The court is being asked to decide on serious allegations about integrity and conflict of interest. Without clear documentary evidence, the court & jury has to choose between the differing accounts of the two men. This does have resonances from my own professional history, with the main exception that I have a long & growing paper trail in addition to verbal undertakings that were not recalled by one party but were by others.

Shortly off to Birmingham Symphony Hall.

An off-duty security man shouted across the street: Had a few drinks, mate? The old goat being addressed in this familiar fashion was sober, but clearly post-mature & dopey.

Arriving home after a good evening c. 00.30.
