Guru

I couldn't resist letting you in on this:

GURU: The Sanskrit word means "weighty". A guru is a preceptor who had the weighty role of preserving the oral wisdom called Veda. Veda is supposed to have been taught originally by God, who is the primoridial guru. In ancient times pupils staying at a guru's home for twelve years had to learn Vedic hymns and rituals, along with phonetics, grammar, astronomy, metrics, rhetoric, logic, and metaphysics. A worshipful attitude towards a guru is inherent in Indian culture - whence the perverted tradition of Tantra, the word is broken up into gu meaning 'darkness' and ru meaning 'light', signifying the role of a spiritual eye-opener. Buddhism, which denies the knowledge-yielding capacity of testimony, recommends reliance on one's own reason rather than on a guru.
The Oxford Companion to Philosophy

Words to the wise - 'keep your own counsel'.

Professor DisOBEdient is more in league with the devil than God. Where he got the devine light to sack two highly competent secretaries who knew how to use the IT equipment to an advanced level in a computer technology law firm and kept the incompetent secretary who was deemed valuable beats me. Also where he devined the word "transfer" in my contract of employment as a management decision when there existed a contract of employment which the firm drafted and refined is beyond me.

God, I don't think so. Nutter more like.

He is not exactly a walking advertisement for a top 25 London law firm. How did he get the job of IT Adviser to the Lord Chief Justice. Doesn't hold out much scope for the Lord Chancellor or Lord Chief Justice by association. What are they doing to the legal system, aside from wrecking it, is he designing a "privatised" computer, one that hides the truth and reveals nothing about the rule of law. Can one rely on LAWTEL decisions or any judgment in the 21st Century without having an opportunity to peruse the court documents first.
