Yes, I am exceptional, thanks for noticing. Now quote me where I say there are no other issues at stake. Or, preferably, don't bother as I'm exceedingly bored now.

Those were TWO examples of my own; there were many others swapped while we sat waiting around for hours on end in the jury pool. But seeing as your comprehension is as strong as your maths there'd be little point relating them.

Heh. Last year I got in contact with Helen Sharman, the first Brit in space. She lived nearby, I figured she must be old now and would probably be honoured to come in to our school to chat to the children as part of our Space topic and relive her glory days - £10,000.

My fellow jurors seemed decent sorts but only half of them ever spoke to offer an opinion. They just went with the flow to get it over and done with.

Er, that wasn't my point. You're exactly why I think letting anyone with a pulse serve on a jury is a bad idea. Vibes are no substitute for facts, but so much easier to understand for the hard of thinking.

Twice, TWICE, we were called from the jury pool to begin out walk down the corridor to the court, only to find, when we got there, that we were a member short. The usher has set off without doing a basic headcount. Really basic stuff.

One day we weren't required until 11.30. it began at 11.50, stopped for lunch at 12.30, reconvened at 1.30, restarted at 1.45 and ended for the day at 2.30

Yes, the way the courts worked is so amateurish. When I did my service, in October, it took 3 days for them to muster up the required 15 jurors because the case was going to run for 3 weeks. They then found out that the judge was taking next Thursday and Friday off, which was why it needed 3 weeks.

This is such a yawn inducing take doing the rounds. Everyone has a racist nan, but not everyone's nan had a life as fucked up as Bardot's. Mad, old racist cat lady in her 90s is hardly a USP.

I really regret throwing all my old Stephen King books away when I bought a house in my late 20s and began my 'sophisticated' period. Prick.
