they used to be mocked for asking "What is a Beatle?" so I suppose we can hardly complain that they've found out.

"Not a bad Judge, is he?"

There are some bad judges out there.......

'The American rapper has sold over 30 million albums worldwide.'



millions of them it seems

anyone who's reduced to "starring" in moneysupermarket commercials can't be that popular.

I suppose it is their duty to say whatever is relevant to the case. Although wondering about the reasons for the attacker's attendance probably don't count. I guess that was a free extra for everyone.

a shrewd summation of an altogether sorry tale I'd say

is he not Snoop Lion anymore then??

[mushroom25]

I think he was only snoop lion as an advertising gimmick for his recent reggae album

de Oirish are a bit on the wild side themselves innit ?

Durng the Kray trial - Judge "Melly" Melford Stevenson commented that one fo the defendants - a Kray twin unsurprisingly had only said two true things

the prosecutor ws a poof and the judge was bent-

[sandyRoe]

Were there not grounds for an appeal there, a judge admitting to being bent? I take 'bent' in that context to mean he was amenable to bribes.

I don't think PP's last sentence referred to the two true things, though the scarcity of full stops means I could be misreading.
