Phrases such as 'own worst enemy' and 'over-egging the pudding' suggest that Judges don't necessarily have to use complicated lingo to make their point (though one of the GMTV presenters today said that it was all in legal terminology, which suggests that, imagine my surprise, they may not have read it at all).

I have to say, though, I'd hate to have to live a third-class life on £35K per year, it would be terrible. It's not the sort of fate I'd want my wife - or even my servants - to have to endure.

how Heather Mills - acting for herself - manages to smash apart her own case with her own evidence. She'd have sounded more credible if she claimed that the dog had eaten the proof of her independent income of 3 million.

And how she claims to have designed the lighting for his tour - although Paul does give her credit for the acrylic fingernail idea.

Local radio shows keep asking me for a comment!

Thanks for posting that link David. Fascinating stuff. I loved par. 172:

"For 10 months of the near 4 year marriage the husband was touring. This entailed first class international travel, first class hotels, and internal private flights. The husband and wife went on expensive and sometimes exotic holidays. They lived well. They often flew by private jet and /or helicopter. They always flew first class if flying with a commercial airline. The wife had an allowance of £360,000 p.a. The husband paid all the major bills. But that said, their lifestyle in their homes, particularly in England, was comparatively simple. The Cabin was a very modest property. They largely stayed in and did not eat out. They enjoyed riding and yoga. There was no round the clock security. The security in Sussex was provided by the farm workers. There was no live-in staff. The parties did not spend their time on yachts or, in the memorable phrase of the celebrated economist, Prof. J.K.Galbraith, on "conspicuous consumption". They spent time in New York and at 11, Pintail, a modest holiday home. They never visited the Scottish properties."

That McCartney's a lucky bugger: my farm workers simply refuse to provide security duties when I ask them. Costs me a fortune to hire in additional staff, I can tell you.

And this from par. 186 made me chuckle:

"But a flat costing £2.5m inclusive of stamp duty and legal fees and furnishing seems to me to be reasonable."

Reasonable? I should say so!

And here was us thinking "Biker Like An Icon" was the mother of all errors of judgement.
Doesn't do things by halves, does he?

Isn't it time Linda got the credit she deserved. She was no singer, but in a way she was ...

Money can't buy happiness.

that every single person in the office has the same opinion about someone, so congratulations to Heather Mills!

Slightly awkward choice of metaphor in Clause 54, m'lud...
