2007 anyone?

Monday, January 1st, 2007

Okay this is the predictions thread.  The celebrity death match concept is far too narrow.  So make your predictions for 2007 - local, global, celebrity whatever floats your boat.  Predictions close on 15 January 2007 and any serious predictions that actually come true will be suitably acknowledged during the year.

Do you believe that the world will change?

So this morning as I was trying to stop procrastinating and get on with some study (of course, blogging is another form of procrastination) I received a visit from two lovely ladies who introduced themselves as Jehovah’s Witnesses.  They asked me whether I read the bible and I said that I considered it to be […]

question

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

I am going to be at an event later this week with a rather fantastic High Court judge which is a pretty small event with a large chance of making personal contact.  Is it uncouth to ask for an autograph?  I mean, he is not a wildlife hunter or a rockstar or something.  He is […]

Census 2006

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

I love filling out forms so I filled out our census details tonight.  Next to the question where it said “What goods or services does your employer produce?” I wrote “legal services” for my own information and then I hesitated over Phil’s details.  I was so tempted to write “church services”.

Men of commerce

In a case of life imitating blog, I have been extremely conscious lately of the fact that I am a woman in a field sometimes dominated by men.  Dealing with the male female divide in the workplace is not always easy.  It is easy with co-workers and colleagues, provided you are not worried about standing […]

Nah

This is one of my favourite comics on the internet.  I particularly liked this one.  Whoops, I had to put it into the extended entry because it messes up the sidebar in crappy IE.

Eating People - Right or Wrong?

Saturday, July 1st, 2006

Lawyers, theologians, philosphers, Homer, Lance and others - I would like to know your opinions…
Is cannibalism morally and ethically wrong - If everything is permissible between consenting adults, why not?
“According to the psychiatrist, Heinrich Wilmer, the German cannibal Armin Meiwes, who killed Bernd Brandes and then ate at least 44 pounds of his flesh, is […]
