European Court of Human Rights

[AHPP]

It wasn't a direct block. They don't have any men with guns to enforce judgments. It was UK judges granting appeals upon appeals, either to try to advance the law or the state of the nation or just so that everybody could get paid for listening and talking for a few years.

Anyway, here's a picture of me in 2014, about to win a national competition for pretending to be a lawyer. Human rights case about freedom of expression, based on a real case about someone on twitter complaining about wogs.

Not sure if this is the time/place/thread to ask this, but hey ho. What lead you to make the change from that to hanging around in trees, cranes and an arb forum? It's a rather dramatic change.

I was in arb just before and while at uni. I did one of my first memorable proper freelance climbing jobs on a morning in Newcastle before an afternoon lecture at Scumbag College, Wearside. Plan to go until 40 or 45 at this and then do legal things. Can still put in a ten or twenty year shift at it then. I'm 37 or 38 now.

Nice plan, can't fault it.

[peds]

Eee, there's some forward thinking for you. Great plan.

 

I intend to do this until about 45 then start growing drugs.

"Start"

This has got me going back through uni stuff now. Here's me in the supreme court, having just won an argument about delivering fish in boxes. 

 

 

The tall bloke next to me is now my drummer.

 

 

We've exchanged grooming regimes since then.

Alan Scorer's place. Little Buildings, not Supreme Court.
