    'Bang Bang the lighting falls'

    'Shine a light on me'

    'a Lighter shade of fail'

    'Let's trip the light fantastic'


    Seriously it was a work trip, having a shag in the evening doesn't change that fact.

    It's pretty straight forward - happened on a work trip, therefore employer/insurance is liable. *shrug*

    I'm mostly appalled that the whole case took 5 years.

    Well, okay, and I'm sort of amused that she actually made the initial claim detailing the real circumstances under which she obtained her injuries.

    Reminds me of when I took the twins to TGIF aged 5. My son dropped his lemon on the floor - picked it up and started to eat it. I said "You have no idea what that lemon picked up on the floor - it might be poo" to which my son replied "then they should put a sign up saying no pooing on the floor".

    Oh, and if Lady Tester and I can cause a light fitting to fall on our heads, can we sue? How much money will we get?

    ''In the absence of any misconduct, or an intentionally self-inflicted injury, the fact that the applicant was engaged in sexual activity rather than some other lawful recreational activity while in her motel room does not lead to any different result.''

    It's a question of who should have paid her costs - the employer's insurance or her own. Except for the prurient detail that she was having sex while injured, I can't really see a there's a story here.

    So how many members of the public did she serve at a time?

    And why aren't we told what her house is worth?

    Are her expenses claims available on line?
