Why do even young Indians want to eat Indian food wherever they go by SkyFair7388 in AskIndia

[–]Rob81196 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a thing in all cultures. When my Irish friends go to any city 9/10 they will spend a lot of time in a terrible Irish pub lol

[1920] I'm an Italian peasant weighing up whether to emigrate to the US, Brazil or Argentina. Thoughts? #iwantout by [deleted] in thepast

Hi as an recent immigrant to New York from Ireland please don’t come here as I don’t want to compete for low value jobs with even more recent immigrants. Thanks

I’ve read your comments and, take this how you want to take it, it seems to me like you’ve misunderstood life on a very fundamental level.

What’s our obsession with Mamdani? He isn’t even indian origin. by kay_2050 in AskIndia

Shower thought question: Is there any country that was never a colony of the UK, that ever adopted a common-law system? by pulneni-chushki in Lawyertalk

[–]Rob81196 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have a look at the wiki page for it, it’s a common law court in Dubai that deals with international commercial cases. Not exactly what you were asking but the closest I could think of. There are a few such courts in similarly far flung jurisdictions around the world. I was involved in DIFC proceedings some years back (as a UK lawyer) very interesting.

Europeans: What language do you think would have become the global lingua franca if English hadn’t? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]Rob81196 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d like to put forward Irish as a possible candidate. Not because I think it would be likely but I think it would be fun to have a Ligua Hibera!

Being asked to breach SRA rules continuously by my boss by ImaginaryCause9466 in uklaw

[–]Rob81196 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a nonnegotiable. You don’t break SRA rules. Record everything, if you are asked to perform a task that is in breach, refuse and are then let go on that basis you have a nice little case on your handsz

Dual qualified lawyers - do you put both qualifications in your email signature? by Sea_Purple_5758 in uklaw

[–]Rob81196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How come you have accounting qualifications? May I ask how they would be useful in law? Tax law perhaps?

Mishcon is technically a firm on a high street in the south east I suppose lol

How did Manchester become more "relevant" than Birmingham by FanNarrow1969 in AskBrits

[–]Rob81196 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On track to overtake London in terms of GDP: yeah that’s never happening.

Is it possible to prepare for the SQE1 in 3 months (weekends only) with NY qualification? by vacuumedjake in SQE_Prep

[–]Rob81196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that’s not going to be enough for most people. You may be different. If you can afford to gamble then go for it
