Mandy in Listing

Fiddler of Family Court fixtures since 1993. Will disregard the 26 week Rule for a bottle of Bristol Cream. Bane of @BrendatheUsher1's life. Happily retired.

Did you know, it takes 150 to 200 years for a plastic bag to breakdown completely, yet it takes some of my judges only one minor inconvenience?

Check your pagination, dears. For my sake.

🎶✨ "Oh, Mandy..." Today marks 50 years since Mandy reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, capturing hearts across the globe and solidifying its place in music history! ❤️🎤

Cheers to the song that started it all—because 50 years later, Barry is still making the whole world sing! 🥂

Cusworth just leaned over my counter and told me that in Norway “up and not crying” is a fairly common response to “how are you”.
Advocates are mandated to adopt this new Wellbeing Initiative forthwith. We’ve no budget for anything else, dears…

Mrs Justice Knowles if you lot don’t start trying to sort things out nicely.

HMCTS Family breakfast meeting today. President starts with an icebreaker; if you were a chocolate bar what would you be and why?
Voice at the back: “I’d be a green Aero coz I’m minted”
Pres: “serious answers only please, Nicholas.”

I remember him being called to the Bar. Back in the early 90’s we’d heckle him as he walked by our counter. “Keith, Keith! Show us your teeth!” we’d cry. A flash of those gnashers and he could give any one of us the fanny gallops.

[Brenda the Usher @BrendatheUsher1]

We’re all of a flutter here, dears.
Quite taken with the very delicious Hugo Keith KC.
Plainly on top of his brief (if you know what I mean).
I didn’t tell you, but @MandyinListing just can’t choose between the dreamy Hugo and super equerry Colonel Johnny in his sexy little kilt

[Mandy in Listing @MandyinListing]

You’re not getting an FDR before then, dears. Hope they bring out the good Sherry.

[Mandy in Listing @MandyinListing]

As I bathed in Sherry at the @FamilyLawBar Dinner last night I couldn’t help but think how me and @BrendatheUsher1 have grown to resemble a youthful Patricia Routledge and Julie Walters. One young man was desperate to know if he was on my List. Must’ve been my frock…

[Mandy in Listing @MandyinListing]

@JacobusJudex @FamilyLawBar I see what you did there, dear 😉

[Mandy in Listing @MandyinListing]

You’ll have to forgive my silence, dears. Now hospitals are taking nonessential patients again I’ve been able to finally have my hip replacement. Hoping Handsome Barrister will help me with my physio after the @FamilyLawBar Dinner. Even been and got myself a spray tan.

As someone who is used to working for a terribly inefficient service with woefully long waiting times, might I suggest someone simply puts wheels on the catafalque and wheels Her Majesty along the queue?

My Silks going through security on a Friday afternoon. Almost there, dears. Keep those submissions brief.

[Mandy in Listing @MandyinListing]

The real question is why aren’t you already, dears?

I mean, who doesn’t look good in Silk, dears? Hats (but not masks) off to all those who’ve behaved long enough to get upgraded. And the ones who didn’t, we love you all the more for it. What a wonderful community we’re all a part of.

Sherry Christmas x

I’ve DM’d you directions to my speakeasy, Woody.

[Mandy in Listing @MandyinListing]

Everyone should #BeMoreMandy, dears.

[Mandy in Listing @MandyinListing]

Well I must say, I’m rather looking forward to a few glasses of Sherry at the #familylawawards tonight, dears. Handsome Barrister has already tipped me the wink so if I slip out early, you know why. Do keep an eye on Brenda for me. She gets a bit rowdy after half a lager.

[Mandy in Listing @MandyinListing]

I know our President is rather keen on transparency, and rightly so, but he’s asked me to clarify that nothing less than 100 denier will do. One still needs to preserve one’s modesty, dears.
