Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

My Post did say at the very end, to be fair.....

There you go, I hope the Post is 2+2 compliant, if not, my apologies to the Mods.

It also replied to a 3 page thread which asked questions about SP, so it seemed reasonable to answer. Maybe I went over the top with my heavily-spammed reply, I even included my Twitter addy. 

What happened to the cooey-wooey approach?  Have you gone all Murdoch now you're a Sky stormtrooper?

I've replied to the 2+2 Mods, & verified my legitimacy. I wrote it from my official SP addy, which gives my job title at SP, so maybe I'll be OK. They'll wonder what "Relations Manager" means.

So what's the difference between an injunction and a superinjunction?

You'll have to ask a legal eagle. Or a Premiership Footballer. I think it's really just a term coined by the dumbschmuck red tops.

It's an injunction that means the injunction's existence itself can't be mentioned, never mind the details of it.

It's something pretty much unique to the UK, and combined with other elements of our ridiculous libel laws means you get lots of 'libel tourists' using the UK to sue others and effectively restrict the freedom of speech here.  You can even get someone who doesn't live or operate in the UK suing someone who doesn't live in the UK for something that wasn't even published in the UK.

I thought it was something to do with Judge Dredd

It was a masterpiece of cooey & wooey. Which the mods saw right through.

Mods on all forums are all thick, stupid, insensitive & never understand, eh?

A bit private, and I hope that Nick Whiten does not mind me mentioning this.

On Wednesday, his little lad, (18 months old?) fell down the stairs. Sod's Law being what it is, his head landed smack-bang on the hinge of the Stair-Gate, causing a major scare, blood everywhere, ambulance, the lot.

A fraught day ensued at the Hossie, but all is well now. Apparently they do not stitch the wound these days, they "glue it". The collision between gate & head was only marginally away fom the lad's eye, phew.

Nick said they rung for the ambulance, & had barely ended the call before the Ambo arrived, & that the Hossie were magnificent. Bravo the NHS.

I can't imagine how a parent must feel in such circumstances. If I were a parent, I'd be as hard as nails, or try to be, but I'd go crazy if something like that happened I think.

Wow! google informs me that John Lennon would have been 70 today!

Where did my life go?, it seems like only yesterday (no puns, please) they were "the new thing".

Glad to hear he's OK.

Once, when we were stopping in Cambridge. Sadie was about 8 or 9. One day she was running along side another kid on a bike when she slipped and put ther arm through the spokes.

Her arm was smashed to pieces, and when we got the the hospital there had been a major road traffic accident and all the doctors were busy.

I had to sit in casualty with her on my knee for over four hours before she relieved treatment. It was truly horrible.

2 off today's list now, the Tourney next Wednesday is all sorted, or as much as able at this stage, & the 2+2 Thread, ditto.

Next up, the Press Release. Where's Barry Carter when I need him?

delegate more stuff to Jeeves imo

Delegate? I can only delegate if I trust the person to do it as well (or badly) as I would. He's too unreliable, he comes & goes, & some of his previous employees have been well dodgy.

Jeeves has just landed.  You may well be in for an earful Mr. T.

He's clearly sulking. Because he's hurt. That's how it works. Wound them, give them a little slap, a reminder, & they soon buck up. It's how one handles the working class riff-raff.

I think setting out today's "to do" List has helped me. The Press Release is now finished. Well, the first draft is. As of now, the Suits are tearing it to pieces & readying the "REJECT" stamp.

So, just....

1) The Fox Club tonight. How on earth do I get home from there if I miss the last train?

2) Clear up the e-Mails Inbox, which is bulging fit to burst.

Will you be wearing your new dinner jacket ensemble for the Fox Club's opening?

You jest!

Back to SP apparel this evening.

I'm off shortly. Tube train from Hatton Cross, via the excellent Picccadily Line. No loitering in the station car park this evening, either. Low cloud = plane-spoting is poor quality.
