Ruthie has been spending a lot of time on the road of late, either on her new motorbike or in the car. Driving, like sitting in the bath or lying in bed post alarm clock, but pre get up, is a blissful uninterupted period for cogitation. Ruthie’s best skeleton arguments are compiled whilst in company [...]

Dear Diary,
Those gorgeous rockers got it right when they sang the above. As the Madonna of the Yardwinder sits snugly in PC Clod’s safe, there are wheels within wheels.
It will be remembered that Mr Calum Jones, solicitor, of HBJ Gateley Waring had an “interesting but benign” explanation of how he came to be involved. The [...]

Dear Diary,
Apparently, the terrorist attacks on London could have been avoided if only British law enforcement agencies had acted on information supplied by Saudi Arabia. This information, which exists entirely in the imagination of King Abdullah Ibn Saud, has been put front and centre as the noble monarch of the mutilated hands visits London on a [...]

Dear, dear Diary,
Only now, after a decent interval has elapsed, can I face your soft, creamy pages again. Even though my eyes are red from weeping, I cannot see any rosy tint. Mistress Ruthie has decided that she prefers a hot, rigid, full-on machine to the more delicate joys which I could offer. Dear Diary, [...]

Readers will recall Ruthie’s unfortunate recent liason. Having written off her beloved blue streak, after a brief period of mourning she has formed another relationship. Looks, styling and charisma are all very well, but sometimes one is prepared to trade for a model that’s easier to handle. And it’s suprising how quickly you forget the [...]

Dear all,
I am afraid that I shall not be able to be present at Mistress Ruthie’s wonderful drinks evening tomorrow night. I know that this will make several of you immensely upset, but I urge you to dry your tears, stiffen your upper lip and attend anyway. To make things a little easier, I [...]

Ruthie often watches with amusement her fellow lawyers with their A levels in Greek and Fine Art and degrees in comparative philosophy, grappling with the most basic challenges presented by modern technology. An infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters will bang out the complete works of Shakespeare eventually, but when the [...]

Dear Diary,
I have often been asked, usually by Judges in a tone of wonder, why more Barristers cannot be like me. The view I have taken, that serendipity has much to do with it, has been taken reflexively. Now, Dr James Watson has unleashed a storm of protest by suggesting that difference might go as [...]

Dear Diary,
Mrs Justice Dobbs is in charge of encouraging diversity in the Judiciary. I am all for diversity and I wish Dobbs J would encourage Judges not to say, “Ms Maiden, I have seen a better case in the packing department of Ikea“. At present there is no diversity at all on that score. But [...]
