Geeklawyer and some twitterers went down to the seaside for a beer of two. Well, four of five, at least, to be truthful. Since Geeklawyer is currently being sued he feels that he is entitled to behave badly, however pitiful the lawsuit is.
The venue was the terrific Lord Nelson Pub which is well worth a visit if you are in Brighton, although it doesn’t have a beer garden which is its only minor weakness.
The evening started with a reasonable degree of sobriety and discussion of earnest legal topics and the future of social media. As the beers flowed, as the wine was delivered in a steady stream of bottles, sadly, the behaviour became a little unruly with only Geeklawyer behaving in any sort of remotely decent fashion.
One again Twitter proves it networking value.
Update:
Geeklawyer notes that #Brightonpissup2 is mentioned by CharonQC in his huge Blawg Review 214.

What jolly FUN it all looks! Its at times like this that I wish I wasn’t quite so bound to the sticks — I’d have LOVED to have joined in with you all!
O My GOD!! It WORKS!!!!!!!!!
Woman in 3rd photo? Vitals, DOB, weight, height, if Brit–number of teeth, US or UK colleges, please. E-mail fine. Will be confidential.
Have spoken to @rah_rah, told her a depraved revolting old US lawyer was hot for her ass. She was sick. Told her you were wealthy: changed her mind, wants to see your audited accounts for last 5 years, if they are OK you may get to first base.
Send notarized copies ASAP, she wants your money.
p.s. will throw in Tess in 2nd photo as deal sweetener: they do tricks together.
Will my tax returns do? You also told her, I assume, about my weight, height, manner, snorting noises, etc. and that I am not at all attractive. She should be warned about that.
I have sent her a photo: she said “urgh!” and “but looks are not important as long as his bank accounts are healthy. He’s very old? with a dicky heart? GREAT!”
You must have sent her Greenfield’s picture–do use proper WAC photos…they usually work…I can do a screening interview of her on phone…would prefer if her attorney is present…I will have one or two with me…possibly my CPA on line. She looks mean, smart, expensive–all fine and the usual. May be too old but may make exception…see how screening goes.
Too old? @rah_rah is over 20 it’s true. I will sent a draft ‘Services’ contract for your perusal in case pre-screening interview goes OK.
Fine. Agreed.
