It’s 1998 and Parliament is supreme

Blair decides it’s a good idea to give the other constituent nations of the UK more rights

Unfortunately, Her Majesty’s Monkey’s Paw was left lying about in the Houses of Parliament (tut tut)

Now, the citizens of the other nations have literally de-evolved into Homo Erectuses

What happens to the development of UK law?

Key moments are

1. Scottish independence ref
2. Brexit
3. Constitutional reform Act 2005
4. Birth of the UK law subreddit
5. Gordon Brown as a PM from Scotland

That’s the benefit of El PC

Asking cuz that’s the firm I wanna join

Legal cheek should list that as a stat

The Botfly

I have read some of the other threads, just posting for something a little more personalised

Did PGDL last year, it was fine

Onto SQE this year, and I’ve not done any precourse prep. My plan was to just start in Sep, do SQE1 in Jan and SQE2 in April/May

I’m not self studying, I’m at a conversion course provider

Obviously the earlier you prep the easier, but is the SQE so hard that’s it’s essential I just read the textbooks for the SQE content I’ve yet to cover now, or can I wait til the course starts and just proceed as per the uni timetable?

Also, is the general consensus to just quickly make notes on all the content and then maximise practice qs under exam conditions until the SQE itself?

May the force be with someone else

I put in the KCD2 disc, and then KCD2 comes onto the screen

Am I the first to discover this?

New player cuz ps plus made it free

Used to play in 360 generation, then only ever played em when they became free

Blops 4 was last COD I played

When I run and gun, I get hit from all kinds of angles consistently. That happened in previous CODs too, but there were defo times you could run around and shoot and do well, but now I feel like you get punished for that

Now I just play slow, mount to lower my profile, and hold down lanes. It’s way more effective, but it doesn’t scratch my run and gun itch (I normally play battlefield and hoped in CoD that I wouldn’t have to think so much to do well)

I find it odd cuz I swear CoD was just the fun, accessible game, but now I feel like I gotta sweat it

I do wonder if it’s just that there have been so many FPSs that we have cracked the code for the optimal way to play, in which case, fair enough

Still, I’m surprised those days are gone

His latest videos have attacked the industry and slop

This is a good funny game

I think he could do a great video on it with his style of humour and analysis of games

Good news!

The Attorney General has read the FIFA rule book, and learnt that Infantino, hater of rule following, has put a new rule that says if a quarter of a firm or chamber’s lawyers are sacrificed, then that country where the firm/chamber is based will automatically win the World Cup

It’s no doubt just a long term strategy to kill off any lawyers who could help prosecute FIFA corruption, but who cares

We all have people we don’t get on with, but would you commit the sacrifice to get that win?

Hated that we lost yesterday but didn’t want to go all fair weather. My view was this team and manager got us here, we had a good time on the way, sometimes you lose

Now, considering Kane won’t be at this level in 4 year’s time, and how close we were this time around, I’m just crushed

I’m considering wearing a fragrance daily to become memorable

Every time a client smells black orchid, maybe they’ll think of me and give me work (total exaggeration and way too optimistic but more or less the premise)

Worst comes to worst, it can’t suck to smell good

Are there any clients/colleagues that you could recognise by smell?

Not the GOAT, but ever dependable and always there

Bonus points if they drink Ribena

This 8th day is being called the “Jones Day”

(Jones Day is a US law firm, presumably crazy hours, no offence to Jones Day and its solicitors, you do you)

He needed help with England’s defence

I had a dream I started my TC, but no one was ever in the office, so I went to the top floor to my private cubicle, which was massive and had a wardrobe

My mom kept coming in and looking thru the clothes, suggesting things for me to wear, which annoyed me because I wanted to work, except no one was in, so I had nothing to do

My dead friend was somehow alive and a fellow trainee, I didn’t question it. One night we stay up in the office all night and just chat. There is one associate who stayed late too, who I recognised from my vac scheme

She says since we are last, we have the key which auto locks everything

I click on the lock button by accident, and everything starts to lock and turn off. I click on it again, and a bunch of relieved lawyers walk out the bathroom. They were scared they’d be trapped there all night.

Now just me and my friend are left. We spot gunmen who are about to enter the building. We freak out and run into a sideroom. We notice that the sideroom is quite long and narrow, and follow the passage. It opens up to a larger space (like a chimney but wider). We climb up by jump kicking left and right, until we get to a higher area, which grants us a view from the glass roof. We wait in upper area, and hear the gunmen. There are 3 of them. 2 leave, unable to find us, but one curious gunmen adopts the same method as us to climb up. Fortunately, to keep his hands free, he chucks his pistol up. I pick it up, peek down, and shoot him. Easy peasy.

I go down and kill the rest

I climb back up, and me and my friend climb out the glass roof and down to ground level. It’s busy, but we act normal and no one questions us. Even though it’s like 3:30 AM, people are sitting outside restaurants, drinking, you know, typical nightlife stuff

For some reason, we believe if we call the police and wait, they will misunderstand the situation and we will be jailed for murder. We make our way to my garage, but paranoia sets in. We start to run and look suspicious. The police give chase

We run faster, and manage to get to my car. We put on sunglasses and caps, so the cameras don’t recognise us. We drive to a seaside resort and debate when to go to a lawyer, to explain our story and give all the evidence to the police. I wake up, and decide to post this before going on a morning run.

What’s your most unusual lawyer dream, and did it come true? I hope mine doesn’t
