It is disconcerting to me some of the comments that have been made.

The last thing my client wants to do is persuade this court to release him and then blow the whole thing off.

He is not prepared, today, to state whether he will waive (extradition) or not. His mental acuity is such that I'm not comfortable, at all, either waiving or not waving extradition.

Once in a while it can be a bit disconcerting to be so recognisable.

The letters from jail are always disconcerting.

Publishing your writing is a bewildering mix of emotions somewhere between parental angst and walking down a public beach wearing only a thong. [scrub all you want that mental picture isn’t going anywhere] You feel all the pride and joy as well as the fear and trepidation that come with putting your child out into the world. At the same time you’ve exposed a part of yourself that is normally private and while you hope people will appreciate it, there is a very real possibility of a backlash.
You’ve prepared yourself for either eventuality but a ‘no comment’ feels like crickets chirping in your soul.
