Read­ers will recall Ruthie, Geeklawyer’s ejected co-blogger who shuf­fled off tear­fully to run a lit­tle read blog called Ruthies­law. Ruthie is tak­ing part in a 6 week trial at a crown court where she will be car­ry­ing the bags of a proper lawyer, a bar­ris­ter not a solicitor-inadequate, into court.

Not ter­ri­bly demand­ing one might think but it is caus­ing her some stress. She made a con­fes­sion to Geeklawyer, on con­di­tion of strictest con­fi­dence which he will obvi­ously ignore, that she woke up this Sun­day morn­ing after a night of dis­turb­ing dreams of court, in the belief it was a Mon­day and that she was thus late. So she then ran down stairs clad only in her court shirt and san knick­ers. Oh dear oh dear. The Defen­dants don’t stand the faintest prospect of con­vic­tion with her act­ing for the prosecution.

So remem­ber lady lawyers: wear­ing your knick­ers in court is a must, unless you plan to dis­tract the jury Sharon Stone style.

Appar­ently she is also hav­ing sex­ual fan­tasies about her leader who she says is a glam­orous and attrac­tive chap: one imag­ines the hotel she is shar­ing with him will have squeak­ing bed­springs. But Geeklawyer was told to make sure Mys­teryQC didn’t hear this — done.

Geeklawyer will be attend­ing the crown court to have a gig­gle at her.
