Blawg Review, set up by the anonymous and mysterious Ed is an institution, a carnival of law bloggers with a different blawger hosting it each week. This week Ed celebrated the 200th edition and wondered if the end was nigh? I can’t see the death of Blawg Review imminent or otherwise. It is a wonderful resource and while US centric to some extent, this is changing. A number of bloggers from the UK, Canada, Australia and elsewhere have hosted. I’ve enjoyed doing two: #141 at the beginning of 2008 and #193 at the beginning of 2009 (The Lord of Misrule)
While children sleep in their beds and lawyers pore over their briefs and papers…. the Prince of Darkness himself will host Blawg Review on March 16th… the theme day of my favourite god, Bacchus. Lawyers in the American mid-west ‘may’ tremble at the prospect after the Prince revealed himself in Blawg Review #666 last year – a truly astonishing peroration on no theme at all by the holder of the Tourette Chair of Legal Blogging at F%$chester University. This year… who knows what GEEKLAWYER will do. I cannot wait!
I interviewed Geeklawyer who likes to remain anonymous. This explains his Ninja outfit. He has just been in Canada for a month, living high on the proceeds of fees from his grateful punters.
Watch the movie to see what he has to say about his forthcoming Blawg Review.
PS: Colin Samuels, author of the Infamy or Praise Blawg picked up his fourth Blawg Review of The Year title (in succession) for his excellent Blawg Review on the theme of The Ancient Mariner. His previous Blawg Reviews took Dante’s Inferno as the theme. I am pleased to say that Colin Samuels is now my co-author for the West London Man series of social satires modelled (loosely) on Hogarth’s Rake’s Progress.
Watch the movie to see what he has to say about his forthcoming Blawg Review.
It has been some time since I had The Queen over to Charon TV. Tonight she talks turkey about government and then talks about the cricket, Slumdog Millionaire and Sir Allen Stanford, the Texan Billionaire.

Well… here we are. It is Christmas Day. I have opened the bottle of red wine from my Christmas stocking. I tracked Santa’s progress across the globe
It is Christmas Eve…. and I’ve been able to do my interview with The Queen. It is a wrap as we say in the business….
A short film to give you a taste of what will follow on Christmas Day. There is news of advancement for Charon… possibly.
I went to bed on Saturday night in my cabin on the boat full of good intentions. I planned to wake on Sunday morning and write about the great problems our world is facing. Unfortunately, I woke up at 04.09. I tried to resist the impulse to go on to Twitter. I was, I regret, unable to do so. I found
Today, I am interviewing @Herod about why he is on Twitter. He tells me about his ancestors, that he is running a hedge fund and working as a freelance consultant for HM Revenue and Customs.
Geeklawyer took a trip to St Pancras railway station yesterday – believing that he was due to get on a train to see a friend of his up in Yorkshire. It would appear, monitoring his transmissions on Twitter yesterday, that he got the day wrong. I took a trip to St Pancras to see if he was there today. He was….
