This is a fab feature – I adore being introduced to new awesome bloggers of the feminist persuasion.

just wanted to say “thanks” and to say “double thanks” for making it a sidebar.

cf. the Lady Chatterley trial in 1960:

“The prosecution was ridiculed for being out of touch with changing social norms when the chief prosecutor, Mervyn Griffith-Jones, asked if it was the kind of book ‘you would wish your wife or servants to read’.”
[Wikipedia]

I wonder if schools still ban Larkin’s “This Be The Verse”, whilst the kids trundle between lessons listening to gangsta rap on their iPods.

Clanger, I think that is a perfect judge story. He’s trying to show he’s human by showing a “GSOH”, but the subject of that humour shows he lives in another world to those who appear before him.

And thanks Ahistoricality – do follow that links folks. It is a doozy. The White House spin operation has certainly lost its way. (Sorry, bad pun…)

That is indeed a cricket bat in our President's hand: I recognize the picture from his Pakistan visit a few months back.

Re: “Mo Pie on Big Fat Deal has meanwhile been expressing a wish … for an overweight woman to be shown on television as sexy and desirable.”

I’m going to regret this, but I may be the only person on here who catches bits of daytime TV during mid-morning flapjack, milkshake and teletext sessions:

Fern Britton. Daily.

For any bored high court judges out there, here’s today’s secret code as a postscript:
BBC2-201-338-501.

Am I the only one to find that weird? Is this a new feature of the judicial system? Should we expect future high court verdicts to be delivered as podcasts by Mr. Hat from South Park?
