How Are People Feeling Today?

Still enjoying your new career choice matey?

This bit's ok, it's not what I want to do long term. It's very useful experience though, and it confirms what areas I want to be in, should the question arise in interview!

 

[beaumontfox]

So you don't want to be defending the guilty then?

Just noticed - yet another member with a name change.

Dunno what you and the Major have given Jeff but it obviously helped!

It's not about which side, as such, it's the area of laws I'm dealing with or want to deal with. I want to go into Criminal, Immigration and Family. Civil is not really my cup of tea.

I'd love to say, but there's an injunction in place.

Are they lumped together? I'd have thought they were three very different areas

Yes, they are separate areas, however mixed Common Law sets will cover at least two, if not all three.

Unfortunately, they also cover Civil too.

Was rather bored until I read the comments at the bottom of this story - they made me chuckle.

Would love to see what Macky had to say :icon_lol:

In what way? I can't see much wrong with it personally.

The comments bit is ****ing ridiculous though.

I don't see any arguments against it either. Reads to me as an article detailing how the attitude of many towards martiage have changed, which is true.

Currently stupidly chuffed with myself for getting the scanner on my HP printer working properly and printing to it via wireless from my iPhone, given that the printer isn't actually compatible with Windows 7 and have spent far too many hours tonight and last night trying to sort it out.

Wife thinks I'm very sad, and she's probably right.

I thought the article was quite sensible. There have been people who have criticized Ed Miliband for having children while not being married. IMO this is a ridiculous criticism since politicians (and footballers) domestic lives are none of our business. However ridiculous people have a vote so it is a sensible to nullify the criticism. The timing is also sensible since being overshadowed by the Royal Wedding it becomes no big story.

The big story seems to me the lack of impact by Ed Miliband. Within a few months of becoming Leader Of The Opposition Harold Wilson and Tony Blair had established themselves as credible alternatives to the Prime Minister - so to a lesser extent did Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron . Neil Kinnock, William Hague and Ian Duncan Smith never did. It is foolish for political parties to "sleepwalk" to election defeat rather than change a low impact leader. The Conservatives got rid of Mrs Thatcher when they realised they would lose the next election under her and did the same for Ian Duncan Smith. Labour did the same with George Lansbury. I doubt whether Labour has the ruthlessness to do the same with Ed Miliband.

how easy it is to forget what it feels like the day after queuing all day to get to a barrier- my legs feel like they don't belong to me as they don't seem to want to do what I tell them.

Had a great couple of days away, I really wish that the nearest seaside resorts weren't such shitholes :/
