On the bright side - guaranteed to get your arms free in every tackle…Anyone in England looking for a recently retired off-loader? 🏉❤️

[Ben Bright @ben_bright2]

Always very depressing to walk through this to the Thomas More Building behind it. Might pop my wig on for the walk through.

Birmingham, Brentford, Manchester and finally Clerkenwell, some week that! Bring back the video trials…..

[Ben Bright @ben_bright2]

Words of dread “you’re in the floating list tomorrow” 😕

[Ben Bright @ben_bright2]

This still never fails to shock me. £371.15 for a standard return ticket. By way of comparison, I could fly to Nice tomorrow for £194 return. But Clerkenwell it is.

[Ben Bright @ben_bright2]

8 trials listed in person in the last 2 weeks, 1 has been effective. Why not just list them remotely?

[Ben Bright @ben_bright2]

It’s been a while… I haven’t missed the tube though.

@UKVolkswagen I spent 4 hours escalating it last week, it seems to me that the best @UKVolkswagen could do was just tell me to keep driving it and hope I don’t break down, ludicrous. I travel the country and have an 18m old baby, how can I take that gamble? They know the fault...

As a @SaleSharksRugby fan but primarily as an Englishman and an @EnglandRugby fan, this is great to see

@SteveBrowne123 Beer(s)

[Ben Bright @ben_bright2]

So today, in tier 3, I went to rugby training, in compliance with the guidelines. We are allowed to do full contact, rucks, line outs and even have a game next week.... but I am not allowed to have a beer with the same lads across a table after training?

@AlexJamesSport How long did that take?! #StatManAl

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

1/ Deny impending pandemic as “a hoax”

2/ Cease funding to World Health Organisation

3/ Incite disobedience to social distancing

4/ Encourage intravenous use of bleach

@TUIUK we are due to fly to Tenerife on Monday, as Jet2 have cancelled flights, are Tui cancelling theirs too?

[Ben Bright @ben_bright2]

@BarristerSecret And then at 3pm being sent home....

[Ben Bright @ben_bright2]

This must be a record. 11 trials listed for 10am, 3 judges, all effective as of this morning and most a full day.

[Ben Bright @ben_bright2]

@Hill_9SJS I had one where I was told that the court had already approved my compensation. I haven’t even been involved in an accident!
