The Boys in Blue

You can always trust our friends in blue to get things to cock and in due accordance with said principle imagine his delight when one of his tenants called today to inform him that said boys in blue had just kicked her doors in
following an anonymous tip off that she was dealing drugs from the property.



Well at least his taxes are going somewhere - a new door.

Exam news

He failed, by 10 minutes.

Exam stress

Not content with a baby on the way and a house move to sort our hero has decided to take a whole host of exams. Of course he cannot be trusted to adopt the usual study methods of actually taking a course, revising and then sitting the exams as he is too impatient and so has just booked himself in to take the exams (which are all this week).

First up was probate (i.e. dead people) and his principal occupation during the exam was making sure he was finished first and out before anyone else; what a show off. Then this morning was company and partnership law (which as this is what he does for a living ought really be capable of passing with his eyes shut) but with only one other person sitting it the challenge of being first to finish was somewhat diminished.

To give him something to do he set himself the target of finishing first out of all the candidates in the room. Much to his disappointment most of the people in the room were doing a 90 minute exam as against his 3 hour 15 minute exam and so he failed abjectly.

Tomorrow is conveyancing (moving house) and has already set himself the target of being finished by the time the pubs open (it starts at 0930); good luck with that.

New beginnings

Well after quite a sabbatical your mystery reporter has been dragged out of various dens of iniquity to return to the fray. Much has moved on since last your correspondent reported on our subject and he has added a wife (the lovely but long suffering Dennis) and is shortly to add a small child.
We suspect that the new arrival may have prompted our re-engagement.

To add to the changes he is about to move out of the city and into a small village in the boondocks which will add a touch of greenery to his life and our reports.

To get matters started we were invited to spy on the NCT (National Childbirth Trust) lesson he and the LBLSD attended. Some might say that the NCT is a touch on the hippy side of life and its fair to say that the majority of his class mates are a touch out there (although the minority of the men) with an unnaturally high preponderence of yoga adherents within the group.

Suffice to say that in such a group his natural tendency to being a clown
has rather come to the fore. At one stage the group was formed into small groups and asked to discuss, and then report back, what makes a good and a bad parent. Upon reporting back he volunteered that Fritzl
was an example of "bad" parenting.

He seems to be back on fine form and your reporting team look forward to returning to the saddle.
