Jury Service, sigh!

[Krakkenbus]

I've been on two jury's in the past two weeks (what's the chance out of a panel of 175 people), one trial lasting for only a day and this current lasting all week and into part of next week. Today I was in court for 22 minutes, what a way to spend my time on the 50 mile round trip. Arrive to court and hear that there is no evidence to be heard then sent packing!
Gah its like I have nothing better to do with my time, on the plus side I get to listen to Chris Moyles in the morning which is rather enjoyable.

Surely there are other ways to listen to Moyles without having to do jury service?

Not really, I start work at 7 every day and its only a 10min drive to work. Takes a good hour to get to court though

Do you get your expenses paid? Do you watch Shameless....

Jury service must be one the single most tedious dull and irratatingly pointless things I have ever had to do.

I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy!

I do get my expenses paid, since I work shifts I get my shift covered, so if I'm only in court for an hour I don't need to go back to work.
£0.34 per mile petrol, its a 50mile round trip so it kinda adds up (:

And yes, it is the most tedious thing ever.
