We are sad to report that, after two years of glory, a lawyer did not win the most humorous category in the Art of Pensions awards run by Pendragon Professional Information, where industry experts are asked to put their latest thinking on a postcard. Pinsent Masons senior partner Chris Mullen and Sacker & Partners senior partner Ian Pittaway won the coveted award in 2004 and 2005 respectively, but this year the gong went to a Pendragon employee. However, not all was lost, as Jacqui Timmins of Eversheds won a commendation for this little ditty she wrote to accompany the Gloria Gaynor track 'I Will Survive'.
