Geeklawyer has a new co-blogger who will be introduced shortly. He is incredibly excited to have her as she is enormously talented and a high profile figure in her field. And hot as well.
The slight delay is caused by ongoing contract negotiations which seem to be stalled on Clause 87:
“87 Co-Blogger
87.3 shall at all times adopt a deferential demeanour towards Geeklawyer whether on the Blog or at any other time,
87.4 will refrain from posting crap Geeklawyer doesn’t like including but not limited to Rowing Rugby Wimmin’s issues or other crap that he shall in his absolute discretion decide,
87.5 shall not nag Geeklawyer on his drinking, language, working practices or such other matters as shall be attached hereunder at schedule 43 ‘Nagging’
…
”
Her counter offer is;
“87 [Bollocks] Co-Blogger shall do as she pleases, as did previous Co-Bloggers”
Personally Geeklawyer can live with her version but it’s important as a matter of principle to start our blogging relationship from a position of his tyrannical dominance.
hmmm someone is willing to accept your tyranny?
I congratulate you!
May you enjoy this fantasy that you have built around clause 87.
I may be fond of Ruthie, but you will always be first and foremost in my thoughts dearest Geekie
Is that enough to assuage your delicate sensibilities?
Lets hope she enjoys being abused and having her personal life discussed in public. Oh and having any posts critical of Geeklawyer deleted.
Oh, sour grapes. How disappointing
I hope your blog develops into something good, a serious criminal blog would be something you’d do well.
You can alway ask me for geeky advice I’d be happy to help another blogger & especially you. The hate isn’t mutual.
Thank you. I don’t hate you at all, in fact as an indication of goodwill I’m still hoping you might allow me the honour of buying you dinner when I’m down in your area shortly.
No. ‘Dumped’ means dumped, you’re history. You had your shot & you blew it.
Good luck, but I’m moving on. Sorry. Happy to help with your geeky stuff but don’t misinterpret.
Erm only trying to be friendly since you seemed to suggest I was bitter and twisted…
Ruthie I don’t know what you mean about discussing personal matters, the blog only has a superficial level of things on it. I mean none of the deprived orgies, cocaine usage or secret affairs are normally discussed. I’ve found you have to go down the pub and supply Geeklawyer with cider and mead in order to get the full story.
Shit and I’d signed a confidentiality agreement with the News of World for that stuff..
Problem is, cider & mead is my Achilles heel and you have found it. You know too much to live. I think you may have an accident on ‘t moors real soon now
If I recall, while we were frolicking in the woods by the Baltic Sea last year, we purchased some lovely fruit ciders for you.
The secret is out of the bag dearest Geeklawyer, you love your fruity tipple.
Anywho, now that you have worked your way through negotiating clause 87 when shall we see the first few characters of text from your new co-blogger? Shall she develop a following herself? Dare I say a fan club?
Or whether she is merely a figment of Geeklawyers febrile imagination…
I’m sure, Geeklawyer you are about to ally my fears. Even if you have to post under another name yourself.
You will see, and when you do you will have your answer …
Uh huh? I’m taking bets. 5:1 says it never happens.
Glad that you enjoyed my chocolates though.
She is insanely busy but has committed to writing on a regular basis — tho’ regular is undefined and I fear it may not be that often.
Oddly she seemed a little bit intimidated by the prospect of writing here — complaining that she felt she wasn’t up to the humourous standards of the blog. Unfortunately she told me this while I was quaffing a cider. She nearly drowned and I nearly choked in the ensuing sea of coughed up alcohol.
How a regular reader could think this I can’t imagine but I did reasure her that hers didn’t need to be a comedy slot. I hope that, like Ruthie’s new blog, she will aim to bring a degree of sobriety and intellectual weight.
And about time too. I’ll continue to provide the light relief.
Nooo, I’m sure she was actually intimidated by your manly genius.
Havn’t you got your own blog to ruin?
My dear, I assumed you’d simply delete any of my mildly critical posts…
I don’t think that is very likely GL, for you forget about that film footage I filmed of you Stephen and Harry whilst you had imbued aforementioned alcoholic beverages. If anything was to happen on me on tut’ Moor then my lawyer is instructed to release the footage on You Tube and post the suitable links on Ruthies Law.
Damn you and your forward planning. I’m outmanouvered.
That was inevitable. Your whimsical threats of assassination were never a match for the knowledge accrued from my Idiots Guide to skullduggery.
Children, children, a little decorum please. Oh I forgot, you’re advocates…
But still more civilised than politicians..
Dont kid us Rupert — you love it. Like all journo’s you feast on the misery of others …
