That thread's a bit deadI was just accidentally homophobic to a tutor. I said I was gay-positive, and then amended that to 'gay not HIV' carrying on a joke from last gay-drinks. Sadly I forgot she hadn't been there, so what she heard was just a horrible stereotype falling from my lips. What stupid things have you done recently?

I regularly make silly jokes when giving lectures and seminarsand most of them either go over my students' heads or else just aren't funny. I'm hoping it's just because I use very old references - they don't know who Robert Redford is!

given up on fire and stone and much pink wine with the girls from my old jobin favour of advising a client on this little beauty:
whether the landlord can recover the costs of preparing and serving a schedule of dilapidations if there is no express provision in the lease (it is at best ambiguous) and also whether part 36 costs are recoverable if the claim is settled prior to the commencement of proceedings.
