Tomato , Tomatii

Plural idiocy while waiting for the water for my tea to boil: has anyone else ever thought about...

Patio ... Patii?
Casio... Casii?
Ratio... Ratii?
Fellatio... Fellatii?
Mario ... Marii? (Is it possible to choose to be two Marii instead of Mario and Luigi at the same time?)
Impresario ... Impresarii?

And, I thought: "Has one ever tried to analyse the sum total of all of Chief Justice Li's Ratii Decidendi?"

I've also discovered that Ribena tastes good with Earl Grey tea. Cold of course.

Freshfields Open House Event

Spent the better part of yesterevening at Freshfields Bruchkhaus Derigner mingling and chit chatting with partners and lawyers. Had a nice time, because the hor d'eavues were yummy. And their orange juice was Tropicana and not that mediocre Mr. Juicy stuff.

I also got a nice pen that says FBD on it.

One of the partners told everyone about how he once lent Richard Branson a pound to go on the underground, and he never paid him back.
