I could call you Rvd and occasionally your holiness if you like?

Me! Just catching up - you lot can talk!

Had a dental appointment this morning.

I'll C&P the whole thread in a few minutes' time.

Is McKeown a reasonably common NI surname? BFF's Tresurer is Laurence McKeown (former Maze prison hunger-striker).

I suspect NC and CE had a fair few helpful emails over the weekend to help strengthen whatever case they might be trying to make.

Oh yes, also the Professor who possibly isn't...yet more incompetentence.

We are used to the witnesses bring a shower, usually the panel have passed muster. (Although Jane Russell was given far too much complaining air time.)

Maybe NC is just asking for a competent panel who are trustworthy and know the law.

I'm St. Cake. My feast day is 26th November. So you've got time to plan for it.

Nope, me too.

MLF became Male Leery Friend at the point SC started on the Darlington nurses.

Yes, very.

20 minutes to go.

He was watching the video in the waiting room, sound on so we could all follow.

Prob can't give details of the next bit but SM's solicitor has just shown her a bundle of papers that has an additional revelation. Not about the panel.

And Drs. And Employment Judges.

Goes without saying really.

The one the school in Private Eye is named after??

No you shouldn't say - I will wait and find out with everyone else

Probably not <worried>

Sounds like a plan.

I would like the added sprinkle of deference, just when being introduced at a live talk or recorded for a YouTube piece say, so that I can humbly emit a twinkly laugh and bat away your respect for my positions.

(I keep cringing and wondering how the woman introducing DB on that video feels now. "Her CV is so impressive and almost scary to someone just starting out like me now. I would love to get to where she has one day") (not verbatim)

Do not listen to this, send any and all intel please.

Nick posted his week 1 summary yesterday. Apologies if it's already been posted, I was last on page 17 or something and can't catch up.

@SexRealistic if you start the next thread, please add the link to the summary.

DOn't worry - its one of their standing jokes not an actual school.

St Cake's School is an imaginary public school, run by Mr R. J. Kipling (BA, Leicester). The headmaster's name is part of the joke regarding the name "St Cake's", in reference to Mr Kipling cakes. Articles featuring the school parody the "Court and Social" columns of The Times and The Daily Telegraph, and the traditions and customs of the public school system. The school’s motto is Quis paget entrat (“He who pays gets in”),

I will say only that it caused an audible gasp.

I think it’s fair to say that there are an awful lot of us who have held the same views as the experts who are posting on here but don’t have the legal or the technical knowledge to feel confident in posting in the public domain. That doesn’t mean that we are not interested in the wrongs of the world just that we don’t have the knowledge to provide anything other than moral support. These threads are invaluable because they give us the confidence to know that the views that we have are not weird and unpleasant. They do in fact follow the law. Thank you to all the experts who are educating the rest of us and one day some of us would hope to stand alongside you and be able to knowledgeably support our peers and colleagues.

It's not an unusual name: Catholic only, AFAIAA, but not all McKeown's will be related:
It's from Mac Eoghain / Mac Eoin ("Son of "Son of Eoghan/Eoin") which are two different and quite common first names: Eoghan is usually anglicised as Eugene and Eoin is Yohannes/John etc)

I’m a member of the Tufty Club, if that helps? (lapsed, but you never forget. Look right, look left, look right again, children!)

And there I was thinking that the secret squirrel was joining us
