Tis somewhat juvenile, but … (Whisky Competition)

Master Cantrell has alerted Geeklawyer to National Rail’s hilarious experiment with Artificial Intelligence for train information. It/She is called Lisa.
Any Unix geek reading will be familiar with the entertaining AI in the Emacs editor (of the same name GL thinks?). Abusive questions are, of course, inevitable:
“You asked:
You look bored? Are you wearing knickers?
Lisa says:

Lawyer makes ‘You wanker’ sign at judge: court responds with motion of its own

OK there’s no story here just the headline. (Though my punchline was better than Fark’s for once)

Oh no, please - blind me, please!

This Maryland woman,

Mary Gates, is charged with three counts of solicitation of first-degree murder. The accusation is that she offered an undercover trooper $6,000 to kill her husband and then gave him the husband’s photograph and work schedule.
If Geeklawyer were the husband he’d give the hitman a big gun, paint a huge bulls-eye on his […]

It’s not art - it’s a willy and it scares me

Apparently the poor folk of Newport were so threatened by the fuax penis of an arty mannequin in a shop window that they complained to council jobsworths. These then whinged to Police and Community Support officers who in turn told the shop owners that they faced prosecution for causing “alarm harassment and distress” to passers […]

Oh for fuck’s sake Court of Appeal - get a life

Family Lore reports that Mr Justice Singer was just ordered to step down form a case for making a few poor jokes. In the matter of El Farargy v El Farargy and Others he made a couple of faintly amusing quips about using a “flying carpet” to avoid/evade costs and poor quality gelatinous evidence that […]

Honestly, it just isn’t fair.

Make sure there is a pillow under your jaw when you read this story.
Imagine, right, that you wanted $10million out of a supermarket. How would you do it? Storm in through the front door waving Kalashnikovs? Nah, bit crude and they aren’t likely to have that much in the tills.
Well, not unless Geeklawyer has been […]

Eversheds cunning recruitment plan?

Almost certainly a spoof. Spotted via CharonQC and Liadnan.
Eversheds HR people, one assumes together with their advertising agency, seem to have come up with a cunning, and one can only assume coke fueled, campaign to aggressively not recruit anyone.
If you are one of the following types of lawyer you too can have an exciting career […]

Me? Binge drinker? WTF?!

Apparently Geeklawyer’s fondness for a drop of mead is not going unobserved. One of CharonQC’s visitors reached his site by Googling on the phrase “Geeklawyer binge-drinking” - one can understand why but frankly this is not normally helpful.
Or at least at any other time it would not have been. Mercifully, Ruthie is busily engaged in […]

Bad taste Pavarotti jokes

Pavarotti’s death was terrible: a great singer lost to his art. But nonetheless a punter of Geeklawyer’s sent him some dreadfully distasteful humour that caused much offence. He repeats it here solely so that you are forewarned and not as shocked and offended as Geeklawyer was.

Elton John is taking over from Pavarotti in […]

Doh - a deer - a dopey deer

As if dope growers didn’t have enough to worry about what with rising suburban property prices. helicopters and thermal imaging cameras - they now have to watch out for the animals.
The Register reports on a deer that stumbled across someone’s guerilla growing operation and began consuming the evidence.
“Ma, get me gun; wezza eatin’ deer tonight”  […]
