Rumpole of the Bailey: Difference between revisions

** Liz Probert, daughter of "Red Ron" Probert, a left-wing Labour leader of a North London borough council; she takes after her father. As for why Hearthstoke was talking to Probert about change in the chambers, he argued that the fact they were both young would make them both favor modernisation. However, [[All Men Are Perverts|it's pretty clear that he just wants to get into her pants]] (or is it her robes when discussing barristers?).

** Phyllida Trant, while chewing out her then-boyfriend Claude Erskine-Brown, mentions his "inexplicable approval of [[Margaret Thatcher|Mrs Thatcher]]" (or something to that effect) as one thing she's willing to accept, implying that Erskine-Brown is a Tory (of course, who's surprised about that) and that Phyllida isn't.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Rumpole occasionally uses this when he's trying to get something, especially if he's trying to get it from Hilda.

* [[Office Golf]]: Uncle Tom's primary occupation, besides making bizarre comments at Chambers meetings and completely misunderstanding anything anyone says within earshot of him.
