19-year-old student Thomas Green from Worcester has asked his trial judge for permission to go on a pre-booked ski holiday before being sentenced next February for intending to supply cocaine: Worcester News
[That report constitutes one sentence]
What is your advice to the Judge, Alistair McCreath?

Given that he may well have paid for said ski trip with money from drug trafficing I'd say lock him up and give the holiday to someone more deserving such as myself

There will be a perfectly valid reason why the judge has delayed sentencing until February, so I should think that advice is relatively useless to him.

It seems harsh- just for poking your business into other peoples noses.

Not something to be sniffed at, guess he's hoping for some good lines, perhaps he is going to Val D'Isere, would explain why you hear braying men shouting "Charlie" to their friends in lift lines...I'll get me coat

Surely he is entitled to free ski holiday from the court as well ?
It is the British way, to wean him away from crime and put him back on the straight and narrow.

It may be that his family has paid for the ski trip. From the Worcester News report:
Quote: |
She [defence barrister] said Green, of good character, would be supervised by his family and his father had entered into a £5,000 surety. |

Let him go. Repeal the drugs laws now.

laundryman, But the drugs laws are working so well. Since they introduced them last century organised crime has almost died out

Has anyone else noticed the increasingly widespread/obsessive (but incorrect) use of "yourself" and "myself" these days?
Their (mis)use has even extended to (amongst others) radio presenters, who quite commonly invite us to "phone myself" or "contact myself." No doubt such presenters have fond memories of their school days, when the teacher would write "see myself" on their homework....
On the back of this trend I understand that the Human League are set to release a remake of their famous hit - only this time entitled, "Don't yourself want myself baby?"
Having said that, I do occasionally use such terminology - particularly on steep runs when I have been known to s*** myself....

John Crawford, I think the latter is correct, if vulgar, usage.

A reflexive verb? I wash myself, I play with myself. So should it be "for one more deserving, such as I"?

pam w, more appropriate I would have thought to use the example,

skisimon,
always prefaced "previous" ie. no cautions/convictions or other record. Until proved otherwise to a criminal burden of proof, we are all of good character.

ps until that pesky first conviction

Surely pleading guilty is equivalent to 'proved otherwise to a criminal burden of proof'?

Laundryman, As we'd say in this neck of the woods, "A knaar man!" It translates loosely as "I know."
Seems my attempt at humour was somewhat misplaced. Sigh...

Oh No, that Human League record has already passed it's self life once.

skisimon, It's previous good character. i/e he has no previous convictions or cautions. In this case, and not knowing all the facts, I see no reason why the Judge shouldn' t grant bail until after his hols. It seems that his potential dealing (note: intention to deal, not actual, which makes a difference) could mean that he won't necessarily even receive a custodial sentence. Depends on the amount and various other factors, including how well his barrister mitigates and the nature of the Judge. Considering Green has been on bail up until now suggests that it is a relatively low level offence as things go.

Also... even attempting to pass someone a joint may be prosecuted as 'intent to supply'. As is someone buying 2 Es at a club with one being intended for his friend.
