New Advocate blogger

As pointed out a few weeks ago by lo-fi, there’s a new Scottish legal blogger…and he’s actually a proper, qualified grown-up who knows what he’s talking about, unlike me and my random mutterings…

Jonathan Mitchell QC, member of the Murray Stable, has revived his online presence with a blog on Scots law and legal practice, with regular informative and helpful posts.

Tally-ho to Dublin!

I forgot to confirm that I’ve been allowed to skip off to Dublin in June for the BIALL Conference, for law librarian-type fun, games, and edumacation.

I’m looking forward to it – a chance to catch up with the people I already know from Scotland who’re going (we like a good conference jaunt, there’ll be anything up to a dozen of the Scottish Law Librarians Group going that I know of, and as there’s only about 100 of us in total, that’s a good showing!), and to meet some of the people I know online, who I haven’t actually met in person yet. I’m hoping they’ll be nice to me and overlook my inner geekiness…I wonder if any of them can be bribed with tablet, Edinburgh Rock, and C U Jimmy hats….

and you know, what? I may even….learn something new!
Although I think Guinness may be involved at some point, and I’ve never found that to be much of a memory aid before… 😉

The police in Aberdeen aren’t holding a grudge

No, of course not.
They just really, really like Sgt Eros / Stuart Kennedy, and they like to see his act as often as possible, to see what reason they can find to arrest him again.

I’m sure there are far more important things going on in Aberdeen that need police attention. And this wouldn’t be in any way related to both a sheriff and appeal judges finding their previous attempt to prosecute him to be ridiculous, and thrown them out.
Would it?
