Oh my days

Ugh, email from HMRC this morning telling me I have a message, so I log in with my secret passnumber, get a code, put it in, find the message - and all it says is that I will have a new tax statement soon. It's not there yet. Why put me through this on a Monday morning?!

Anthony Head, best known for his roles in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Ted Lasso,” has died at 72

Noooo! Giles has died! (Anthony Stewart Head who played Giles in Buffy, that is.) Such a heartthrob of mine, even at 72.

Thread of the day.

A post by Dr Lucy Series, cited extensively in the judgment

Supreme Court overrules Cheshire West In A Reference by the Attorney General for Northern Ireland of a devolution issue under paragraph 34 of Schedule 10 to the Northern Ireland Act 1998…...

Cheshire West is overruled. Deprivation of liberty law rocked to its core!

And another one. “These are unprecedentedly strong responses in patients whose disease has become resistant to both chemotherapy and immunotherapy.”

Moeeeeeeeeeeen!!

I have another #buyastrangerabook offer to tell you about. @seanjones.org is offering to buy someone the book of their choice. Any book! Not just the stuff on my website. So if there's a particular book you're after, just ask! UK only

Oh scorchio!!

Do you see how an act is not, as young men think, like a rock that one picks up and throws, and it hits or misses, and that's the end of it. When that rock is lifted, the earth is lighter; the hand that bears it heavier.

Does anyone have a combi microwave/air fryer that they would recommend?

I was thinking today. One small thing a Lab Govt with a massive majority could do would be put benefits advice back in scope for legal aid. Would save so many people so much money and heartache. Would save the public purse lots of money.

From Berlin to Barcelona by train. Today cross-country journeys mean several bookings and risks if you miss a connection. Let's change that. With one ticket and full passenger rights all along your journey. That‘s our new passenger package. link.europa.eu/HGxmpv

Interesting stats!

But each deed you do, each act, binds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again. Then very seldom do you come upon a space, a time like this, between act and act, when you may stop and simply be. Or wonder who, after all, you are.

And more big breaking news! SRA and CILEX end talks on transferring regulation of legal executives zurl.co/8qMJV

Here’s a poem called ‘Life of a Naturalist’.

Oh I did not know Xander died! This is sad.

Well played @yorkshireccc.bsky.social

Well said

On the day the Renters' Rights Act comes into force and s21 dies, the CoA explains some of the intricacies of s21 and what is meant by an "existing tenant" in relation to gas certificates caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewca/civ/202...

No darkness lasts forever. And even there, there are stars.

I cannot imagine being able to run 26 miles in under 2 hours. It doesn't seem humanly possible! The word "awesome" is too weak.

New from FM: Nearly Legal and Giles Peaker: An Appreciation | Colin Yeo

I am very much saddened to report that my friend, @nearlylegal.co.uk passed away this weekend. nearlylegal.co.uk/2026/04/gile...

I am horrified to hear of the death of Giles Peaker or @nearlylegal.co.uk as he was better known to most people. Housing law was his world, and he changed it for the better. I shall miss him.

Such sad news. RIP Andy 🌹 ‘Former Radio 1 DJ and Live Aid presenter Andy Kershaw dies aged 66’

Oh no. Andy Kershaw. Gutted.

An unlawful sub-letting prosecution succeeds in the defendant’s absence www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/news/article...

Why the f*ck must everything I hold dear be subject to the whims of a demented shitposter with no emotional regulation? Why can I not book a holiday or make a financial decision, without first stopping to think about that guy? Why should I have to wake up every morning to find out what he’s done?

mods are asleep post camera falling out of plane and landing in a pig pen to be licked by a pig

It’s that man again @nearlylegal.co.uk

Hear me out. Keep the State Visit, but send Princess Anne instead.
