Contrary to the opinion of some, Geeklawyer is not a Grinch the innocent so suffer. He merely desires death pain and suffering to those who have irritated him in 2008. To those remaining 5 of you on the Planet: "Merry Xmas!!!"
In this the first podcast since May, yes Geeklawyer is a little embarrassed about the gap thank you for reminding him & shut the fuck up, he briefly outlines his year so far, and through the fog of recession - the year to follow. He has done well, notwithstanding the economic Tsunami that has affected people who don't matter much, non-punters, and also the people who do: his punters.
These latter have all fared well, or at least they don't understand the white light coming towards them. So as long as Geeklawyer can pick their pockets before enlightenment hits them all is good.
Rights organisations of the year: The Open Rights Group (digital civil liberties) and no2id (anti the Database State).
It would be traditional to wish all readers a happy New Xmas and a joyful New Year. Oddly Geeklawyer will do just that, though only on the advice of his psychotherapist. Please enjoy the podcast.
Update: CharonQC's podcast with me here.
Appalled to discover that your fine green jacket has met its demise.
Yours, wallowing in grief...
I suspect you are thinking of the wrong green jacket. Jacket disposed of was a moth eaten old thing bought in the '80's & with sentimental value only. I was a mercy killing.
Jacket you are, I suspect, thinking of is my Edwardian Green Velvet with the Black collar.
honestly geek - why do you even bother when people can't make the effort to remember which of your green jackets is which!?! we really don't deserve you.
i am tempted to apply for a mini-pupillage at your chambers just to be closer to the jackets (and of course i realise you are way too important/busy/sheer bloody nasty to be a mini-p supervisor). i could spray you with noxious chemicals from a suitable distance to deter the moths. and lepidopterists.
is ddt bad for the moobs, i wonder?
I'm not that nasty. If you'd wished to be a well remembered mini-pupil plying me with mead and hot girls would have worked. That might even have got you a puppylage.
However you blew it with moob jibe: see how easy it is to screw up? Forgotten The Barristers already?
forgotten? not possible - would have had to have watched it first...though i must say the woman everyone liked who was dicked about for tenancy was very good in revels.
such a shame about my big boob! now it looks like i'll just have to rely on an oxbridge first and devastating good looks. (one or both of which must have been your chief weapon, oh great one). that and mindless transparent flattery.
anyway, i'm not sure i'm going to do law any more - might have to take time to stop the killing in palestine or some such small task. you must forgive me; i am high on my first victory in the rent tribunal. proved i'm worth every penny of my pro bono fee. 'not good but cheap' will be on my tombstone in the paupers' graveyard.
