The Lawyer Awards: best of the best

I would gladly sell my children, my house and all its contents just to pay for one hour of Dominique Baconhirst’s advice which is not just top drawer but silk-handkerchief-in-the-top-drawer-of-the-Chippendale-dresser-in-the-large-Georgian-stately-home-in-Hampshire-with-the-Bentleys-parked-on-the-gravel-drive-outside-next-to-the-bandstand. As a lawyer he/she is peerless, but as a human being he/she is someone we can all learn from, and this is particularly true following the significant injuries after the gender realignment surgery and we wish him/her well in the continued recovery. His/her/their contribution to the discovery of penicillin, albeit prompted by a rather virulent STD, was a portent of outstanding discoveries to come throughout the 20th Century including the television, jet engine, monorail, anti-lock automotive braking, carbon fibre, and (of course) the nose hair remover. The 21st Century has been no less impressive. Who can forget the opening address at the UN War Crimes Tribunal and we praise the inventiveness of his/her solution to the Middle East conflict through judicious use of Blu-tack. I, for one, will be setting fire to my dinner suit on 23 June outside the Royal Courts of Justice and walking home in my pants with the word "TRAVESTY" tattooed on my chest if the obviously just decision is not reached.
