It happens to poor & unlucky lawyers frequently and to some lawyers occasionally. For the best, like Geeklawyer, it is a rare event. Geeklawyer has taunted many a cocksucker who has huffed and puffed but climbed down: billionaire fuckwit Stelios for example.
Mercifully this litigation, for a piffling £300,000, was unrelated to Geeklawyer’s profession and his capacity to entertain the judiciary while raping punters and opponents alike remains unimpeded.
Updates as things progress.
What can Yanks do to help? We’re there for you, bubbala. The non-Ohioans, anyway.
Your support in this stressful time is much valued: much more valued would be £300k to pay ‘em off. Please send a wire transfer by close of play today.
Geek,
That is bad news. I preferred the old system (pistols at dawn, naked wrestling, todger measuring or other manly ways of settling a dispute).
Best wishes,

My opponent is a lady solicitor so naked mud wrestling is an attractive form of ADR
That Anal Sheikh. She gets around, doesn’t she.
And dwarf-tossing competitions. Don’t leave that out. Big now in Arkansas.
Trial by battle…where you can squish together in the mud.…
Ordeal by water–always liked that one. But dwarf-hurling thing is picking up in US. Likely the next wave.
I’m all for dwarf throwing but I want to have sex with them as well — so it will need to be lady dwarfs. Plus dwarf throwing gives them work they wouldn’t otherwise get: gotta love capitalism & the free market
Let me get this straight, then. You are being mudwrestled in the High Court by/with a Lady Solicitor for dwarf tossing in Arkansas whilst underwater. Will it run?!!!
You make it sound so weird when you say it like that. Really, it’s quite normal.
LM–What are you doing later on? Will need about an hour and 15 minutes, maybe.… have a picture you can send first? Need weight (stones, kilos, tons, pounds, whatever), height, birth date, too.
You have a wetsuit? Any dwarf DNA?
Dan you wretch
Leave my Harem members alone. Only I may use them.
Just getting leads. I may have 20–25 spare minutes at the right tube station–or this alley I’m thinking of near Fleet and Chancery.
Tip: saying “Fleet and Chancery” make you sound like, well, an American tourist. “4th & 3rd” “Brooke and Main” doesn’t work as directions over here.
“Near Fleet Street” or “In Chancery Lane near the Fleet Street end” is how it’s done.
More cultural tips from the delicate and sensitive cultural ambassador coming soon.
And you didn’t know about the London Stone, either, you drunken semi-literate dweeb. No, “Fleet and Chancery” is correct. Been there–under and over and on it–and Chaucer even beat up a guy there. I stand.
Ya dumb Yank, it’s wrong. Though I’ll give you the London Stone but then I don’t do tourist stuff apart from mugging them.
.… Hm — why dont you two meet in Fleet Street for a spot of drunken mud wrestling ( which may, or may not involve dwarf tossing; I exclude myself from this scenario, since I am not a dwarf) — that is if you haven’t already done so? ( PS: Would give Seriously STUPID money to watch, as would many blogging colleagues, thereby making substantial contribution to GL’s Fightng Fund)
I like this idea but Dan is about 500 pounds and so couldn’t move fast enough to make it decent wrassle. I’d feel bad.
It’s true–and I am not otherwise an attractive human. Bad public display all the way around. GL would humiliate me with his speed, charm, glow and bearing.
Dan Hull,
When google translate does American into English, you will see that the correct phrase is ‘The Fleet St end of Chancery Lane’.
I understand that the machine is currently struggling to find a proper translation of ‘Budweiser’
I put this into Google and it said “Horse Piss”. this is shows Google is approaching sentience.
Budweiser? Budweiser? Whatever do you mean? I hail from DC not Montana or Mississippi.
Bugger — havent you two ever seen Women in Love? Its the very LEAST you can do for the Hareem!!
Ps:‘Budweiser’ — Welsh term for big girlie tap water.
Lawminx,
That was the allusion in my previous post.
James! Tell me you are not an afficionado of such a dilute concotion!!!
Minx, the lady doth exclaim too much.
James — are you suggesting that I am a closet BUD drinker?!?!? How very DARE you, Sir!
Minx,
‘are you suggesting …’
No, just that you use too many exclamation marks. My previous remarks were about Women in Love (the prototype for my judicial wrestling), not the dreadful American beer.
So when do we ALL get an update on GL lawsuit? The WAC American news desk needs to know. Start traveling tomorrow. Holden gone. I’m all you have. New summer staffers are worthless and lazy and think London is in Kentucky.
There will be updates as & when. Litigation is very slow. As for new staff thrash them, they’ll enjoy it; why else would they work for you?
My Dear James,
I am wholly a fan of the gramatically inappropriate –why say it with one exclamation mark when so many MORE will do?
( Are you in any way related to the anonymous poster at Android’s Reminisences(sp, possibly) who equates the reading of my blog to a migraine necessitating medication?
Dear Mr Hull,
Indeed! Enquiring Minds Want to Know!
Minx,
‘Are you in any way related.…’
I believe we share a common ancestor.
Dear James & Lawminx Please do not flirt on my blog, only I may do this.
My Dear, DEAR Geek,
As If I would DO such a flagrant thing before the Hareem’s Leader!!!!!! As I know you would not be able to forgive me (thats pupillage out of the window) so I know too that I would not be able to forgive myself!! ( hell, thats pupillage out of the window EVERYWHERE)
