Last night I saved a gorgeous blonde waif-like damsel from distress.

Well, I let her into the house (she just moved into the upstairs flat and had forgotten her keys) and lent her my mobile phone. Sp she could call her boyfriend.

Bah. Still, it brightened my day to do good works. I considered offering to let her sit in my flat and watch TV while she waited but then I had a look at the detritus on the floor and decided not, besides, I had work to do.

Also watched the new legal thing, The Brief, starring Alan Davies (while simultaneously trying to work out why figures on a schedule in a brief of my own didn't add up (the answer turned out to be "Because I Am An Idiot"). What impressed me was that, for possibly the first time, they seemed to have done extremely thorough research into What It's Really Like and How It Works, to the extent of filming in the Bear Garden when the lead character would indeed have been in the Bear Garden for what he was doing, a point of such technical and minor nature that it wouldn't have bothered even me if they hadn't bothered -it can't be that easy to obtain permission to film there. At one point, when Our Hero is supposed to be in three courts at the same time, I thought "nah, that is nonsense, would never happen, clerks wouldn't..

let...

it...

would...

they?

Incidentally, I did get away with it on both of those occasions, though the first one involved lots of fast talking and running. Kake asked if I used a skateboard when I was ranting about that one: I didn't, but it's a tempting thought. I think a barrister in full getup bursting down one of the side staircases and into the main hall of the RCJ (as I did) on a skateboard would be a fantastic image.

Except I'd fall off.

Unfortunately on a general level The Brief wasn't that interesting a drama. But I shall give it another chance.
