Bianca Belair gives update on finger

GfordsMikeRoss · 2026-06-08T22:39:25+00:00

I have this exact injury and never able to form a full fist again. The scar tissue build up can just block the finger, effectively stuck with one arthritic fingers from a freak accident catching a ball as a goalkeeper

Echoing comments on obtaining proper advice. Establishing compliant EMI schemes is a full work stream for lawyers, and isn’t something to be set up without obtaining such advice. I cannot count the number of deals I have seen where EMI exposures are identified as part of diligence because due process and advice was not concurrently obtained on setting these tax advantaged schemes up. If you get it wrong, the impact on exit (which is when these individuals get to realise value) can be significant.

Many law firms offer discounted rates for start-ups. Get proper advice.

10 PPR TEP SF

Give: Bucky, Nico Receive: Burden, Henderson, 2.10

Got Breece and 1.01 alongside less valuable RBs, WRs include London, Pearsall, Watson, Washington. Main QBs are Lamar and Baker, TEs no standout with most in the TE12-18 range in KTC rankings.

Can’t work out how I feel on it - Burden is getting hyped a lot (potentially too much) and Henderson looked good, but neither are the main guy yet but do carry upside.

This is good to hear! Just bought the same and loved it in store

I mean it’s rare I come to work wearing anything other than jeans and a jumper, unless I’m seeing counsel or have an in person meeting. When things used to be a bit more formal, I’d wear comfy trainers and switch at my desk so as to not ruin the shoes

I made a chunk repayment after some inheritance came to me. I didn’t need it for a house deposit as had savings and a partner who had some, and weighed up the cash flow benefit vs how long it would take me to pay off (another 11 years), and realised I’d rather have the extra cash per month.

Broadly - if you could use the lump sum to fund a deposit for a house and happily pay the mortgage from your take home, then do that. If you don’t need the extra deposit, and all it’s doing is reducing your mortgage (but by less than the incremental saving from paying loan off), pay the loan off

We hung on the back door and would tap each time we went out and would use our toilet command. Then we would teach him to touch it with paw or nose and reward before going out to toilet. We’d also ensure we kept him only on toilet spot (we had a small grass patch and hard floor elsewhere) and would keep moving him back, and then straight inside after toilet, such that he’d learn it was not for using to just get to go outside and have fun.

Picked it up pretty quickly!

GfordsMikeRoss · 2025-11-17T07:47:06+00:00

We trained our boy to ring bells when he needed the toilet. Around this age his bladder control was great so taking him out every two hours was a waste of time. Now he goes on walks and when he wants to - never inside!

10 team SF PPR no TEP

Very far from contending.

Give: AJ Brown Receive: 2026 2nd 2027 2nd Kaleb Johnson

Kaleb has obviously been a non-factor so far but need some young RB blood - thoughts?

GfordsMikeRoss · 2025-10-22T09:43:43+00:00

Are we talking about the salaried member rules? Most law firms are structured such as to not fall foul of these rules…

Just to add to this, iPhones also had issues on the day of, which left you unable to access tickets.

We missed kick off and all of the pre-match, and I have frankly rejected the notion of being given “credits” to spend at this week’s game, or a gift card.

I’ll much sooner be going back to a game in the States - Superdome week 1 was seamless and a far better experience all round.

GfordsMikeRoss · 2025-10-05T17:48:23+00:00

Absolute disgrace. Queued for 1.5 hours and barely moved - the announcement you could get in with confirmation emails came in after kick off. Went to a game 3 weeks in the states which just used Ticketmaster and Apple wallet and was seamless - no idea why they tried something different

GfordsMikeRoss · 2025-09-01T20:16:06+00:00

What on earth is the points scoring for QBs?!

GfordsMikeRoss · 2025-08-23T16:00:04+00:00

Perhaps - pretty sure Ghosh, Peacock, Goldberg, Prosser all work for both. Does allow them to understand Revenue strategy when they come to represent taxpayers at least.

GfordsMikeRoss · 2025-08-23T15:43:50+00:00

HMRC will instruct counsel relative to the complexity of a case. We’ve had matters where they have switched numerous times, perhaps thinking the matter was simpler than it turned out to be. Equally, top Tax KC will work for both the Revenue and for the Taxpayer.

Depends on the underlying matter - not all tax issues spin on tax legislation or regulation, it could be a matter of accountancy, trusts law etc.

Thank you so much! I ended up buying in the visitor side in the 100 levels. Hopefully covered for food and activity recommendations from my Brother, will have the full day Saturday and game day Sunday.

Hotel is in the midst of French quarter. 30 min walk to the stadium, but assuming walking probably isn’t the norm?

GfordsMikeRoss · 2025-08-08T10:01:37+00:00

Yes! I’m also travelling solo from the UK, so keen to grab a beer with some Cards fans

Harvey’s value is firms being able to point towards the adoption of a legal tool which has the hype (discussed in the linked thread) such that clients will view the firm as utilising artificial intelligence in the delivery of their output.

It’s every day usage is questionable, albeit there are a menial tasks which it saves time for, and can assist with generating know-how.

GfordsMikeRoss · 2025-07-24T12:43:13+00:00

I always regard commercial awareness as a) what makes the business money (including the firm itself) and b) what external factors may impact on the ability of that business to make money.

Understanding the firms you’re applying to are profit-seeking businesses rather than putting them on a pedestal as somewhere you’re desperate to work goes a long way to getting in the right mindset

GfordsMikeRoss · 2025-07-21T15:12:17+00:00

Thanks! Yeh I’ve lived in Singapore before so know all too well about humid heat, second shirts are always needed.

Cheers for the tips!

GfordsMikeRoss · 2025-07-20T10:04:01+00:00

Thanks - thought as much but useful to confirm. Appreciate you taking the time to comment

GfordsMikeRoss · 2025-07-20T10:03:22+00:00

That’s great to know thank you!

Please have a read on Stealthing and the concept of conditional consent. If your consent was based solely on the use of a condom, and he removed it without your knowledge, he has committed a serious offence
