As L’Oreal says…

…because I’m worth it!

Ok, so it’s been pointed out that there may be more use for my random wafflings than I thought, so there’s actually a point to keeping blogging on here. So, I will!

I will still try and focus on Scots Law: as there’s very few of us doing this it seems to be the most useful thing I can do. But perhaps I’ll loosen my self-imposed restrictions on keeping it to technical topics, and maybe allow myself to meander along the random roads of library stuff…

A few posts ‘from draft that have been lurking because I didn’t think they were Web 2.0 enough’ may pop up on here now!

Isn’t it funny the places where you find a discussion of duty of care?

Donoghue v Stevenson rises again!

Entertaining discussion about spellings, maiden names and whether or not it was proven the snail was actually in the bottle in the comments section.

And yes, ‘ginger’ in Scotland is generally meaning any fizzy drink, not specifically ginger beer, but in this case, it was referred to specifically as ‘ginger beer’, so ginger beer it is! I imagine in some parts of England the case could have been about ‘pop’ 🙂

T’was to be mixed with the ice cream they bought to create an iced drink, as reported in 1932 SLT 317.

Although personally, I prefer lemonade and vanilla ice cream for an ice cream float.

And no snail included, ta!

The Naked Rambler strikes again!

The Naked Ramber, Stephen Gough, has been found guilty of another breach of the peace for refusing to put clothes on, and faces another 4 months in jail, in addition to the 20 months he’s already spent in jail.

Quite a conundrum – the jails are crowded, he’s not physically hurt anyone with his crime (although their eyes and mind might be traumatised by the sight of him!)…but he has committed a crime, and seems happy to continue to do so, until others agree that his habit of not wearing clothes is acceptable, which is highly unlikely to happen.

When is he ever likely to be released? It’s a battle of wills between the courts, and the Rambler…I wonder what the chances of him being released just over the Border, and everyone then turning their backs so they don’t witness his ‘crime’ are? *wink*
