I hate flying and suffer hideously from jetlag for days.
I just made it out of Heathrow ahead of the snow but was still pretty groggy on Monday morning to face three and a half hours on the witness stand at this chancery trial.
God alone knows what the son of a bitch barrister was throwing at me for that length of time, but the whole thing appeared in slow motion with me suffering from aspergeres syndrome!! Or maybe it was more like asparagus syndrome sticking it up’em! Anyway it was all worth it in the end run and my girlfriend ended up with a 7 figure settlement, so I reckon I must have said something right whatever it was!
Needless to say it has taken me three days monging to even rejoin the human race and now I have to go down toPembroke and sort the bloody damp in the house and retain some builders. At least it hasn’t snowed down here but seriously cold for the area. Spousal unit is guarding my leeks that have germinated so that’s bound to be a death knell for them.
This place is disgusting, the whole M4 is a litter ridden wasteland, why they don’t get the bloody parasites out collecting it I don’t know. Nice to see friends but for the rest, forget it!
Gets worse every time I come here, at least Carmarthenshire is still white but the rest of the place might as well be downtown Bhopal! Even the air is disgusting up in England.
Roll on the 29th when I can escape.
I shall issue invitations to all to visit me as I don’t think I can stomach coming back here again.
One ray of sunshine, I have some travelling to do and my girlfriend insists I take BMW 1200 of hers, I think it is a 1200 sporty soft top style of vehicle, would of been quite happy with the old jeep,but she absolutely insists. I shall be a major embarrsment pootling about at 55mph in that thing. Oh well, good for a laugh I suppose.
Just to let you know I was alive, if barely.

CO, it sounds as if you’re still on good form despite the efforts of Blighty to dampen your spirits. I trust Pembroke is ready for you! 🙂
CO: Sounds like Mr. Tulkinghorn earned his fee.
Two observations:
Beemers are crap in snow even with winter tyres, so be careful.
I am delighted to hear you will not be on the M4 come Dewi Sant, upon which day I shall be hurtling westwards towards Gwent.
Oh, for goodness sake, Tina, whilst one is relieved to hear you actually survived the ordeal of the Atlantic Crossing and of course one recognises the leek problem, but to cut to the chase, what did you actually wear for your court appearance?
Sorry, but surely this is of paramount importance, although obviously one appreciates the warning to avoid the M4 for a while.
Regarding the necessity to stay until the end of the month, could you not just change your flight?
Glad to know all your sufferings have not been in vain.
ara, arctic fox and sufficient diamonds! Just a tad Jan Collins. (Yes, I really did)
Never go in a courtroom looking poor after all none of the players are poor so they are far more likely to think of you as protecting one of their own!!!!!!
Most judges hate peasants, they see too many of them. He ogled, I smiled.
LW I’ll just be away as you arrive!
The most hysterical crack was when asked had I forged such and such I replied (snapped)
“Certainly not, I would have made a much better job than that rather nasty amateur effort”
The judge fell about laughing. Ohwell, one has to get a few laughs somehow!
“Pootling about?” – that must be a sight for sore eyes! Congratulations on the result. It is bright and sunny in London town this morning and to think of you in furs and diamonds is an added bonus ha ha.
Congratulations on the result of the case.
I’m with Ara… what DID you wear 🙂 ?
Nym, #5, “arctic fox and sufficient diamonds”!
No. I’m sure it would be pearls, not diamonds.
pEARLS ARE FOR DOWAGERS!
No need to shout….
