Had a nice day?

BUSY ta!
half-year end billing coinciding with tipping out 30 squatters after court last week and an urgent high court injunction. all the usual exciting stuff!

You're like a superhero Swipe.
And instead of solving the crime and getting home for lashings of ginger beer, you get back in time for some Next Top Model reality show.

You're an inspiration to us all (bar your choice of telly)

oh come on
stupid girls pouting and bitching, and tyra making a twat of herself. what's not to like?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 22:45, Reply)

Strange isn't it.
You'd think I'd love to see loads of pretty girls on the telly, but that show has too many memories of a failing marriage.

alright rachel?
I spent the evening in the company of solicitors

I hope you aren't plotting on taking me for court
For shit food shopping and cooking advice?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 22:37, Reply)

of course not *ponders*
I did get an excellent dinner, just from bothering to black tie it up and listen to some pretty interesting people
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 22:41, Reply)

How did the jacket spud come out the other day?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 22:44, Reply)

alright thanks
had about half of it then gave up.

Made up for it tonight though. Delicious dinner
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 22:47, Reply)

What did you have?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 22:51, Reply)

the starter was a bit of a disaster
I'm allergic to fish/shellfish so instead of the tiger prawn salad with parmesan, avocado, salad and sweet chilli sauce, they gave me the same salad with quail eggs instead. Which obviously I can't eat.

The main course was guinea fowl with smoked bacon, on pea risotto with asparagus which was delicious, then dessert was lemon tarte with grapefruit and orange sorbet and raspberry smoothie
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 22:53, Reply)

Sounds fantastic.
Was the drink flowing freely?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 22:54, Reply)

glass of champage at beginning
two white, two red and then port afterwards. No dessert wine this time sadly
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 22:55, Reply)

I really don't care for dessert wine at all.
It's far too sweet.

I'd have probably requested a coffee rather than the port too.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 22:56, Reply)

haha we had coffee/mints as well as port
I went for both :(

I like dessert wine in small quantities. We always have the same Brown Brothers one here, not the fellows stuff
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 22:58, Reply)

Sounds like a lovely evening.
Does this happen often?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:02, Reply)

depends how often you sign up for stuff
guest night on a friday has similar quality food, costs about £12 and there is always the odd subject or tutor dinner going
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:05, Reply)

Twelve quid for that sort of nose-bag sounds like a steal.
Get involved!
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:10, Reply)

It's pretty good
food on a normal night is about £3.50 and usually decent- 2nd Monday for example is breadcrumbed fried brie with cranberry sauce, steak and chocolate cake
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:14, Reply)

You couldn't cook that for that price.
Forget everything I've said about cooking and shoppoing and do that instead.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:16, Reply)

we have the best food in Oxford
apparantly anyway.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:18, Reply)

Well fuck the dried pasta and jacket spuds.
Eat there instead!
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:27, Reply)

I have to remember to sign up
though you are right I should eat there more often
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:28, Reply)

Do it.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:36, Reply)

sorry, not obvious? Quails aren't shellfish, I'm pretty certain.

if so they are a really good firm.

haha I only heard it said
but yeah I reckon that's the one. They're really good, definitely thinking of applying and keeping my options open
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 22:46, Reply)

apply everywhere
there's so much competition, but oxford will make sure you get an interview at 99% of them! plus we're even better than macfarlanes...
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 22:51, Reply)

Yeah
I'm looking at application forms and just thinking I'm way under qualified :(

But you whinge about your trainee.
And all the stupid questions.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:08, Reply)

yeah but it's mostly hyperbole
he will be a very good lawyer. he just asks some dim questions sometimes, but never about the law, just about things like the photcopier.

not really!
just brains.

that and the ability to charm clients. i have the latter, rather than the former.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:21, Reply)

I've been told I'm charming
but it's just because I'm usually quite interested in other people
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:24, Reply)

*Makes notes*
Pretend to be interested in other people = Charming.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:29, Reply)

I don't pretend :)
I like other people usually and am interested so they respond well to me in general.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:33, Reply)

What a nice trait to have!
Whilst I'm not sure I'd score highly on the 'charm' league-table, I'm holding my own on the 'nice guy' points board.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:35, Reply)

haha it'd better get me a job
or what a waste.

And indeed you are holding your own :) also a great trait to have
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:36, Reply)

Nice doesn't cost anything.

Cufflinks. Cigars.
Raising one eyebrow. Knowing the rules of how to wear a tie. Taste in cologne.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:45, Reply)

I always wear cufflinks with a shirt
(Unless it's a casual shirt, obviously).

And I usually go with a full windsor with my ties. What am I doing wrong?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:47, Reply)

Fucking dogs.
And full windsor with a spread collar only.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:48, Reply)

Is fucking dogs a charming thing or not?
Do you suggest the half-windsor? Or some other knot?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:49, Reply)

With a spread collar (I always wear spread collars) full windsor.

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:53, Reply)

And with other shirts?
(Although to be fair, all of my shirts are spread collars)
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 23:55, Reply)

Other shirts?
Mine are all spread collars.

Spread collars get chicks moist.

And try wearing some Man by Comme Des Garcons. Works a treat, very autumnal.

In summer, Issey Miyake gets the chicks foaming with anticipation.

I think the main problem might be the dog fucking.
I tend to go for Lacoste red, it's nice and fresh.

How vulgar.
