So this week I’m carrying out my civic duty and pulled Jury Duty - hip hip hooray! You’d think, jobs oxo, time off work etc but maybe it’s my nervous nature but the whole system just gives me the jitters.You spend your natural life going out of your way to avoid trouble / scumbags and direct contact with the worst society has to produce just to find yourself in a room with someone with the prospect of a stint in prison, their whole family behind them in a court room and your feeling the ultimate snitch!

What amazed me was the polite conversation with the other fellow jurors before and during selection.

“Oh i hope it’s something good, like a murder…”

WHAT! Are you people CRAZY! Others complained when they were picked and then were challenged by the prosecution or the D.P.P. for whatever reason! A load of Angela Landsbury types with their Mills and Boom books thinking they’re in the next episode of Poirot.

I went under the radar of the justice system today but have to trundle back into town every day till Thursday which is a pain in the ass - completely!
Here’s hoping I don’t get picked by the long finger of the law…
