Yopu know I said I’d say if anything interesting happened in my life. Well, be careful for what you wish for. This morning through the letter box flopped a letter calling me up for jury service on the 3rd March.<\/p>\n

Well, that’s 2 weeks out of my life I have to give to the state and I’m not begrudging it that time. After all, it’s part of the contract between myself and society, so I’m going to take it as being an honour to serve.<\/p>\n
