Just a quick update on some posts on this, which is, let us not forget, a published document/thingummy.
So, as regards, the last post: “Tufty The Squirrel’s Road Safety Tips”, there’ll almost certainly be a criminal and probably a civil process – I’ve altered some of the specific details of the post, and removed a couple of comments. Thanks for all the “are you okays?” I’m not going to write “Fine and dandy, thanks!”, but rather “It’s sore, but I’ve been for a series of expensive scans etc. and they all suggest that, almost miraculously, there is nothing seriously, permanently wrong - when one takes the physical trauma of such a collision into account.” I think you know what I’m trying to say.
No, I didn’t get the job in London. Well at least as far as I know, I haven’t. I’ve written it off, although a recent request for information elicited a written reply that the selection process is still underway. I knew the whole point of the job would be organising information for committees, which would then take decisions at meetings held every 3-4 months. Who knows how often the “employ someone new” committee meets?
Soo glad there is no permanent damage. I hope the black/blue/soreness goes away soon.
In-Act, you’re strong as an oak
Get your German lawyers some of those nifty horse hair wigs, will you? That and your witnesses should be enough to take the offender to cleaner.
Random thought: Wasn’t LA Law a great series?
Keep your stiff upper lip,

Liseuse: There’s an oak tree in my parent’s garden - one of the largest branches had to be cut off at the weekend. There’s a link I tell you!
Thanks Ryan!
and JCS: Although some people might feel I should say “I’ll take the bitch to the cleaners”, this isn’t about money or revenge, it’s about principles, justice and making sure that things are done properly (I’m getting good at this).
And LA Law? Is this in reference to the show itself or a particular cast member?
NJA/IAF,
Even Germans are not to be taken seriously all the time. This woman should realise that you simply cannot commit a severe traffic violation, seriously injure someone and then just speed off after making sure that the Brit undearneath the car is not lethally wounded. That’s why it was the right decision to drag her in front of a judge.
Now, put on one of those wigs, say “Fiat justitia, pereat mundus.” with all your dignity and the judge will be putty in your hands.
Regarding LA Law, I just think it was one of the great TV (drama) shows of the 90s. The white knight in shining armour was certainly Harry Hamlin’s character, but you just had to root for the weasly divorce lawyer played by Corbin Bernsen.
All the best,
JCS
