In brief Jul 25

Two things.

Via the UK law students comes this most quirky of stories:

A high-profile New Zealand lawyer has decided to wear women’s clothing to court to highlight male bias within the justice system.

Rob Moodie, 67, arrived at Wellington’s High Court on Monday in a blue women’s suit, stockings and a diamond brooch.

OK… In other news, Peter has organised a Short Notice Blogmeet in Edinburgh for this Sunday (30th). The plan is to have something to eat/drink before making our way up Arthur’s Seat to conduct the first volcano-based blogmeet. If you fancy joining us, pop a message in the Peter’s comment box.

Roughing it Jul 10

From willhowells.blogspot.com:

My usual base of operations, http://www.willhowells.org.uk/blog, has gone on hiatus. I have no idea how long it’s going to take to resolve – not too long, I hope (touch faux-wood desk surface).

In the mean time, I’ll be roughing it in this blogosphere backwater. Once (not if!) my site comes back, I’ll use the magic of WordPress to import blog posts hence thither.

It will be as if I were never away.

Update: Back now!

Funland May 30

On Sunday night I was in a club in Blackpool which had a free internet cafĂ©. I hope I gain a little street cred for not logging on and posting a blog entry despite the temptation. I was down for a stags do – my sixth trip to the town but my first not attending NUS conference, having skipped party conference last September.

Yesterday morning I went to the Doctor Who Museum on Blackpool seafront. It’s much more focussed on the “classic” series than the Brighton exhibition (now in Cardiff) with only one room and a few props for the new series. It was nevertheless good fun and full of classic costumes and props. Original Hartnell walking canes were very cool, as were the Melkur and Bessie (I realise this sounds slightly sad). Certainly worth a visit if you’re in the area and a fanboy.

Here are a couple of cameraphone photos from the bit where photography was allowed.
