they took a bit of ligament from the back of the leg, threaded it through the knee joint, and secured it to the front. He's got lovely long scars all the way down the front of both his back legs now. Bless him.

i've settled a £500,000 terminal dilapidations claim, drafted Instructions to Counsel to represent my client in court at a hearing in december, served a notice requiring possession to boot out some random tenant, and dictated the trainee's appraisal.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 11:46, Reply)

hardly!
more translates as: after a couple of months of throwing very technical chapter and verse at him, got the landlord to suck it for his £500,000 claim, drafted a deed of settlement and release, and told my client (who would have given in and paid without my robust stance) to pay the miniscule amount that we did concede.

instructions to counsel takes AGES. nobody who has never had to do it could concede the old-fashioned rigmarole. but it requires an in-depth knowledge of the case and, in this matter, 3 years of docs and correspondence.

not yet, but if they don't fuck off in 2 months' time, i will be making them homeless. but they can just rent somewhere else, they have good jobs.

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 13 Oct 2011, 12:05, Reply)

that's perfectly normal in legal docs
it's because commas or similar can lead to arguments over interpretation.

eg i have one at the moment where it clearly means: rent payable monthly on the last day of each calendar month. if you fail to pay it the whole quarter falls due with interest being calculated from the relevant quarter date.

the fact that the dumbass who drafted it put commas around the "with interest" means that the other side are now arguing that the whole rent is calculated from the quarter date, not just the interest. this is very important as to who is liable for payment, given what happened between the quarter date and the last date of the month. and the rent at stake is £1,375,000.

if there had been no commas, they could have had no argument...

True story, if you want you meat 'blackened', the best thing to do is cover it in yoghurt with any sort of flavouring you want (or even just nothing).
Aside from experiance on this one, Heston Bloomingtile did an experment and the yoghurt cuts deeply into the meat with a lower burning temprature so chars more. But if you di it just-right, it doens't go bitter, so you get the perfct 'blackened' meat.

I won't be doing anything too complicated with it so it should be ok.

Your spicy chorizo past intrigues me
It sounds like you used to be a flamenco dancer but were forced to leave that life behind after a crime of passion.

I am also considering buying a new sofa for the winter.
One I can snuggle on when it's cold outside.

I wish we had a sofa
I miss snuggling up on a cold afternoon.

We're so fucking decadent that we have three sofas.

We used to have a sofa, but we eated it.
We haven't got the room for a sofa anymore. *sadfaces*

My current sofa is ok but not really snuggly.

Snuggly sofas ftw.

When we bought ours I lay down on both of them to ensure I fitted

I bought mine when I was single.
I went with the intention of getting a black leather one, but ended up with a cream coloured fabric job with maple trimmings because when I sat down on it, it was the comfiest thing ever.

When I moved in with Sweary her immediate thought was "I can't wait to be ill so I can spend all day lying on that couch". It's now known as the poorly couch.

As you know I sleep well on that sofa and I'm not a small lady.

The arms being softly curved help, I think.
You can get your head at a perfect angle and then stretch out.

If she's on the cream sofa, I'm guessing she's more confident.
Confident enough to trust a fart, anyway.
