They’re back ⁦‪@PumpCourt‬⁩ with another excellent episode on alienating behaviours. I disagree, however, that manipulation invariably requires intention. It can be an involuntary / unconscious reaction to negative stimuli.

I think I’m more thrilled than my youngest child that Steel, the gladiator, is visiting her school on Wednesday next week. An inspiration to them before their sports day.

With joy! #parkrun

I was going to watch another episode of Dept Q, but I discover the Inbetweeners Movie is on E4 and now I’m mesmerised.

Raspberry muffins and cheese, carrot and courgette muffins. Breakfast for the week sorted.

Nine hundred and fifty English pounds for a smart watch now. £949.99 to be precise. What. The. Hell!? My ancient Garmin refuses to track heart rate and VO2 Max now, but srsly. I’m not replacing it at that price. Oh, sorry, only £880 for my tiny wrist.

Another joyous run this morning celebrating “National Helen Day” (apparently) yesterday. Could have painted my own lines around the track, too. 🤩

Sometimes a run is perfect. Beautiful sunshine, cool breeze, all my mates on the sidelines to greet me 😄, no aches, smooth pace, easy breathing 💯. @bangpodcast.bsky.social and @thebritpopshow.bsky.social carried me along. Recommended! Good morning Sunday!

FINALLY including Teenage Fanclub. 😍 They should be played at least once a month. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Lindisfarne between the cloudbursts.

What’s your sign (pt 2)?

Just me that likes Albania? #Eurovision

Latvia also wins a point 😍 #Eurovision

As usual Ukraine bring out a banger. LOVE this! #Eurovision

A warm weekend (in Eng at least) awaits. How about a lovely walk with a new #podcast? If you've not tried us and you love #80smusic with the odd bit of #ColdWar history, then give us a go. Rare tunes as well as the biggest hits discussed. Join us! 6 episodes done. open.spotify.com/episode/0JPP...

GH v IH [2025] EWFC 120 (B) (10 April 2025): Applications by wife to enforce arrears of spousal maintenance order and by husband to vary the order. Wife's application dismissed and order varied downwards. www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWF...

And here is the link to Episode 6 on Apple! We discuss wonderful songs by UB40, The Specials, XTC, The Beat and an interview with the wonderful Lesley Woods of the Au Pairs! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

Almost 30 years since I met these amazing people. And today I had the absolute joy of having some of them around for lunch. Here’s to at least another 30 years. 🤩🥳@finchwrites.bsky.social

Well. That was EXCELLENT. All with a running commentary from the little one on who is who and who does what in Minecraft. So I’m educated as well!

Time to “enjoy” A Minecraft Movie. 🍿

This 15% discount off our books ends at midnight on Friday!

Some very few tix left.

Amongst other things I do @lincolnsin I teach ethics to students, pupils and new practitioners. This is the basis of every dilemma we consider. And it’s not just professional life. Core duty 5 regulates every area of your life. No dodginess. Anywhere. Ever.

It’s Easter so it’s pastiera. This labour of love took most of today. Buona Pasqua!

Another absolutely stonking episode from The Britpop Show. Opens with The Dandys banger. Ride’s Twisterella is a new one in the repertoire - and whisks me back to my early teenage years. I urge you to listen (also on almost any other podcast platform but Spotify). podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Episode 5 of Bang! podcast is out on Easter Monday after a break. Not a male vocalist in sight... We pay tribute to Clem Burke and explore one of the most original, innovative and memorable songs of the decade (together with a bizarre performance on Top of the Pops).

Galbraith-Marten v De Renee (Extension of Extended Civil Restraint Order) [2025] EWFC 96 (15 April 2025): Judgment in long-running financial remedy proceedings extending extended civil restraint order against wife/mother. www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWF...

Bucketing down on a run from Deal via Walmer to Kingsdown and back first thing this morning. Went for 10k. Managed 9.15, cutting it short due to the terrible weather. Spring’s over then?

@parkrunuk.bsky.social this morning and another PB 💥. The race against myself continues.

Monisha Mahtani v Vivek Hariram Mahtani [2025] EWFC 35. James Ewins KC, sitting as a DHCJ. Difficult case where H failed to attend any hearing or make any disclosure. Court drew inferences to prevent a ‘cheat’s charter’ in the face of W’s quasi-sharing claim. Summary by Elizabeth Bowden.

NEW EPISODE! Michelle Gomez (Green Wing, Doctor Who) joins Dave and Andy to reveal the three things that scarred her for life! pod.link/1706291698

After a morning catastrophising yesterday (and no Parkrun which would probably have sorted me out) I went for a run this morning. Perfect weather, quiet streets, and my fastest mile so far 💥

Burgers tonight, so buns had to be made (cheese straws in background). 😋

An historical record worth noting:

To all our listeners in the USA. Listening to #BangNuclearPodcast is #tariff free! Episode 4 out now... #tradewar #80smusic #podcast

Since Episode 4 was launched on Monday... Thank you again everyone. #podcast

Just had cause to look up Bros’ Cat Among the Pigeons in order to make a point to someone and, boy! What a song! Remind yourself: youtu.be/sywWI6OhmL0?...

New orders can be made to recover stolen crypto:

DF v YB [2025] EWFC 46 (B). Recorder Nicholas Allen KC. Judgment following hearing in which the parties agreed that it was a sharing case and that net capital assets shld be divided equally. Dispute re issues of computation, inc tax and add-back vs Wells sharing. Summary by @battrebekah.bsky.social

Last episode had an excellent interview introducing me to the amazing Fayray. What a song, what a voice! Started listening to this episode on my way to my meeting this morning. Promises to be full of bangs 💥 too!

Final Day by Young Marble Giants features on Episode 3 of Bang! #podcast. The shortest of tunes but still packs a punch. We love it... @smoxham.bsky.social youtu.be/zZ5YAxLpPRk?...

This really was a gift 🎁. Apart from the terrible Oasis choice that seemed to go on forever, a series of bangers with the best opener I have heard in ages.

Inheritance Act claim in Family Division: www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWH...

The best women - 30 years of joy.

We did it! PBs for both. Harder than I thought on tarmac rather than mud / grass and a huge number of participants. Had some ovine observers who all looked interested in the herd that thundered past them. Thanks 🙏 to the volunteers @parkrunuk.bsky.social

Father v Mother & Anor [2025] EWFC 59 (11 March 2025): Private law proceedings, in which the mother was found to have seriously abused the father, and had disengaged from the proceedings. Ordered that child remain living with father. No order for contact with mother. www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWF...
