ring, ring. ring, ring.


...Hello. DVLA Swansea, dispute resolution.

Ah, Lord Vader. Mr. the Barbarian in HR wanted me to remind you about your 3 o'clock. Apparently Mr. Simkins doesn't have a lightsabre and asked if pointed sticks would be OK?...

I was thinking more along the lines of a little public humiliation. Instead of killing them, do like in the swashbuckler movies where you cut their suspenders or something and cause their pants to fall down to their ankles.
 
An acquaintance of mine actually faced some burglars with a sharp sword, and bloodied some of them before chasing them off. When the police showed up, they merely commented that it seemed a reasonable response and let it go.

I put it to you that having the kanji for "idiot" formed in scars across your chest is humiliating.

Most cuts in my style of iaido are actually very shallow, done with the point of the sword, maybe 1cm or less deep. That would hurt like a bastard, but likely wouldn't be fatal unless you were hitting the neck, or something.

Having met you at TAM, I am picturing one of these idiots getting his duel and then a door opens in the side of the courtroom and in strides Horatius, a large 'milquetoast' Canadian with an Amish beard, wearing a black Gi with a wakizashi at his side and a Katana on the back with an over-the-shoulder shoulder draw. (not sure if you would wear your broad brimmed hat with the Samurai getup or not)

ETA: then you speak: 'Hey you hosehead, you want to duel, eh?' (sorry forgot one of my Canadian stereotypes).

Note: I am not doubting your competence with said daisho, but the image of you carrying one does not exactly inspire dread in my heart.

I would look forward to the drawing attempt part with great amusement. :)

(The length of a sword vs. the length of an arm makes it impossible to draw from the shoulder, it is only carried so to look cool to movie audiences.)

This, of course, is why I tend to win in real fights. I may not look like much, but I've actually got some game. More than one person in a kendo match has regretted not taking me seriously.
 
Here's another couple of cases.

Massey v. Governor of HM Prison Liverpool.

The basis of the claim brought by the Claimant appeared to be that he had not given his consent to the proceedings in the Magistrates' Court and that such consent was necessary. Further, he seemed to assert that his consent was necessary for a term of imprisonment to be imposed. His McKenzie friend sought to challenge the basis of my jurisdiction. He also sought to criticise the behaviour of police officers who had been involved in the incident giving rise to the arrest of the Claimant and his subsequent remand and appearance in court.

I have no doubt that this claim is entirely hopeless.

Seems to have arisen from the "arrest" of a judge at Birkenhead County Court.

NORMAN OF THE FAMILY SCARTH (THE LIVING MAN) v. GOVERNOR OF HM PRISON ARMLEY

Seems to have been held in contempt for recording court proceedings.

I'm sure he just mispronounced a few of the magic words, and that's why his incantation failed. He's probably Welsh. They can be very hard to understand. Not to worry, though; he'll win on appeal...with prejudice.
 
OooOoo. I can do that.

We've got his response to one of them in the other thread: "it's not fair because the same judge whose jurisdiction was challenged heard the appeal" (that despite the original decision being in Wirral Magistrates' Court and the appeal being heard by a High Court judge sitting in the Administrative Court in London), "judges make mistakes" (which kind of undermines "common law"), and "it wasn't a real court anyway".
