So people were saying on the last thread that BFF have objected to the proposal that judge sit alone. Does this mean if McKeown is out either by his own hand or the Tribunal's, they want someone else appointed?

NW last few tweets point out that the judge sitting alone is legally allowed but the R team have veto to this.

While the R team seem to say no as a knee jerk to everything they may now be given instruction or reach a conclusion that allowing this to carry on is actually best for time/financial or legal reasons. I am guessing BFF will have a view re delays and rehearing and have already had some good insight into the reaction to and likely backlash re their witness testimony and the scrutiny that goes with this.

I was just glad I wasn't a goblin. Talk about short straws...

I got a certificate for swimming one mile in a swimming pool gala.

I think and I'm sure you will all agree, that it means I can now claim to have swum the Atlantic in February in record time with nary a break. 😁

I only got a swimming the width of the pool one (so much water swallowed during that gruelling swim) and haven't swum since without flotation devices.

I feel more than qualified to claim your mile certificate.

So many Professors on this thread! 😂

Mine appears to have been declined. I’m being discriminated against as I’m unable to identify as a professor and live as my authentic self!

CarefulN0w · 17/11/2025 15:04

May I congratulate those of you who received your no doubt well deserved honours today? Exceptional work.

From NW

So in summary - the claimant would like panel member to step down due to his prominence within NIPSA, a pro-trans trade union. The Claimant would like the judge to sit alone going forward.

Actually that's clumsily expressed. the claimant would like panel member to step down due to his prominence within NIPSA which is a union which appears to have picked a side in the gender "debate" which is hostile to hers.

The respondent says this is nonsense. He has never expressed a public view of the matter and is perfectly capable of putting it aside as a panel member and judging the case on the facts.

There is also a disagreement on whether the judge can sit alone. R says no. C says yes with R's consent, if the recusal happens.

Time to get my washing in!

Was anybody else an Elf?
We've not had any recipes on this ET's threads, have we?

No time for recipes, no time for cooking, barely time for eating - if the Earl of Sandwich hadn't already come up with the idea of hurriedly sticking something between two slices of bread, we would have come up with it while following this thread!

That was an option?

Why did no one tell me?

I got a Highly Commended in a grade 2 ballet exam some decades ago and must insist you all recognise me forthwith as the most prima of all prima ballerinas and a leading authority on the arts to boot.

I expect my Dameship for services to dance to arrive any moment now; please do all start addressing me appropriately as a consequence.

Okay but I have been thinking...

I am not a professional, so when I obtained this amazing fictional feat, I was an amateur, so I must therefore be an Olympian.

I am SO proud of myself.

Thanks to all Professores. You are fab.
