Hidden talents
Roger Boyes tells us: "I was once coaxed up on stage and did ten minutes of off-the-cuff stand-up comedy. Amazingly, I brought the house down. A few weeks later, having rehearsed like hell, I went back to the same stage and got hardly a titter. Well, sod that." Have you ever amazed yourself with hidden talents?

i have an almost photographic memory
and can memorise reams of things very quickly. it comes in very useful for lazy cunts like me when it's exam time.
unfortunately, it's also highly selective. whilst i can quote pages of useless things that i read years ago, can i remember the useful piece of law that i read yesterday? can i feck.

Your talent is not having a photographic memory?
That must make my nan with alzheimers way more talented than you.

it's having an extraordinarily good memory
but i didn't want to honda accord it up by saying "photographic" because it's not THAT good.

The only one I can ever remember is
Donaghue Vs Stevenson 1932.
It's quite hard to shoehorn that into an application in rem for a maritime lien, but I'm pretty sure I've tried it.

see also r-v-collins
man decides to rape someone
man climbs up ladder
he is naked except for his socks, which he left on for a quick getaway
drunken girl assumes he is her boyfriend
girl invites him in
they have sex
then she realises her mistake
did he trespass or was he invited in - ie was any part of him sticking over the windowsill before the invite? i love the bit where the judge said that the court did not propose to comment "and nor could it" about his decision to leave his socks on...

Note to self:
When organising next bank robbery, do not bother with getaway car, as getaway socks are apparently sufficient.

Used that once
Former employer was threatening to sue for breach of contract (their standard practice for anyone leaving and continuing to work in the same industry as we all have the same customers). I referred them to Arkell v. Pressdram, via their very expensive lawyers, and heard nothing further from them.
