What on earth is going on out there? Is the Bar comprised entirely of loonies? First Mr Dunn beating the crap out of a wedding guest, lawfully it seems since he was — oddly — acquitted; and now it seems that media types turned barrister are also going mad. This Mr Hyman character appears to be confusing the role of barrister with that of TV Drama shady lawyer.
Mr Hyman is an ex-media star with an interest in colourful lawyering, driven by his TV background in drama: this confusion seems to be a result of him failing to absorb the true values of the Bar as MysteryQC has elucidated.
Geeklawyer’s concern is not for Mr Hyman’s moral failings but his practical ones. Surely if one goes to the Sleazyjet Internet Cafe in Tottenham Court Road (And Geeklawyer imagines that this is the cafe concerned) he must have known he would be photographed? There are any one of hundreds of cafes and pubs that would not have done so.
Geeklawyer’s pity is is more, as Wednesday Addams would have it, that he was just sloppy: had Geeklawyer done it he would have gotten away with it.
Apropos of very little, but weren’t you looking for online guitar lessons a while ago? There’s a featurette in the Guardian about nowplayit.com. I think it’s sort of cheating and you should do what I did, which is to just buy a tab book of your favourite albums then play along, but then again I’m pretty rubbish. Or you could adopt the “Hyman” approach — simply print a fake cover for a Led Zeppelin album and claim that it’s you playing on it. Hyman would probably balls that up by accidentally including a Utah Saints CD. And maybe an invite to one of his famous parties.
Brilliant!! Thanks a lot for that link. Will try these later on. I’m kinda trying to get a handle on basic chords first the scales and then try a few tunes. It seems like every guitarist has a different view on the best way to learn & your idea is one lots suggest.
Which one — the fake cover?
