I had a strong pre-teen crush on gary ewing. God I had terrible taste at 7.

Thinking about things I used to do on sick days as a kid.
That looks class. What kind of stuff do you make?Spending an hour in the workshop before i go to actual work.

I remember being very upset that going to school (maybe even play school??) meant i missed King Rollo, so a good sick day meant I got to watch it
Now i'm grownup I can watch King Rollo on youtube while in work.
Got not 1 but 2 letters from the country registrar excusing me from jury duty
good stuff. Actually, was just thinking about that recently. I've only done jury duty once and wasn't called for any cases. They do a very ad-hoc rollcall on the first day, and seem not to dwell on anyone not responding. Basically, if you didn't turn up, I doubt there'd be any hassle afterwards. Wouldn't risk it though, at the same time.
oh yeah, it's all very official in the documentation. But when you get there it's all a bit informal. Like, they call in hundreds of people and they might only need 20 or 30.The summons made reference to fines for not turning up
I don't understand the hate for jury duty. is the notion of civic duty an alien one? you have rights as a citizen, but some responsibilities too

imagine you were on trial for a crime you didn't (or indeed did) commit. wouldn't you rather the jury was populated by some of your immediate peers (us pricks) as opposed to bored busybodies, retirees, etc.?
for the record, i've been called twice, did it the first time but couldn't the second due to being self-employed.
