it's pretty patronising

How often do you lose?

( Peej, Wed 16 Apr 2014, 15:17, Reply)

i don't think i've ever lost
almost all cases settle, so some are better results than others, but the client always gets something. usually we do much better than the other side, but that's because we'd never ever advise someone to waste money on pursuing something hopeless.

So how did this guy lose then? Did he advise someone to waste money pursuing something hopeless?

( Peej, Wed 16 Apr 2014, 15:26, Reply)

basically yes
he was pushing for something unrealistic. i explained why it was pointless and he caved.

So he's shit?

( Peej, Wed 16 Apr 2014, 15:30, Reply)

it depends
he might be shit. he might have an unreasonable and unrealistic client. he might be trying it on knowing full well he'd have to cave. it all depends. but if you know your case is a shit one, you only let the client get so far, unless they are absolutely adamant they want to try regardless. otherwise they are just wasting money, and that's not good.

Oscar did it though right?

( Peej, Wed 16 Apr 2014, 15:39, Reply)

i think so, aye
whether prison is the right sentence though, i don't know. he's got to live with it for the rest of his life, and he doesn't seem like he's a danger to anyone else. make him do hours of good works instead maybe. i don't know.

If its true that he got angry with her and shot her then I would say he's pretty dangerous

Maybe but is it as rude as "Northern Ginger Mess" or "Fat Psycho Cunt" or even "Sucks About Bins"

( Peej, Wed 16 Apr 2014, 15:17, Reply)

it's all about the tone/intent
so yer. he was an oldschool solicitor, the type who thinks that "gels" shouldn't be out of the kitchen
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 16 Apr 2014, 15:19, Reply)

Well he's right isn't he?

( Peej, Wed 16 Apr 2014, 15:19, Reply)

( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 16 Apr 2014, 15:20, Reply)

Judging by the cable chat up there, he absolutely is, in this case.
