I see there’s a ‘storm in a tea cup’, or rather a cup of Claret. It has been called into question in England whether the judiciary should imbibe during the lunch break.
A long tradition of Claret with lunch for some judges in the Old Bailey.
And why not?
They have two hours. I am not afraid to have a beer with lunch, although it is frowned on. Admittedly, some would abuse the privilege and should be chastised in the event it affects one’s performance, such as a judge falling asleep on the bench in the afternoon.
For me it is a personal choice. If I were operating a machine in a factory, then I would be foolish to consider a lunchtime tipple.
It is interesting to note that while looking for an image to accompany this post, I discovered that there was a Saint Antoni Maria Claret, Brazil even has a Lieutenant Colonel Claret somewhere in the armed forces, a claret gnat fishing fly, Ray Ban Claret rimmed sunglasses, and my favourite…
Venezuela’s Chavez has built a monument to house the remains of Simón Bolivar; as some pundits have pointed out it looks more like a skateboarding ramp and is a monument to Chavez rather than the hero now entombed there.
It tried to rain, but barely managed to wet the ground. Now the sun is out.
My kitchen is in a state of shock, I washed the dishes.
Have the rest of the day to myself, only a lesson at 5:30pm and then it will be beer o’clock.
aaah! that’s why those same Judges couldn’t get rid of Abu Hamza and Abu Qatada…
after lunch and their good Claret, they could not remember why we should throw those two out of the UK…
They should only drink tea, I think, for a clear thinking head 😉
