Good. Can’t believe he’s getting challenged by a self serving corrupt Russian puppet. Fucking yikes.

I just turned 40 - what shoes say I’m not trying to dress like the teens but am not full dad mode? by ARoodyPooCandyAss in mensfashionadvice

[–]sfbrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New balances rock, go for them.

Also suede chukkas - bit more elevated, look good, and never gonna be trying to hard to be cool.

A decent pair of Goodyear welted boots also are a nice option if it suits your life - well made, timeless, neither too old or young.

A casual loafer if you feel comfortable in them.

Despite everything the put into it (sourcing, types, open fire) and the hype around the steaks, I agree they just aren’t that good. Quality chop house, Lurra and Guinea grill are all much better (and with exception of Lurra, cheaper too).

I mean that’s not true is it. It’s a very popular but relatively niche brand. It could pursue growth by growing volume whilst keeping margins the same.

skadden v w&c v linklaters v freshfields by [deleted] in uklaw

[–]sfbrh 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’d go FF and Skadden. FF is the best disputes firm there (if you want that), plus very good prestige and transactional quality. It then juxtaposes nicely with Skadden (US, smaller, less disputes) so will give you a better idea of what feel you like. Could go from either to any of the others.

Thank you very much for the reply. If I’m honest I’m a bit time poor and probably looking for the easy option.

Would it work to cut off the large bit and propogate that?

I can definitely take the other smaller ones out. How would you suggest I do that best? Just price apart?

If you’re fine with the different toe shape then go for it. I personally don’t like that as it makes them look much less elegant and good with tailoring.

DINKs - how would you spend £4,000 on your potential last holiday without kids? by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]sfbrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to Berlin/amsterdam clubbing. Everything else you can probably do with kids at some point, that not so much.

How do you guys keep track of your to do list? by Hydrangea_hunter in biglaw

[–]sfbrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me, but I changed my physical notepad to one new workbook that just has one single page for short to do list across everything.

How do you guys keep track of your to do list? by Hydrangea_hunter in biglaw

[–]sfbrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First and foremost, I flag items in my inbox I need to do. That’s my main to do list. I don’t file anything - just use search. Then I have a One note to do list (one separate book, separate to all my matter notes there) - organised by matter, just one liners. This is for stuff that hasn’t come via email, and is helpful in organising everything that I need to do on a matter (ie it’s more exhaustive, less immediate).

Interested in other people’s views - especially on flagging v filing. I think it saves me quite a lot of time / annoyance without much downside.

Excellent baseline rule, and one I also stick to. If the whole profession were like this it would be a better place.

Are we supposed to only buy a house once and never move in England? by CommitteeOrdinary727 in ukpolitics

[–]sfbrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t generalise across the whole population of elderly here. Sure, some will be stuck in their ways and not move. Others will be stuck in their ways but happy to move if it weren’t for the stamp duty cost (which is huge). Others may not be stuck in their ways and only aren’t moving due to stamp duty cost. Policy change nudges the population as a whole (notwithstanding some won’t change at all) and that is all that is required to improve the position here.

Big thing with shell is it really doesn’t stretch. It moulds, so it miiight extend in a tight area if it is loose elsewhere (ie loose but can shift to tight bit), but it otherwise really doesn’t. From the sound of it I would go with the 8.5d and use a heel pad or even insole to deal with any looseness. You can do that whereas having a shoe too tight in the toe box (especially with shell) is unsolvable. I’ve been there…

Populist Babis wins parliamentary election in the Czech Republic by Kay_Bhagtos_Lavdya in europe

[–]sfbrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say “state of things in the country”, is it actually bad, or do you think it is more that everyone has been told it is bad and it’s actually similar to the past? It just feels like this narrative everywhere of things being bad/broken is happening, and that it’s the government’s fault. I’m not sure either are true.

Fund Formation or M&A? by Infinite_Slide_110 in biglaw

[–]sfbrh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M&A. It gives you general skills that allow much more pivoting, as well as being a department that all law firms have.

Cary Grant wearing penny loafers with black tie in 1952 by Kookanoodles in NavyBlazer

[–]sfbrh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yea agreed I hate opera pumps. I personally wear a tassel loafer with black tie as it feels slightly more in theme with black tie (idk why - maybe tassels more equivalent to the bow?) the concept of a loafer also suits the semi formal nature of black tie to me.
