Not for the first time Obiter has been reminded of just how entertaining electronic mail can be. Out of the clear blue ether came a missive from a law firm somewhere in the north-east of England with the subject heading of 'flu jabs' and labelled with the ominous words, 'Importance: High'. The e-mail then went to alert Obiter that the sender had 'just had the clinic on the line' (a statement that strikes fear in the heart of any journalist) 'and I have to fax over consent forms to them - TODAY if you are in, TOMORROW first thing otherwise'. Don't worry, the forms are on the way.
