uploaded a couple of piccys from my beloved 7610
*oooooh*

'secretly' took this piccy on wednesday's [16 february 2005] supervised court visit to moot hall (overflow court)


so grand. looks better than the magistrates court & the crown court!!!
***
lemme tell a granma story first..... :p

16 feb, took the metro to monument with hsemate cy and met eme standing outside fcuk. anglyn arrived soon after that. on our way to magistrates court on pilgrim street, we met andrew, who like us, was not too sure where exactly on pilgrim street was the magistrates court. we ended up following these few people who were in suits and carrying a lotta files on the other side of the road and saw them walking in this door next to the police station. *yippeee* we found the magistrates court!!! :)

we were there since about 9.20am and we waited for quite some time before we saw graham bartlett walk up the stairs and towards us. apparently we were supposed to go to the moot hall. "does anyone know where the moot hall is?" "it's behind the central station"

right... so off we all went, into the freezing cold and in heels (for the gurls) all the way to the central station and still not seeing any signs that say 'Moot Hall'. andrew and anglyn went to the tourist information counter at the central station to ask for directions. they came back and showed us this map, pointed and said "we are here... and the moot hall is there..." *swt* the moot hall is near the crown court!!! and off we went towards the quayside... by then, my toes were frozen that i could hardly feel them anymore! :p

finally got to the moot hall and lo and behold! chris rose in wig and gown!!! *oooh* he joined up the rest of us, graham bartlett's group and briefed us on what's going to happen today... entered the courtroom... and the rest is in my report. :p kinda disappointed though cos we didn't really get to see chris rose in action... his case was adjourned. BUT, me, eme, cy and esh went off to chinatown for some lunch... and...

*oooh* newcastle's chinatown finally has an arch!!!


after lunch, we went to starbucks... and we stayed there for a veryyyy loooong timee! only came back home at about 6pm...

checked my uni email and i saw this...


how very nice... :p

SIX MILLION POUNDS!!! oh yeah, it was imported all the way from CHINA too!

hmm, i would say it looks grand and we can now boast that newcastle's arch looks better than the london one... BUT SIX MILLION CRAZY POUNDS @ 42 MILLION RINGGIT MALAYSIA is overdoing it...
