Turns out that when judges aren't making up daft codes, failing to stand down and then coming over all intemperate, getting blackmailed over affairs or smuggling cigarettes and alcohol (way back in the day) they are actually doing an ok job. At least that's what the Annual Report of the Office for Judicial Complaints would have us believe. Dale Simon, Head of the OJC, has been interviewed by The Times about this.

My dad does a great job on his one Friday a month. So I'd have to agree.
Do you spend more time writing the blog or sorting out all of the links? :)
I take it you don't mean his golf Fridays?
Most of them take me about a week to write, because I start with good intentions then get sidetracked by pesky work. You can't beat a bit of links overload.
I suppose it is a modern bibliography. I bet people prefer it to being plagarised.......
Ha! I was tempted to write something along these lines a few days ago. Ingenious and I guess I am proud that without viewing the links I was actually aware of each instance to which you made reference.
I do agree with you, judges are human and humans err, right? But for the love of scandal, there are some things that would seem obvious. Rule #1 DO NOT beg a company for a job highlighting "the considerable advantages of being associated with someone like himself" (Gibbs, TIMES). Then after such an argument, they actually turned you down!!! How dare them! And on top of that they walk into your courtroom. Are you telling me common sense did not stick him in the side and whispered "let's get our wig and our robe and GO'? He must have been ADDLEd.
Yup, why he won't now just go quietly is a bit odd. Money perhaps?
