People from all walks of life use the courts, with occasionally unexpected consequences for their noticeboards. Like this one at Willesden Magistrates Court:



It's an unfortunate juxtaposition. Or is it? It could be deliberate. Perhaps the Judicial Appointments Commission will only consider you eligible for judghood if you can crack crack. Which makes sense. No-one wants a judge who is prone to psychosis, has teeth the colour of bees and 'finds' an extra £500 a day by flogging court stationary down the Pit & Crown. Although it does mean that candidates have to get on crack first, which is a big ask for an assessment day that might not go anywhere. It's certainly a step above buying new Clarks and getting a haircut.

All rise

As an aside, the poster for Crack Group is surprisingly cheery, isn't it? The designer may have weaned himself off crack, but crack puns are still very much on the menu. I understand the reasoning behind it. You want to make giving up crack look as fun as staying on it, more fun if possible, and so you use every tool at your disposal.

It's just that the only tools at Crack Group's disposal appear to be cartoonish fonts and a deep, uncritical love of wordplay. The result looks like an advert for a children's puzzle club. And that's cool, except that it's not an advert for a children's puzzle club, or a maze, and anyone who rocks up with their family expecting face painting is going to find twelve chairs in a circle and two hours of banal horror and withdrawal symptoms. Shaking effort. Tales of degradation so pitiful they kill fairies. So ignore that pester power! Unless you want to subject your loved ones to Requiem for a Dream 2: Willesden. Or you've ever thought about becoming a judge.
