[Gym beast]

Sent the usual crap about"We cannot spare X's services as his absence at an ill-timed point could result in catastrophic consequences" blah blah....


EXCUSED.


Let the fat frump housewives get off their cellulite-ridden rumps and earn their keep for a change, I'm gonna be sitting at a pavement cafe' sipping Moccacino or San Miguel while all those 15stone + Sharons/Geraldines/etc sit around deciding the fate of some rapist ha!!!

[woohoo]

You sound like a well adjusted person. I think it's better all round you managed to "excuse" yourself from jury duty.

Alleged rapist.

[vetran]

[tomtomagain]

So you don't see any value in a jury? And you don't think you should do anything for the wider benefit of society?

If it were a case of feeling one should, it wouldn't be mandatory with threats of imprisonment for declining.

I have no intention of ever doing it, whether I'm summoned or not.

Full pay?

[vetran]

Full pay?

I'm a permie, my employer funds jury service fully. Part of our social responsibility agenda (I got it in writing).

so 2 weeks sitting reading books on full pay.

I doubt they will find a case that any lawyer will want a white middle aged right wing professional on. I think a copy of Jeremy Clarkson or Richard Littlejohn will do it, should get that from the charity shop. Might pull out the big guns and take Machiavelli.

I'm hoping not to get a fraud trial!

Really?

• "One should refrain from murdering other people" - "It's mandatory with threats of imprisonment for declining. I have no intention of ever doing it."
  
  
• "One should refrain from breaking into a house and stealing their telly" - "It's mandatory with threats of imprisonment for declining. I have no intention of ever doing it."
  
  
• "One should refrain from forcing other motorists off the road so that they crash into trees or dry stone walls" - "It's mandatory with threats of imprisonment for declining. I have no intention of ever doing it."

At least be honest, and say that you have no intention of doing it because you don't give a tulip. Don't pretend it's because you have some high and mighty theory about the Rights of Man.
