This has nothing to do with law, but sometimes a personal howl of frustration must be let loose. The topic is crappy internet service providers. To be specific, Pipex Internet. I am a Pipex subscriber, although not for very much longer. I have been for...
In one of the least surprising outcomes of a CPS consideration of merits of prosecution since, oh let's say the cash for honours flasco, 'Klara and Edda bellydancing' has been decided to be 'not indecent'. So, a photo previously 'investigated' for indecency...
Thanks to the US Above the Law for the light relief, a Miami law student gets his comeuppance on some US Court show. This does faintly remind me of a local District Judge in attitude, if not in anything else at all.
A very long, frantic and difficult day, without any lunch, but successful in a way that means the last week and a half of intense busyness was, in retrospect, worth it. I can't give details, not only for reasons of anonymity, but because matters aren't yet...
