Geeklawyer was wondering if anyone knew of charity or trust law blogs? His first stop, naturally, was Binary law who has found nothing.
I suppose a decent news site would do but most of those seem to be sales pitches: “We at Muttley Dastardly LLP know most of what there is to know about trust law, we can help you with …”. Fine and good, but I want gossip baby, or at least interesting commentary.
Can’t find much, I’m afraid:

No Brit ones at all that I can find.
Ah Martin, good to hear from you. Ruthie is thinking about doing a masters degree (in law) and considered that you are clearly the man to talk to.
GL will assume this is simply a ruse so that I can strip you naked and eat you. Ignore him.
Martin is clever and married why would he yield to a tart like you? However sexy you are
I’d be happy to have a chat with you about studying for an LLM (or MPhil, or BCL…you get my point, anyway).
Shoot me an email at legalscribbles@gmail.com (note this is simply a forwarding address to my uber-cool, top-secret email address that only GL and Charon know - if I reply it’s because I like you. If I don’t…)
I’m grateful for GL’s kind words, but I fear I am not clever enough to avoid ruthie’s advances, should they come to pass. I don’t see this necessarily as a bad thing, however.
Dear Martin, don’t be surprised if all your further comments to this site are mysteriously deleted..
Incredible but true, on occasion Ruthie talks to men, simply to have a chat.
However signed photographs and “I love Ruthie” T shirts are available from Geeklayer merchandising.
Good evening… Geeklawyer. I have returned from a money laundering trip to The Bollo….
As it happens… I taught Equity & Trusts for many years…. Snell was my inspiration (The P V Baker QC version, naturally) I think of Vandervell No 2 and Re Gulbenkian on a regular basis…. I even did a conference on them some years ago… until I started to get excited about ‘Romalpa’ clauses… Christ… I was unstoppable then. …
Andrabell… Clough Mill v Martin [1984] CA… et al… Agency evasions…. Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended) drafting structures to avoid the problem… I had to get therapy eventually… Checked into a ‘lawyering out’ clinic in Chancery Lane…. the wine helped… I was cured. Stopped worrying about whether s.49 SOGA 1979 (Action for the price - see also: s17, 18 SOGA 1979) could apply if a valid Romalpa clause was in place… and then I became a big game hunter on the Isle of Wight… the rest is history.
Thank you for your kind words about Muttley Dastardly LLP….
I have been to my own blog this evening. The curious picture of Dr Lecter has… disappeared…. Area 51? As it happens… I had liver and mash tonight… with some Chianti. (Villa Antinori) .. and it was…… delicious.
I am now going to have a good look around and see what is happening.
I was going to be brief… but I am over refreshed… Salute!
I hope you looked at the other pictures there- jeez!! Would hire ‘em to walk my dog.
If I had a dog that is.
Indeed, I did… I pray the trauma in aid to excuse my trip to The Bollo and subsequent posting.
I have seen those adverts on daytime TV for lawyers who can send me a cheque for injury, trauma and damages… do you know if they are any good?
No blogs, but I’ve found a discussion forum:
http://www.trustsdiscussionforum.co.uk/
And some chambers produced bulletins/briefings:

http://www.russell-cooke.co.uk/serv_c&o_charities.htm#legalupdates
I have just visited the site again…. Thank God the public only know us by our cartoon images….
Discretion is often the better part of ‘valor’ (sic) Scare the client with the bill… by all means… but not with the promo
I am now going to lie in state and watch a news channel on what is left of SKY TV…
I will, of course, be back… don’t know where, don’t know when… but I am sure we’ll meet again some sunny day…
Buona notte…
Hey GL
Have you ever considered the possibility that Martin might be winding you up?
Yes.
Have you considered the possibility that he is blind deaf without a sense of smell and serious? Odd I grant you, but why else would a man want to sleep with you?
Or perhaps he is feeling charitable? A friar from the Brotherhood of Shaggers for Christ; whose mission is to provide sexual relief for the ugly fat and desperate pre-menopausal women of the legal profession? Needy work it is true.
Why do I get the feeling that the rest of us are missing half of the conversation between you two?
I’m ever so slightly inebriated, and I’m admittedly quite a flirt in those circumstances. So, ruthie, my mobile number is 07930 568….
…no….must resist.
Amusingly enough I told Geeklawyer tonight that you had sent me you phone number…and he believed me…!!!!!!
Yeah, I totally did.
And I am a Solicitor-Inadequate too.
Oh, trust me, you aren’t getting even nearly half of it …
