Year 2, week 32: on guard

TopFirst is definitely up to no good I reckon. Today we had an interlocutory hearing on the wireless case and I needed to be on good form. So I wasn’t particularly amused when I opened my post this morning to find “final bills” for my gas, electricity, telephone and council tax all arrive en masse. Someone has clearly rung up all these people and told them I’m moving out. You’d think that they’d have needed my own say so for this but when I spent the first hour in chambers ringing up these people it seems all they need is notice to be made over the phone. Incredible. The reason I think it’s TopFirst other than the fact that he hates my guts is that he’s just moved house himself and so will have worked out quite how easy it is to mess with someone’s bills. Oh, and the fact that he had the smuggest smile you can imagine when I arrived at court hot off the phone from my electricity company and not looking as cool and calm as I’d have liked.

Anyway, turned out that the judge simply gave directions for witness statements at this stage and so ultimately there was no harm done although it’s certainly put me more on my guard than ever.
