Hey Alexxx, don't know if you ever come back here and check in any more... but saw on RoF that you are going to give it another shot, and I just wanted to say best of luck, and I hope this is your year and it will work out for you.

All the best!

I often wonder what's become of people who used to post here. How about legallystrawberryblonde? Anybody heard from her?

She seemed really lovely - wherever she is, I'm sure she's doing well.

I only know that Alexx is still trying for a TC cos he uses the same name on Roll on Friday and he posted there last week or so. I think he got loads of interviews last year so he should be ok this year if he keeps it up.

I'm amused that after not posting for a year on here, he's STILL got the top number of posts, but sumo is hot on his heels after a meteoric rise...!

Sound like some sort of challenge.

Time for a posting onslaught then.

Counsel's advice has just landed on my desk

Said posting onslaught may now have to wait until Wednesday.

I hate clients, I hate counsel, and I hate pandas.

Possibly the only thing I like is whisky.

Perhaps cleavage on ladies as well.

Whisky and cleavage is that too much to ask on a bank holiday Friday?

Never mind Counsel's advice, what about the heavy plate gauntlet I've just flung on your desk?

And... What have pandas ever done to you?

Unless Counsel's advice is to do with pandas, in which case I sympathise, as the subject of Counsel's advice is as hate-worthy as anything else, especially if it arrives on a Friday.

Near the top of my very very long list of hates are the innane criminally stupid.

for some reason people think it is okay to be stupid and that it is a bit rude to point at the morons and make them feel really really bad about being stupid.

It is not okay!

Stupidity is a hidden cost in society and i should not have to carry the stupid by my superior mental faculties.

Stupid choices have consequences. I did the odd bit of home work and didn't fanny around in school doodling penguins or whatever it is the stupid do and that is why i am a lawyer and not stuck being a conductor on a train or working in some other horrific job such as asda shelf stacker.

I have a personal crusade to point and laugh or humiliate the stupid (kinda nelson muntz meets richard dawkins) and to make it socially unnaceptable to be dumb.

I may have to nuke a considerable portion of the planet to achieve this.

anyhow

the point is that panda's are stupid

they are going extinct and all they need to do to save themselves is stop eating poisonous bamboo and get some sex.

but they are too stupid to sort it out so people have to help them, smart people have to waste their precious time helping stupid pandas when they could be curing cancer or inventing a time machine.

For some reason, that made me feel a lot better.

Yeah! Because I'm smart, I get to be stuck here with all my boss's work to do besides my own on a bank holiday Friday! No chance of finishing early for me! Not like stoopid pandas, who just lie there with crazy hyoomans running around them, feeding them, keeping them, stopping them eating their litter and directing panda pron vids to get them in the mood...

Errm. I should go deal with all this post before I start wishing I WAS born a panda...
