mispronunciation but I had a master who berated us severely if we used a hard 'k' even though he was wrong and was told as much by other masters. Alas such tortious behaviour so young cannot be remedied now. An anger management session is an abomination: every man is due one splenic eruption a week.

I'll rectify this as soon as possible (stop sneering Ruthie). You are quite right… Ruthie is a much better singer than I: she has had training and has sung in several choirs. In my defence I would say however that I was labouring under the disadvantage of a fractured finger. Neither would I admit as much to her she has an insufferably large ego already. thomas: I’m aware of the need for an RSS feed to make the files into ‘proper’ podcasts: we used to have an rss feed but when I upgraded the Wordpress software I lost the hack that I put in the page to generate the feed (doh!)

I have just written a peroration on my own blog. I am on a laptop with very small keys (a G4) and, it may be, that my typing is not of the highest standard. I liked your podcast.. I particularly liked the way Geeklawyer pronounced my name (It is a hard 'Ch'... like a 'k'... OK... the greeks may not have pronounced it that way... but I can pronounce my own name as I please...and I do... Brilliant podcast... loved the singing... I am inspired. I want to root out pompousity in blogs... I rarely get angry... but... on the Legal Week blog (the subject of my peroration) a potential member of the Bar asked a perfectly sensible question.... I may have been too harsh in my response? I have a feeling Muttley Dastardly LLP may be employing the type of person who was the subject of my peroration... but... I think Matt might feel that the firm was already replete with comedians... after all... you should see the billables in litigation at MD.. not brilliant. Perhaps I am getting too old?... perhaps the rioja was of a higher quality?... but...one responder managed to annoy me - and I rarely become 'exercised' by posts on blogs. Perhaps you could include an 'anger management' section in your proposed blogger conference... I do hope you manage it before I pass to the great blog bar in the sky.. Geeklawyer / Ruthie
