Daily news podcast and legal news now up on insitelaw newswire

Tuesday night… a bit of politics and shooting bees…

And so, on a cold Tuesday night at the end of April, rain spattering on the windows of my bunker, I find myself looking at an amusing YouTube video of Boris on Have I Got News For You admitting that he once sneezed cocaine many years ago. It is a rather good video [...]

I appear to be a restaurant reviewer now and had a great time last Wednesday visiting Battersea to review a very good restaurant. My review will be up on LawandMore soon… but, to give you a foretaste / forewarning…. here is an extract:
“Should I wear a dinner jacket ?… a suit?… I [...]

Weekend Review: 26-27 April 2008

I’ve heard of Tupperware parties. I’ve even heard of Ann Summers parties. I have not been a participant - but now there are Taser Parties
The Telegraph reports: “Miss Shafman, 35, is on a mission to persuade the fearful, but fashion-conscious, women of America to pack 50,000 volts of self-defence in their handbags.”
Excellent nonsense. [...]

Weekend Review 26-27 April - Trailer…

I thought I’d kick off this week’s Weekend Review with a trailer….
Here we have a story from RollonFriday about Freshfield’s partner Chris Mort. I can do no better than quote from the RollonFriday news story:
“A video has been posted on YouTube showing Chris Mort, a leading Freshfields corporate partner, on stage leading the [...]

Listen to the daily news podcast
Law Actually picks up on the new Office for Government Commerce (OGC) logo - left. Fine when horizontal. Not so good when turned 90 degrees. The Times states that the OGC are pressing ahead with the logo. A spokesman for the OGC said: “We concluded that the effect was generic [...]

Out of the manor…

I dined well last night at a very good restaurant. The restaurant was out of my manor. It is rare, these days, for me to make ‘house calls’ - but I was reviewing a restaurant for LawandMore. The food was superb. The wine excellent. I shall be writing my review tonight…
In the meantime…. let [...]

Daily news podcast, news and a host of links to blogs with new posts is up on the  insitelaw newswire
I was sent this St George’s Day link by the anonymous Editor of Blawg Review.  Curious that the English don’t seem to bother with St george’s Day.  Mind you, as a Scot, I don’t find much [...]

Shepherd’s pie does not need layer of tomatoes on top… official

“District Judge Peter Ward told the defendant that, in his view, there was no need for a layer of tomatoes on a shepherd’s pie.”
The issues in this case, as far as I can gather from the original report in The Telegraph, turn on the recipe for “Shepherd’s Pie”.
The facts are relatively straightforward, if [...]

Jolly voting weather…

Inspired and amused by tonight’s Bremner, Bird & Fortune - I write about the forthcoming London Mayoral election and other matters.
We have the three frontrunners: Ken, Boris and PC PC whose name name I can never remember. Sex appears to play a fair part in their electoral campaigns.
Ken, it appears, seems to [...]

Weekend Review: 18-19th April

I’ll kick off with a brief report about a solicitor MP who has been charged with criminal damage for clambering over the bonnet of a van to get onto a bus. I won’t dwell on it - but it does seem a rather bizarre thing for a lawmaker and lawyer to do. Curiously, for [...]
