    Sorry - hadn't realised you had backed at betfair

    Edit: However the Serena match is the one to watch at the moment

    I only use Betfair.

    It's Murray or, if you press the red button, news about the footie (rugby league). It's like the third world here sometimes only with air con, cold beer and SUVs for all.

    If you win, you have to pay bus fares for the nice people to meet you for afternoon tea!

    I also feel more barrister, less female, when chatting to violent men in cells.
    Sounds like you fit in a spot of Speed Dating for lulz.

    I don't. Its funny how many clients don't recognise ''their'' barrister with out a wig on. Besides anything else, its a minor security measure, this considered.

    But if it matters to you if you need representation get a solicitor advocate :)

    What sadist would invent a security measure so hot and itchy?

    It's not for me, however next time I'm on Jury service, I'll consider wearing a wig too. :)

    It's oppressively hot and humid. Need a thunderstorm.

    One of my favourite barristers was a very traditional type, I remember seeing his face fall when a case got shifted to a judge who never wears a wig. He used to bemoan the lack of respect for dresscode and the state barristers arrived and left court in. He was a very kind and lovely man, and I'm very sorry not to still be in touch with him. Its nice when you meet people you work with who genuinely inspre you and win respect. :)

    Don't think buses go anywhere near, need to arrive in style if the car park was anything to go by.

    That sort of thing makes me want to arrive on an old Lambretta.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
