    What do you mean hopeless? Can you not understand English or do you lack the capacity to think or make a reasoned decision?

    We all have to do it, if you have a valid reason tell them an you might be let out of it. Don't be lazy :P You might see something interesting and at the same time become a member of the justice league, ask them for your membership badge and super hero outfit at the end if it.

    It is very hard to get out of jury service. My company sent a letter 4 weeks ago, outlining how it would cause huge problems in work if I was not there and they completely rejected it...

    Nope. In my experience it is quite easy.

    Mine too.

    Just do it. You might get an interesting case.
    Also, it'll give you something to do for the week ;)

    they usually refuse and then let you make your case to the judge who will let you off if you have a reasonable excuse ie, work, holidays booked abroad, family commitments (weddings etc)
