Where’s the photo gone?! Thieves!

Stalkers are as stalkers do.
ah, guilty. But it is an odd layout: call it ‘Pictures’ not ‘Ruthie’ and put a thumbnail link in the body of this page.

Frankly - I think there is a degree of egotism in that statement (yes, a bit rich from me). I really doubt whether more than an eeeeny teeeny fraction of people in any court read blogs, let alone yours.

Erm the picture is still there: click on the “Ruthie” link below my description above. Yes yes, I know it needs to be better laid out and I will sort it, but I do have other work to do y’know…
Other work to do? A likely story. Still, innocent til proven guilty as some blog or other says (such sentiments have long been eradicated from the law of course, and we are all under house arrest for being suspected terrorists)
Hi,my name is Alicia Piper, i’m an attorney from trinidad and i am doing some research on sabbatical leave for judges. Now i am aware that judges are entitled to Sabbatical leave in England, I cannot however find the legislation or legal authority governing this. Do you know of any such legislation or can u guide me to such?
