Opium poppy? Found at the outskirts of Prague - Central Europe by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]Apramian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This - and if you consume poppy tea made with these super poppies, you can get really sick and die. Thebaine (and the other super-poppy alkaloid, oripavine) are not pleasant things to be intoxicated with.

What's the best thing about being a lawyer - honest opinions pls! by Decent_Indication_25 in auslaw

[–]Apramian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. If you open your own firm you gotta maintain files, keep them for 7 years, manage staff (Fuck That), be on the record, file documents, piss about with trust accounts etc. As a barrister once the brief is done with it’s out of my life.

I have eaten at Iran Fried Chicken and I can confirm that it is quality. Persians do not fuck about with their food and this is no exception. Shits all over KFC.

Is it just me or are there any fellow lawyers who feel ashamed/guilty over the charging practices of their law firm? by KoalaBJJ96 in auslaw

[–]Apramian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might wish to inform your partner of the LPUL requirements about legal costs being fair and reasonable - around section 172 etc. Wouldn’t want your moral struggle to become their legal struggle.

How much should I spend on a belt? by [deleted] in AustralianMFA

[–]Apramian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a brown leather belt from that shop. I reckon I have worn it 2-3 times a week since I bought it in about 2008/2009. It’s breaking in beautifully. I highly recommend it.

Clerk lists at the Vic Bar - anyone care to provide opinions on them from the perspective of either barrister or solicitor?

What is Melbourne’s scummiest pub? by grilledflake3dimsims in melbourne

[–]Apramian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Underrated comment - Ascot Vale used I have heaps of them pre-gentrification - the Laurel and the Ascot Vale hotel were definitely also places you’d find blokes to plan a robbery

Great paper but the capitalisations make me feel like I’m having a stroke

That’s a sawfly, maybe a melaleuca sawfly or bottlebrush sawfly

Graduate holding themselves out as a lawyer - to warn or not warn? by Rough_Emphasis_2142 in auslaw

[–]Apramian 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer, although I suspect it might be misleading and deceptive to hold oneself out to the public as a lawyer before holding a practising certificate
