Quite why my flag thingy is showing the UK is bit unclear to me. Hmmph. Ruthie does keep telling me to grow up, but I generally ignore her. My portable hole is in Austria.

Your dinky flag thingy looks like a Union Jack, not well known for its skiing resorts. When did you get stuck in this "portable hole", or are you looking to grow up so people don't call you shortarse? Is your portable hole still in the UK?

When did you get stuck in this “portable hole”, or are you looking to grow up so people don’t call you shortarse?

No stars are needed: the word 'fuck' is acceptable. And I am not a shortarse: I am standing in a portable hole. I will permit swearing on the blog. No stars are needed: the word ‘fuck’ is acceptable.

Go and stick some skis on and do some skiing for f**** sake. Dear Shortarse, you must be the only person in the comos who rings me more when they are supposedly on holiday than when they are at home.

However as with most things it is a matter of inspiration v perspiration: respectively 1% & 99%. I may very well say: "oooh, nuclear fusion reactors. That'd be nice.", doing it would, however, involve at least a mornings work by Geeklawyer. And that would be two mornings work if Ruthie assisted him. Answer your emails, phone messages & SMS's you lazy ugly fat tart ... I have not ‘forgotton’ (sp?) that the conference was your idea.

She has done nothing, and I mean <i>literally</i> nothing, for the conference organisation ("oh I've got so much work to do you have no idea" - whinge whine snivel); let alone nailing me naked to the floor, again. Try to email her or ring her and I get radio silence, as per fricking usual, and then I get *this*. GAAHHHH!! The bloody woman is making me insane. Next thing you know I'll be walking up snowy Austrian mountains talking to myself. The program is pretty near finalisation and it will be posted soon. No word yet on CPD points but I hope to be able to do that: just don't hold your breath for this year. I'm going to say that for bloggers the fee, barring a mutiny that I cannot surpress with a well armed and, Amazonian style stripped naked to the waist and wielding weaponry, aggressive Ruthie, will be £20 for well paid lawyers (who'll claim it on expenses if they have a brain cell) and students/pupils £10. For non-blogging law firms £135 for up to 3 attendees. There. Now, let me get back to the fucking bar. Bloody hell,

Trying to get him to commit to a price and schedule is likely to require more drastic measures.
