Or that they have 12 chins?
Oiii 
But… you have a face of a 12 year old, with the hair of a 50 yr old… 
So you need the beard to offset it. banter
Our courtroom list today has gone like this:
First hearing: everyone has dialled in. They can all see and hear eachother. They cannot see or hear the court. First defendant is having a blazing row with his barrister, which we can all hear. Judge and prosecutor have to dial into the virtual room from their own computers in order to conduct the hearing.
Another hearing: an interpreter has attended, when no one needs one. (Literally the opposite problem than what we normally have…) She’s in the wrong court.
The Court has to change courtrooms because another hearing needs virtual attendance, and the kit is still broken. But, the defendant is in a wheelchair, and the broken courtroom is the only one which can accommodate a wheelchair.
We had a lad jump the dock a couple of weeks ago for a laugh. Needless to say he attended the next day’s remand court via live link.
Our Commissioning team managed to put in place Interpreter support from 3 different companies for the same meeting last week. Normally we have one go to supplier on a call off contract - but they couldn’t do this meeting, so we had to use somebody else.
Apparently they confused the words “get a quote from 3 different providers” with “book 3 different providers”…
And to think this is a person who’s responsible for ensuring best value for public money…
