-pops- Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I will be away for a couple of days this week (perhaps three) - daytime only - as I am attending court, as a witness, I should add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikeychris Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Be prepared to hang around for hours whist the defendent(s) wait to see how many witnesses turn up only to plead guilty when some do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 It's a dispute between two businesses being heard at the London International Court of Arbitration. Too much at stake for people to not turn up :). I'm an "expert witness". I've done it often before - I'm taking a large book to read.

deuces wild Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 What will you be testifying on pops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 When I was working, I was a recognised expert on deodorants, antiperspirants and armpits. I am still called on by legal people to offer my knowledge in cases of dispute particularly patent infringement. This one is a bit unusual as fraud is being claimed as well. Should be interesting :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 :D Can't say too much about it but as well as patent infringement, there is fraud being claimed from misuse of confidential information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never known anyone take a photo of other peoples armpits, especially on a crowded tube!! Were you gathering evidence for this court case?? When I worked for my living we had collections of thousands of pictures of armpits. We also had numerous volunteers who would sniff armpits - about 50 per day. Some of them - the ones without any deodorant - were well and truly rank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Sniffing armpits is something I find difficult to believe, but I suppose if the pay is good then why not... but proffering ones armpit to be sniffed!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
