Gifted some trinkets for my desk today by a student who knows my hot take is that The Manic Street Preachers are the greatest band of all time

Genuinely touched by that

Nice of them to include a Richey figurine as well

TL:DR

Thanks everyone, it's been great, but we're going to have a lie down for a bit before the next one if that's OK

In all sincerity, thank you @altlaw.bsky.social and the legal education community

An early trip up the road to accompany University of Strathclyde Mooting Society to the Lord Jones Moot and engage in a spot of judging. Thanks to the organisers for hosting us, and well done to the students, too

The bacon and square sausage roll was essential mooting prep. 10/10, would recommend
