Barrister specialising in employment law. Trustee of Kisharon Noe school. Mainly talk employment law (do you see a theme?) with the occasional foray into politics and bad puns.
Surely at most it’s their biggest game since 2018 (if you exclude the 2020 and 2024 European finals)?
Maths question of the day: Jason fancies buying some cherries. How many punnets should he buy: 1 or 2?
Do some University Challenge teams pick their players solely to see whether Roger Tilling is up to the task?
Have just learnt from Only Connect that the one world record I took part in would not be recognised if it happened now (will leave you to guess which one!).
Does everyone’s cat use this technique to wake them before 5am most mornings or is it just mine?
As I was also born in the same hospital as them both does that mean I’m destined for greatness one day too?
Wonder what the Starmer lectern will look like. How will it compare to Liz Truss's jenga lectern?
I put a cryptic crossword question into ChatGPT, and I think it's fair to say it's got some way to go before it overtakes humans...
I guess it’s easier to give a historical not in a settlement sum when the lawyers on both sides of the case are working for you!
I’m a terrible cameraman but witnessed history from a few yards away
Just doing some idle googling on a Saturday night and have come across a new (to me) account of the extraordinary night by great uncle, Leslie Temple, was lucky to survive thanks (in large part) to the flying skills of Leslie Nielsen's brother.
Trying to work out if the impressive captain of the victorious Manchester Uni team has modelled himself on the Flumps or on Benny from Crossroads. #UniversityChallenge
As today is the day for putting on photos of bluebells, these were on my run this morning.
My cat (Pepper) trying to work out her new hi-tech cat flap gives a similar look to the one I give when a witness gives an answer that scuppers my client's case.
One can see his point. It's how my local GP cures me of all ailments too.
As @davidallengreen.bsky.social would note, if Iran’s equipment is only decimated, there is plenty left still to shoot.
Trump living by the mantra of Tevye's If I Were a Rich Man song in Fiddler on the Roof, with his staircase going nowhere, just for show.
I know that Olivia Coleman is an actor of amazing dexterity, but I fear this role might stretch her too far.
Today’s New York Times spelling bee is going to have people across Britain spitting out their cornflakes in anger!
They always say that as a barrister you should note what the greats are doing and see what you can learn from their actions. So today I’m taking that advice and copying @dinahrose.bsky.social and @davidmuttering.bsky.social
Fascinating piece of info in today's Nobel press release makes one wonder whether Machado was trying to deliver a different message by giving Trump her Nobel medal.
Two barristers on the Traitors cast. Now that is an exciting start to 2026!!!
A bit niche this, but the Jewish News typo in announcing Matt Lucas's OBE amused me. Kittle Britain would be a fascinating High Holyday documentary!
This is what Mishnah Berurah says (I've also provided a translation (apologies for the American English), just in case...)
