Standing professor sporting academic gown shakes hands (as a gesture of congratulation) with the fresh doctor sporting a formal tail coat. The scene is watched by five professors who sit at a table covered with red velvet.

Couple of months ago I had the pleasure to present James C. Fisher with his diploma at the University of Utrecht. It was a privilege to co-supervise (with Jan Biemans) James' brilliant thesis on the Japanese trust as legal transplant.

Sanity.

I have never considered him religious.

Religious? Is he?

Hot N Cold by Katy Perry is a fitting analysis of the Strait of Hormuz situation:

You're yes, then you're no
You're in, then you're out
You're up, then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black, and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

Who ever knew that there are so many village idiots in the US. Colour me surprised.

They: "How did it feel when you found comparative law?"

Arches, balrooms, wars, madness day after day.

Some people think that I dislike the left, others think that I dislike the right, and there are those who think that I dislike the centre.

They are all spot on.

You want to post unpopular stuff? Try posting about comparative law. That should do it!

Finally, I am seeing the dome of the St Paul's Cathedral from the inside.

I hope he knows what he is doing. But it does not look like it.

Well, at least I don't have Rutte's job. Licking *that* arse can't be much fan. Then again, Rutte looks suspiciously happy. Is he a pervert or something?

Batman on roof

There's a weird geezer on the roof of the neighbouring building. Should I be worried?
