Heh, I was greatly amused and then not very amused by that article.

Amused because one of the judges in my favourite jurisdiction once quite famously got a ringing phone taken off one of the solicitors and personally dropped it into a glass of water.

The barely concealed horror of solicitors telling this story was just hysterical to see. It really is like they're welded to their phones, poor guys.

Although I imagine even that judge (retired now, aww I miss him) would raise a quizzical brow at this moron. Power mad much?
