///and fooing  ABersall screaming who all day den?///Quite a lot of ABers actually know "who day all are."

yeah and didnt notice the careless mistakes

Melford Stevenson was defence counsel ( good god, did he says in his opening defence speech - she is obviously guilty m'lud?)

srticle in the Times today ) Mel - good old melly ! hang em high mell ! )lived in retirement at ; "Truncheons" and kept a black hat in his judge's bag long after the 1967 act

oh and since my posts seem to survive more than 5 mins tonight

and when you shot heem, did you mean to keel heem ?

responsio morrrrrtifera - ( deadly answer) - from the proces  de Jeanne d'Arc  1431 - god that has lasted 600 y, I am lucky if I last 60 s !

The home Sec - really is Lloyd George -  his  grandson - ( who he) and I thought it was Maxwell Fyfe ( who he too?)

those were the days - no mention of the ct of  appeal ( crim)

all home sec and PUS ( who he? den - permanent under sec - not to be confused with parliamentary priv sec) - he had a judicial function which was taken away when we harmonised courts and justice with  the EU ( TTT catches fire on oo man rights!)

and yes - there WAS a hoax call ( 1955)
