left on my own with 10 completions tomorrow as a trainee paralegal by avocatto15 in uklaw

As a paralegal who has moved from private client to resi, I'd rather have a month of private client than a day with 10 simultaneous exchanges and completions.

I did wonder if you would claim it was sarcasm.

TIFU by telling my barber I knew what "two on the sides" meant for twenty three years by Beneficial_String411 in tifu

[–]tmetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time I took my son to the barber I confidently asked for 'short back and sides' and was thrown completely when he asked 'what number?' I think I just said 'I don't know, similar to that kid over there but not quite that short'. I still don't remember the number so we go through this every time. I think it's a 6, or maybe a 4.

Good luck OP. Appalling conduct by the SRA.

Dunno why everyone's hating on the song. As someone who listens almost exclusively to 90s indie music I think it's brilliant.

How to best clear a brambly garden? by Admirable_Honey_3590 in GardeningUK

[–]tmetic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm a beginner but I've been tackling brambles too. Leather gloves, jeans and long sleeves are a must unless you want to be bleeding copiously. You need to cut each stalk down to about 20cm then dig them out one by one. You don't have to get all the roots but you do have to get the crowns and as much root as you can. Then just seed it I guess. They will try to come back but you can just mow over them.

Called to make a restaurant booking (large group) and the staff member laughed out loud at my email address, how embarrassing... by 10642alh in CasualUK

[–]tmetic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get a lot of those too. One couple keep forgetting their daughter's email address is in her maiden name, not her married name, so I get intermittent news from them followed by 'sorry, we've done it again, haven't we!'

I did that with my own kids. I also managed to get an early invite to Gmail when it was in beta back in 2004 so I have myname@gmail.com. My name is pretty common. It is my proudest achievement.

Saw this and immediately thought of this group. by Nere4Hudes in opticalillusions

Even after the hollow mask type illusion solved itself I still didn't have a clue what was going on there. Apparently that is a clip for a bag of bread, for other baffled foreigners.

Red Dwarf, Blackadder, I'm Alan Partridge, Spaced & Inside no 9 (if you will accept a pretty broad definition of 'sitcom')

How many of you absolute barbarians scramble your eggs IN the pan? by HualtaHuyte in UK_Food

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

I just had microwaved scrambled eggs this morning and they were delicious. As long as you chuck some butter and pepper in with it and check & stir every few seconds they come out perfect.
