Ruthie asserts that someone is whinging that Geeklawyer is using profanity. My heavens.
Of course Ruthie has been known to vest her own complaints in phantom third parties, so whether Mary Whitehouse is complaining from ‘the other side’ or whether this is a real person is not clear. Perhaps Ruthie is provoked by the sight of Geeklawyer having fun, that normally seems to provoke resentment in her.
But if this complaint is not a malicious Ruthie forgery Geeklawyer responds to it by saying that he doesn’t see why he shouldn’t drink & swear. When he does both he & Ruthie both have fun: he gets totally blotto and wields English, in its fuller range, under the approving eye of Chaucer, while Ruthie gets to nag.
Every fellow should be put to his talents says Geeklawyer.
As an aside; Ruthie now seems to communicate with Geeklawyer via blog comments. This provides a ‘behind the scenes at Geeklawyer.org/blog’ view that may interest some but Ruthie you do have my email: nagnagnag at geeklawyer.org perhaps you might use that as well? Because I don’t wish to discuss my intimate rash on the website.
Geeklawyer has asked Ruthie to swear an affidavit as to the truth of these complaints before a notary pubic. Will she have the nerve to commit perjury?
Geeklawyer won’t modify his behaviour of course: it’d just be interesting to know if any people are genuinely offended.
Geeklawyer certainly fucking hopes so.
<br/>As for Ruthie’s £477: Geeklawyer would put it in an orphaned children’s fund. There aren’t enough orphaned children.
In the meantime puritans can go here:
Update, 6 March 2007:
Ah well, Geeklawyer must eat humble pie. It seems that there really was such a complaint: It wasn’t all the malicious manoeuverings of Ruthie.
It was, it seems, MinorJunior who was upset about the language. Geeklawyer is not so concerned about the opinions of numerous of Ruthie’s lovers who lurk on the blog to find out which rival she is shagging today.
This is particularly so for those whom Ruthie, gratefully, understands are going ‘off the boil‘, and with whom she tells Geeklawyer she is, apparently, getting a little ‘bored’. Bring on the next rich lover …
I will, of course, not comment on the continuing marital discord between you and ruthie.
I do, however, find the reference to a “notary pubic” quite amusing.
Ruthie and Geeklawyer are not married. Though the bickering has led some to suggest that if we aren’t we should, be since we argue enough to be.
And I’m glad that someone has finally realised some of my spelling errors aren’t always an accident
By the way: Your email is bust, all messages getting bounced back. Oh, and I had trouble getting your special cream, so I hope its not itching too much.
Martin: Geeklawyer and I live a good three and a half hours drive away from one another. Can you truly imagine what we would be like if we were routinely situated within striking distance?
Ruthie had started writing on the blog in the hope she would bag herself a rich city lawyer, have babies and retire. Instead she has to deal with Geeklawyers tantrums, and get routinely touched for free legal advice:
“Ruthie, some chap has just rung me. He’s doing some case at the War Crimes Tribunal and wondered if article 36 of the Geneva Convention was applicable post 1956 in a demoncratic country. I know youre busy but if you could just run off a quick e mail I’ll get back to him.”
Maybe it is like a marriage: no sex and argue all the time. But if Geeklawyer did fall under a bus, I would be a bit sad.
Geeklawyer: have you ever wondered why no-one ever rings up asking for advice about shoplifting, and why instead they ring up asking for free advice about horrendously complicated legal points.
And have you considered that they reason for that might be that they already rang 10 other lawyers who quoted them five grand to provide an answer to the problem?
Will you two stop flirting now please….
Big Brother? If we all dont mention it, dont watch it and generally display the uninterest that this voyeurism that is passed off as entertainment deserves, then the advertisers will stop giving them money and they’ll take it off air.
If I want to watch people cavorting in private I can go lurk in flowerbeds and peak into their front rooms. Fortunately I have more interesting things to do with my life.
I was thinking more ‘1984′ rather than ‘Ch4′
