Hey, that’s worth trademarking.

The courts are so insane during the pandemic. As always, there’s a kind of hidden room (‘claimants’ entrance’) where you can observe people and they can’t see you. Like an interrogation cell, that is. You don’t have to be there, you can go sit with the judge etc, but I’m loving the covert nature of this. Probably says a lot about me. It’s almost like being in a cinema: everything is broadcast on a huge screen, high-res and good definition, too, can’t fault them there. But some pimply law students in beanie hats were giving me dirty looks for typing too loudly.

Glad you're on the winning side.

p.s. We did have pizza and alcohol back in the 1990s too
I’m pretty sure we’ll have pizza and alcohol on Mars in 2070 (yeah, I’m being optimistic). In terms of reading from different POVs, I’m careful about that myself, but there’s only so much you can do.

Didn’t look that way to me at all, and I’m pretty much part of it. Anyway, trust me that it’s changed rather drastically since then. First thing I did after the court broke for lunch was get drunk and eat a pizza. Even though my client is winning so far.
Re-read it and didn't want anyone to think I was mocking the court system with my sense of humour. Early 1990s I lived in London.
Why did the last shout get deleted? When did you live in London? I wouldn’t have gone to RCJ if I wasn’t working in litigation tbh, it’s not obvious that one can just turn up.

Actually where I am is open to the public, so yeah, anyone can turn up. And fun indeed

Got pretty much strip-searched in the Royal Courts of Justice, where I’m meant to be observing proceedings for a client. Post-lockdown vibes already, heh.
