There is a public information film that I talk about before getting into discussion of Miller with my criminal law students. I have been getting increasingly blank looks, so decided to show them it. This may have been a deeper rabbit hole than planned, but I proudly present: tvark.org/old-smokers

My take on the 2026 election results: gender balance, newcomers, the continued lack of party institutionalisation, standing for two seats at once, and whether Daniel Davison really is the youngest MHK ever. edgelawblog.com/2026/09/26/t...

Do not carry a cold beverage in their presence. Politely decline any drinks or sweetmeats they may offer. Keep a plain iron nail in your left trouser pocket and a sachet or paper twist of coarse salt in your right shoe. Enter and leave your chair moving clockwise. Follow up with a thank-you note.

I have had a busy, and very varied, day across research, teaching and university admin, but my proudest moment was probably persuading a locked photocopier to take some paper without needing to put in a service ticket to have it reloaded.
