Jess

I'm here too (about 20 hours too late though!)

Any Oldies around?

I'm here too...I just got home from work....anyone around?

I've heard that it's really good too, angelgirl. And it's pretty obvious from the ending (without spoiling the plot for those who don't know) that there's going to be a sequel. #3 has in fact been filmed already and is apparently going to be released in around 6-12 months time. That's what I've heard through my friends, anyway. Edit: Anyway, enough of my procrastination, I'm off to bed now. 'Night all! XxX

It's dark now but I really hope that it's not too warm tomorrow as we have Prize Giving at school and we have to wear our winter uniform (long-sleeved blouse, tie, jumper and skirt) so we're gonna be boiling and the fans in the hall are c**p!

It's still pretty sunny and warm outside - it hit 24 celcius earlier. Considering that we're not going through a "warm spell" at the moment, that's pretty good.

The Dominican Republic is such a gorgeous place - my parents got married there. I'd love to go back, but you have to be really careful about what you eat and drink over there etc and plus, I hate flying!

Anyone around? I had a completely boring day today on work experience....

Just call it beginner's luck!

About 2 hours....I am an official, certified genius! (NOT!)

It's really sunny here, but I'm in bed so I can't really see it anyway.

I'm fighting with said calendar, and it is very mean! Grrr!

Same here...although I really must get out of bed soon!

Je suis ici....I don't know how long for though, physio is gonna make an appearance at any moment....

Nah, I think we're all a bit quiet in our old age....this is probably the most inactive thread of the lot!

*insert correct time of day here*...guys! Anyone around?

I'm off to bed now too guys, night all! XxX

Hehe....speak to you soon, hun. XxX

I had nowhere to run...since my Mum is really good friends with one of the partners in the practice...but I really enjoyed it...big downside is though I have no free time at the moment!

Yes, trust me, it was incredibly confusing. I got a big file dumped on my desk this morning and was told to read through it, having no previous legal experience, and give my thoughts on it. Luckily someone came in and explained it. Basically, the whole case today boiled down to who has to pay for what.

The case itself was dull as dishwater, but the actual process was extremely interesting.

Welcome to the GO, Dean.

Yeah, I can't mention names (not that you'd know the companies involved anyway ), but it's pretty safe to talk about it in general terms. Basically, it was a commercial case and the original dispute was about some hire costs (ie a company had hired some equipment) that weren't paid. The solicitors that I was with won the original case, but then they came back to the courts today because there was a dispute over who should pay the costs for the case. It's all very complicated and I can't be bothered to explain (and it would send you all to sleep ), but basically one side was saying that the original hire contract had been broken so they shouldn't have to pay the costs of taking the case to court and the other side were counter-claiming. Anyway, to cut a long story short, the judge deferred judgement until Thursday. IMO, it seemed like a bit of a pointless case. It went to the Royal Courts of Justice (a really top court) when in reality it was a £50,000 claim that was a drop in the ocean for both the multimillion pound companies. It was just people squabbling over money. The case itself wasn't the most riveting, but it was really interesting seeing how the legal process works. I think I've got some more more *interesting* cases coming up later in the week, though.

Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't mention it last night. My Mum appeared and told me that I had to go to bed, and I didn't have time to tell everyone that I wouldn't be around today...sorry! I'm on work experience for the rest of the week, but I'll be around in the evenings.

Hey Katya. I'm on some self-organised work experience at a legal firm for the week, so I went on a case there with one of the partners. My parents think I need something more constructive to do with my time, so they organised this for me. It was actually really interesting, and the Courts are housed in a really beautiful building. They banned photos though, apparently it's classed as "contempt of court" or something....
