This one has been running since Sept ‘06 and is written by an anonymous lawyer who’s done 25 years hard labour service as a personal injuries lawyer. Geeklawyer is only sorry the job title is so deceptive, he could do with a lawyer who dishes out personal injuries (he also imagines that’s a very old joke to PI insiders - apologies).

Geeklawyer has a soft spot for PI lawyers ever since they got him 25 grand for being knocked off his bicycle. Well, OK, he helped them by providing some very bad acting for the benefit of the insurance company.

25 grand!…. we are not worthy….. excellent…. and you were on a bicycle.?

Did you model yourself (on the acting front) on Laurence Olivier in Richard III? .. “and now is the injuryclaim of our discontent, made glorious lucre by this son of kemp.”

It is time for me to go and watch ‘the verdict”. Lord Jailbird is fascinating to watch - …. I shall be reserving judgment on this until i have hacked my way through all the episodes - but, in the end, I may not bother to comment.

A bicycle, yes.

I imagine Ruthie will be around, before I hit the submit button, to spend it.

I am reminded of Olivier who in response to the Stanislavsky fan Dustin Hoffman jogging to get into his role in Marathon Man drawled to him, in a voice steeped in ennui, “Why don’t you just try acting, dear boy”.

Thanks for the heads up GL

Glad to hear you have a soft spot for my bretheren. We are a much maligned lot.

(well alright we deserve most of the stick we get but at my age - who gives a damn)
