Fairenoughski!
I am celebrating. Great result in court, bank holiday weekend, off to Nottingham to see my parents, large glass of wine.
Can life get any better than this?
Are you a Nottingham girl? You should have said, I'd have bolted everything down.

She had blonde hair then you'll notice!

Why do you think I became a criminal barrister?
My school friends can hardly represent themselves.
My first week at the bar, another barrister said to me: 'you're from Nottingham, you went to a comprehensive school, yet here you are in London. You must make Nottingham so proud. You should be given the Freedom of the City! '
We do leave sometimes you know 
I once worked in the Torvill & Dean centre in Nottingham. A poncy hairdressers exhibition. Stayed in a pub close by and the landlord went to bed and said serve yourselves and leave the money on the bar.
Wadda mistaka to maka

That's how we roll 
I couldn't wait to leave Nottingham. But the longer I stay away from it, the more I realise what a genuinely lovely city it is. They've invested a serious amount of cash in it. It's got shops, bars, football (the mighty Reds), cricket (the none too shabby Trent Bridge), entertainment (ice arena on every national tour)', it's cheap to live and there is the beautiful Peak District right on your doorstep. I can think of worse places to settle down.

Are you a hairdresser, Stephen?

Are you a hairdresser, Stephen?
No, I paint the spots on dominoes; great job, every Wednesday off - double blanks day.
( These are 'dad' jokes, can't help myself, got daughters your age)
Interesting. I quite like MK. I've even forgiven them for stealing Wimbledon.
Because I travel with work, 'Soulless Commuter Towns" would be my Mastermind Specialist Subject. Hemel Hempstead, Maidenhead, High Wycombe, Basildon - done them all, and they are all shit.
But none can beat the King of Shit Towns - Bracknell. It is such a hole.

I think it's an involuntary reflex when you have teenage daughters. I remember bringing home my first boyfriend, only for dad to crack out his favourite 'pea on the table' line during dinner.
Anyway...are you really a hairdresser?
Girls eh, wasn't I just recently trying to help you wire your light fitting correctly.
This is me and what I do. www.gets-electrical.co.uk
Watch it, roscoff.

Indeed I do remember. You cautioned me that a 'hands on' approach to wires is not always advisable.
I just wondered if you moonlighted on the side as a hairdresser
