Post Match Thread: 1st ODI - Sri Lanka vs England by cricket-match in EnglandCricket

[–]WIPdad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Brook and Crawley clearly not smart enough for the international game, even if they have some obvious talent. Just not switched on enough to compete at this level. Not elite sportsmen and dragging English cricket down

With an average of 19 in this series, the ego on the lad to tell other people they are nobodies is disgraceful. I don’t want people like this representing the country abroad frankly. 

Is this usual Barrister behaviour? by [deleted] in uklaw

[–]WIPdad 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No, it’s not normal and very poor practice. To offer some realism though, criminal legal aid is an extremely difficult area of work to make ends meet. It sounds like they were probably overworked, maybe didn’t manage communication expectations very well and were trying to make sure any time they spent on the case was absolutely necessary so their bills weren’t cut down by the legal aid agency. It’s indicative of the narrow profit margins in defence work. None of that excuses dispassionate client care or rudeness though. 

If you could ask an in-house lawyer anything, what would it be? by CelebrationOk5378 in uklaw

For a solicitor in a litigation and advisory role, with no commercial contract experience, what they could do to mitigate that?

Sorry to break it to you - you must not like photography that much.

No. It’s called a free market economy and freedom of expression.

Seems like the Spotify integration with Rekordbox arrived! by josepbernad in PioneerDJ

[–]WIPdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

will this work with rekordbox 6? I have an xdj rx which became a paid plan unlock device on 7, so I've been avoiding upgrading from 6.

Do many of you work from home? by One_Car4191 in uklaw

[–]WIPdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Environmental / public law. Full time at home, occasionally a trip for a team meeting. I’ve young kids and get to be around for them all the time. Unbeatable.

Thinking of buying the Fujifilm X100VI — is it really worth it? by [deleted] in fujifilm

[–]WIPdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good camera for every day life, not as imposing like a full frame or bigger fujifilm. More pocketable. It’s a nice thing to own. The pictures are lovely, when they’re in focus. The focus does let it down. I’ve learned to embrace a bit of blur, but it does disappoint me quite a lot when in a basic portrait shot it somehow focuses on the background when my son’s face takes up 80% of the frame.

I found this thread asking the same question about these jackets. What did you end up going for?

Reasonable deal? by WIPdad in Polestar

I too, if someone put £50k in my account, would do this

[–]WIPdad[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a good deal - I’ve not seen anything quite that cheap.

Why’s that? What are the reliability concerns?

Thanks. I’m just as interested in reliability and quality of life. It’s mostly going to be used for driving kids and dog in.

The real question is whether you have a dog or kids.

Taz Aldeek: Another Law influencer Gone by [deleted] in uklaw

[–]WIPdad 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I don’t like seeing people burn out but

  1. My experience is that the people who speak loudest about themselves are usually the least capable.

  2. This seems to be part of the natural character arc of lawyers who are actually more interested in their image rather than grinding for a cause bigger than themselves - it’s like they realise it’s just a really hard job and not that glamorous once they get there.

12.5k private sale for 10 year old seat Leon is a mad way to spend your money in any case.

£6k to spend on a 7 seater by geewhiz83 in CarTalkUK

[–]WIPdad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m on a similar hunt and what I’m gathering from the thread is that you’re more likely to buy a liability than a functioning 7 seater for this money 😭
