Hot Muffins

Hot

I think all female whistleblowers should have a distraction strategy. In my case, I have always had a soft spot for good looking men. Everyone knows that and its no secret. This is not because I am a weak, frail whistleblower with no self control. It is simply that I think looking at the horizon is interesting and pleasant. It also makes us all believe that men are not the cads they finally turn out to be. I think most men are better at fantasy level than reality levels. [apart from my own man of course - I have to write that because of the love contract :)]. This is what I always find at the Royal Courts of Justice. Nice looking barristers, until you actually go and speak to them :). It is true, I have shamelessly dropped my papers hoping that some poor defenceless tall dark haired barrister would pick them up for me. And they do :).

Those days though have passed as have the days when I found surgeons rather sexy. Actually, all surgeons are sexy by default. Something to do with their hands I believe.

Of late, I have been to see Quantum of Solace. I think Bond is great normally but the last film was better. This one was a bit two dimensional. Daniel Craig played the half wounded, moody James Bond. You essentially felt like saying " Look James, just jump into bed with some girl, you will feel a lot better". The only thing good about Quantum is the technology. They copied the Italian roof top chase from the Bourne Identity and hoped none of us girls would notice.

The Microsoft touch table technology was fantastic though. So, Quantum is really a boy toy. Personally, I needed a bit more emotion, wit, and perhaps a bit more sex. Some movies just need to be sexy and Quantum just didn't get there this time. For £6.50 I do expect at least one sexy guy in the movie :). Daniel Craig was not at his best this time around. For all those who want to go to the movies, there is McDonalds Offer of 2 For 1. Essentially, for £6.50, you have got to get your money's worth in the guy stakes!

Its a bit like barristers, for £450 plus VAT you really have to have the complete package. For the record, all whistleblowers need charming, sexy and eloquent barristers. It is an essential accessory. In court, its important to have fabulous views to suppress the legal trauma. I often find that helpful. If all else fails of course, just pray the judge has some sex appeal. But you really need to get to the Court of Appeal for that fine wine effect :).

For anyone who doesn't know, Outer Temple Chambers tend to grow dashing barristers in their large factory. All male barristers there apparently have an abundance of charm, are debonair and cause most women to faint. I have no idea whether female clients who faint can fall straight into their barristers arms but I suspect they have clerks to catch those women. That's no bad thing of course because the clerks are often more dashing than the barristers. It is said that the secret of their success is large quantities of chocolate eaten before every court hearing. Outer Temple Chambers have cleared up at all the awards. There is a reason for that - its because all the men there have out of the world sex appeal. Seriously, if you set foot in the Chambers, I am just positive there is a oestrogen spike. Not that this has been measured in detail of course.

Three of my friends discovered the following seriously hot muffin at Outer Temple Chambers. Andy Spinks is apparently his name. By the way, he is a silk, this means that he is sexy by default. QC by the way stands for "Quite Cute". That's just for Lord Chancellor's records. There is no record of his cloak gliding speed as yet but give it time. We ask the question, have any women been able to concentrate in the presence of Andy?! He is likely to have caused atrial flutter, oestrogen overload, hot sweats, wonderbra dysfunction - and that's just at the court door.

The question we all need to ask is whether Andrew wears Saville Row Suits :).

Andrew Spinks QC
Legal 500 "“Pivotal to chambers, earning acclaim for his energy, commitment to client care and above all his superb litigation judgement”
In my view " Seriously Hot Stuff"

Anyway, for me there is always Colin Firth in Noel Coward's Easy Virtue to look forward to :)

Hi Rita

Nice to see you're back, haven't seen Solace but I have just watched the new Indie film, got it from woollies for a song, may as well get the bargains when you can.

Good film, definitely a boy toy.
