Jade Goody thinks she may die of cancer. Lets bloody hope so & can it be damn quick please? (Geeklawyer discovers Jade Goody is even dumber than he first thought — difficult)
Spiffy: Cuban Taekwondo fighter kicks a referee at Olympics. Great kick, lousy aim. No Cuban cigar for you fella, just Comrade Castros salt mine.
Shocking news: police abuse anti-terror powers to harass photographer who photographed them acting illegally. Who would have thought this could ever happen? Our policemen are the best in the World.
Geeklawyer gets in the Times Best Law Blogs list. The Times reports on limited lawyer blogging in the UK. UK law bloggers respond by ripping The Times a new one & claim lots of bloggers. Geeklawyer partly disagrees with his colleagues because there aren’t that many blogs and many are inactive.
The Olympics are crap. Geeklawyer has unwillingly watched one event only and he wasnt even interested in that.
I’d rather she die slowly and painfully, live on national TV.
Poor Jade, subjected to sympathy from Shilpa Shitty.
I’ve never seen Jade on television, thank god for small mercies, but the pics I’ve seen make me hope she has a slow agonising death. She looks like a fishwife.
I am SOOOO cross!
I went to the Times, read the piece concerned and voiced a polite opinion that student blogs, of whatever variety were ignored by the Author.
My comments weren’t published — and they weren’t even rude! Talk about Sphincter Police!!!
I think the criticism of the Times piece is is overdone (Look, if say otherwise they’ll leave me out of next years list) and student blogs are not really lawyers blogs, almost by definition they are aspiring lawyers blogs.
As part of the law blogging ecosphere I think student law blogs are as vibrant interesting and valuable as any other: I read many of them and think them wonderful, but that wasn’t the thrust of the Times piece. It was about the practising qualified lawyer and their use of ‘tInternet. One could have weaved in Student blogs but it would probably have been strained & off-topic.
I don’t mean to devalue law student or their blogsbut I think their exclusion was justified.
My Dear Geek,
I still believe that the blogs of the aspirant lawyer still have much to say with regard to the law, life, the universe and everything, else legal blogging will be much thought of as the province of but a few, which is why the piece complains about the lack of up to speed legal blogs to begin with.…..
