This month's extraordinary quote comes from the legal world. A poor judge in Galway coming up against behaviour that strained the limits of his imagination. May it be ever thus!
"Who did you think you were? Flash Gordon?" District Court Judge Michael Connellan to a Galway man who ate 50 "magic" mushrooms before donning his motorcycle helmet and lying in a neighbour's front lawn on his duvet. Stalker doesn't think that this behaviour is bizarre enough to merit the awarding of Flash Gordon as a soubriquet to the defendant.
Perhaps the Judge himself was just trying to sound like Ming The Merciless!
