It may well surprise your readers, Geeklawyer - but I have just attended a quiz nite - They were very pleasant… did not question me under caution and understood why I wanted to help the Labour party by offering a bit of dosh for honours. I am told, by a man calling himself ‘The Commissioner’ - that I will not be questioned again.

I find that - a very satisfactory result. Apparently - I was seen by a congestion charge camera wondering down Chiswick High Street in baronial robes and came to the attention of the police. Pity that I resiled some months ago when I saw people being ‘collared’ - because otherwise I could be Lord Charon - or…possibly… Senator Charon if Jack Straw ever works out how to put reform of The Lords before The Commons.

@geeklawyer: I’m testing out Google ads on conflictoflaws.net. As a Google ad afficionado, I’d be interested to know what you think. There’s a one line text link running across the top, below the header, and text links at the bottom of every post.

(Glad to hear it wasn’t me that made you mardy, ruthie; I manage to do that with my wife too much as it is.)

To Charon: hugely amusing though. Sale of the film rights would compensate for the prison sentence!

All this academic postulating about the law is all well and good unless and until you get nicked, and then all you want is some practical advice on how to get off

Dear Martin.. you haven’t offended me at all. I was just (unusually for me) having a bad day. Nothing to do with law…I like law, clients and all associated activities. No Ruthie was being required to fill in forms, and lots of em. About the only activity, apart from having to clean the bathroom, (and one day I will bag myself I rich man or a househusband so i will no longer have to do it) thats gets me really irritable.

Geeklawyer says he can always tell when I’m in a bad mood becuase all my comments and posts become. much. curter.

No dear Martin, Ruthie is a maganimous soul and incredibly difficult to provoke. Handy really given the range of difficult personalities I have to deal with in a day…

I’d be very surprised if Ruthie was offended. She is very hard to provoke: heaven knows I try hard enough and don’t think I’ve ever succeeded in genuinely pissing her off. Which is very frustrating.

Apologies, Ruthie, if my poor attempt at humour caused offence.

A great idea - I’d hook it into SMS and text myself as well, to avoid getting growled at!

What we need is an alert system on the blog to warn readers about Ruthies current stress level, rather like the warnings one now get when one enters a government building e.g. “heightened” “extreme” etc…
