As I have already said, I am a criminal defence lawyer. Now anytime I meet someone new (i.e. when my better third lets me integrate in society because I’ve taken my medication), one of the first questions i get asked is “how do you deal wth it when you know the person is guilty?”, or some variation.

The first thing about being asked this is that EVERY TIME, my new found friend/associate/drinking partner will say “You must get asked this all the time…”.

YES… ALL THE BLOODY TIME, SO WHY ARE YOU GOING TO BE SO PREDICTABLE AND CARRY ON THIS CRAPPY CONVERSATIONAL CUL-DE-SAC????  Read more... (464 words, estimated 1:51 mins reading time)

Ok, so now I have popped my blog cherry with random drivel about porn in Borders, I think I should give some detail on who’s who in my world.

For reasons that should hopefully become clear, i am not able to give any names away. This isn’t because my blog is some undercover conspiracy, that could lead to the deaths of thousands if the author was identified (you think that would bother me?). No… I work as a criminal defence lawyer in Leicester, and will probably make some references to clients (not by name of course). If it somehow got back to them, I could find myself in a whole pile of crap (and the DSS queue) so it’s really not worth the risk.  Read more... (472 words, estimated 1:53 mins reading time)

Well, what excitement is this? A blog you say… well for some reason my better half (well, third given her diminutive size) thinks that you may be interested in my assorted rants and ramblings. Feel free to let me know if she was right, or if you think this is actually a collection of self-serving monkeyshine.

I write this having just had the pleasure of a trip to Borders in Leicester. After the joys of Starbucks and looking through the magazines, I started to just wonder why they had such a dazzling array of magazines for the discrening gentleman. That’s right… why does a huge book-shop have such a variety of jazz-mags? (nb. i mean magazines with non-biodegradable bap action, rather than magazines about jazz… they are on a different shelf)  Read more... (472 words, estimated 1:53 mins reading time)

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

Wow, thank you WordPress. I am overwhelmed that this was officially my first blog, even though I had no knowledge of it. I would just delete it, but I wouldn’t want you lovely WorldPressers to feel that your workings were unwanted.

God Bless WordPress, and all who sail in her!!!
