The truth can finally be told: Ruthie is a man. Some have suspected that she is Geeklawyer’s feminine side coming out to play. Some who have ‘met’ her have not realised that they actually met a well trained highly paid but not yet well known actress, Roberta Trubshaw, who assumed the role in between playing Eliza Doolittle at King’s Lynn repertory theatre.
The truth had to emerge following the publication of an online gender tester by an Israeli university that takes a sample of text and determines gender by using a new algorithm. Plugging the text from a recent ‘Ruthie’ article produced damning evidence:
Female Score: 848
Male Score: 887
The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!
In many ways it’s a relief to come out of the closet, though apologies are offered unreservedly for my callous deception. Those of you who proposed marriage will now know why you were declined, but thanks for the diamonds anyway. And those very very many of you with whom there were “no ties dogging encounters” will understand why you had to wear a bag over your head: it wasn’t just because you were so hugely ugly.
It will be some time before I can compete with this ‘fantastic’ post.
respect….
Why do I keep hearing the od Bowie ‘classic’… “Ground control to Major Tom’… when I come on to this excellent blog. ?
Geeklawyer… Was it the Puligny Montrachet?… or have you cashed in all your Majestic vouchers in one go? … I had no idea that you were interested in ‘dogging’… chien a son gout… as they say in Putney…
Have you found that ‘dogging’ has improved your ‘footprint’ in the legal world? As you know, members of the Bar do not enjoy the same freedom - in terms of marketing - which is enjoyed in the other side of the profession. .. and… having consulted the regulations… I can see no regulations which prohibit or restrict “no ties dogging encountersâ€
I commend your marketing technique…
Cough Cough
The smokey world of advertising is too great for me on this page.

Marketing is dear to my heart CharonQC I am not so rich as I deserve to be. Sightly more near the knuckle methods are thus critical. This does meet with the approval of corporate Blawg who clearly dislikes the vulgar advertising here. I can understand this aversion to prostituting our calling: but Geeklawyer so very badly wants a Bentley Continental GT.

Fair comment.
Corporate Blawg wants a Jaguar C-Type, and his whiff wants an Aston Martin DBS.
Ruthie aspires to a Bristol. Far more classy
If Ruthie writes like a man it is hardly surprising: in three years of doing regulatory crime she has - not once - had a female advocate as an opponent in court.
Ruthie thinks there are two reasons for this: companies tend to employ senior lawyers which statistically are still predominantly men (and Ruthie fears this stat will remain fixed for some time despite the majority of people entering the profession now being women). Secondly regulatory crime tends to be the better paid end of criminal work, so men compete more aggressively to do the work.
So given that I spend my whole day talking and writing to men, its hardly surprising that I’m starting to sound like one.
I worry about the regularity that Geeklawyer mentions dogging. Secret fetish eh? I’ll be looking out for his motorbike at laybys and on the edge of commons…
You don’t need to go to that much trouble to find good sites Ruthie, I’ll just email you a URL of the best locations. Much easier for you than following me around.
Perhaps you can take your Judge friend with you?
Dahhling…why would I want to bare my bits in some drafty layby instead of a posh hotel?
Because you’re a bit common?
Happy New Year Geeklawyer and Ruthie….
And we interrupt our bickering to say “Happy New Year Charon”..
Indeed Happy New Year to all our readers.
