Don't be too hard on yourself - American English rules the waves

It shouldn't though.

Just as an aside - here is a helpful tip, English solicitors can avoid liability in passing conversations by calling themselves lawyers.

With the phrase "Trust me I'm a solicitor" you can be held responsible for any advice you impart.

If you "Trust me I'm a lawyer" - you can't.

I thought that was pretty handy, the difference being that solicitors are officers of the court and "lawyers" aren't recognised by the British judiciary.

I like that

Does that mean on the injurylawyers4u advert where they say "we're real lawyers" they're actually conning us?

Protip: If you have to assure people you're a lawyer despite working for a firm with "lawyers" in its name, maybe your career hasn't worked out as well as it should have.

Lol - very true.

AFAIK yes, it's a con. Bunch of ambulance chasers app although I have never had to deal with them. So strictly - yeah, you can't rely on those adverts. Maybe I'll take this up with the ASA...

Just finished my first week of jury service. Bloody hell it's hard work. Been going to bed at 9pm (after forcing my self to stay up!) due to being totally knackered. So much information to take in. Even then it caused me a few restless nights!

We couldn't come to a decision after a day of deliberation (first the judge wanted 12-0 / 0-12, then allowed a majority of 10 after 4 1/2 hours) so we all got dismissed.

Just checked to see if I'm required on Monday and it appears I have a day off. Probably due to being rubbish on the last case

recently going through some old discs looking for some Nip Tuck episodes and i came across this - thought i had deleted it

basically it was a secret santa to Crisp Rapper about 3 years ago (maybe 2) just after the time Genji was in the news and Crisp absolutely loved the threads that were popping up all over the place, so after seeing this on this veru forum i create the following

the Document was like a certificate of authenticity and the photos represent what i created and posted, though i would share - me in total creative mode

That school shooting in Germany, how is it possible? I thought Germany banned all the violent videogames

[dotoko]

I presume they're actually saying "Tesco's"?

As in a Tesco store. It's like how you'd say "I'm going to Bill's". Technically that is grammatically correct I believe.
