A couple of weeks ago my boss, who is of an age with Gary Shaw and used to play for Newcastle's youth and reserve teams, told me that Shaw was one of the best he'd shared a pitch with.
RIP Gary
in London for the weekend, and just by chance seen the wonderful sight (and sound) of the Lanc flying over Westminster Abbey, where there's a Battle of Britain thanksgiving service today.
Tribunal hearings - technically open to the public, but in practice all those who turn up have an involvement of some kind.
Preparation is definitely easier at home, for me at least.
Not for me, in fact the opposite.
My work is quite detail based and requires evidence analysis when preparing for hearings - I find that much easier, and am therefore more productive, in my quiet house than in a bustling office.
