Conjuring up mental images somewhere between Orwell and Python the Minstry of Justice went live after very little parliamentary discussion and virtually no press converage on 9th May 2007. The Department of Constitutional Affairs, previously the Lord Chancellor’s department is therefore no more.
Ruthie wonders whether two name changes within the space of 10 years will […]
Chris Tarrant the well known presenter of “Who wants to be a millionaire” was last night arrested following an altercation in a curry house with a fellow diner. Geeklawyer said “I just wanted to put a few questions to him to see if he knew the answers and didn’t just get them from researchers on […]
Whilst Ruthie thinks she ought to be remembered for her stunning advocacy, profound legal insight and intellectual prowess, she can’t help having a sinking feeling that she will be remembered in a hundred years time primarily for the wearing of pink leathers, and possibly writing a few humorous quips on this blog.
Mindful that this blog..a […]
No, not a ploy to attract the BDSM crowd (we had enough of them when we posted about civil liberties and pornography), but a cheap trick to highlight the fact that May is motorcycle awareness month.

OK, well maybe Ruthie isn’t going to be joining Storm model agency any time soon, however she will be appearing in the 17th May edition of the Law Society Gazette in her bikini sensible jacket. And more to the point Ruthie had great fun yesterday with Dr. Gonzo, the Law Society Gazette’s maverick IT reporter […]

Drugs that improve memory concentration and performance are now available on the internet, and will no doubt be coming to a pharmacy near you soon.

Ruthieworld has a delicate ecology, the needs of her boss, clients, Geeklawyer, harem of men, motorcycle and tropical fish are all carefully balanced against one another. Its fair to say of late that she has been neglecting to nurture the delicate balance; Geeklawyer has been suffering at the expense of Work. Ruthie knows this because […]
Just to remind you all about the Blogging Conference to be held on 18th May 11am - 4pm at CPA Global, lunch included. Geeklawyer in typically disorganised fashion has not made a list of everyone who previously expressed an interest. After suitable and sustained nagging he will now prepare a list and contact those of […]
