Burgey

hey, i was very busy with christmas and cricket but now i’m back

right now i’m a clerk at a place on mainly conveyancing/estates... don’t get me wrong, the people are great, but i’m an active mind who likes to be challenged and think, and otherwise is bored half to death by conveyancing and estates, heh. really want to get out, it’s boring and not what i want to do, so i am looking to find work in different law

now

my goals are to practice law helping those who are less well off or can’t help themselves, and people in situations where they’re taken advantage of; i’d love to one day go after companies, institutions, etc, that crush the average guy; and after that, to rep the good guys in parliament

so i am hunting work in any area other than what i’m in, but greedily i’m on the hunt for something more involved than just opening and closing files; though that’s the second priority to work in literally any other area of law

tldr anything other than what i’m doing now

Are you not on WhatsApp anymore?

It probably is time to put the Chennai jokes to rest mate.

Hello mate. I hope you're well. I'm doing some witness familiarisation training which involves mock cross-examination of a witness on a subject they're passionate about. He's chosen Aussie rules football. Got any thoughts on interesting angles of attack?

People doing this training will often offer a football-related subject, eg, Manchester City. I might go down the route of (a) you're not a real fan - where's your season ticket? (b) you're a fair weather fan - where were you when they were ****? (c) you're desperate to spent time away from your wife and kids; (d) football fans are all racists / antisemites / etc.

I imagine a lot of these might also work with Aussie Rules, but it's a bit of an away fixture for me. Any interesting angles would be appreciated!

I love you buddy, but it would have been quickly replaced by a t-shirt bearing this picture:

It's all right mate! I appreciate the effort! It was very sweet of you!

No I never got it

Why's Khawaja the pillow?

You are on.

No problem mate. Never let a little spat get in way long term. Appreciate the message. We may get rolled cheaply but today is probably the day we should be getting a score. Sun out at Headingley is totally different to cloudy with lights on. Doesn't mean we are a good batting side or your attacks rubbish just that conditions are such that even Cummins genius will get nullified a bit.

Will delete my response ASAP. Out having breakfast so on phone, will double check when home on computer.

Think it will be a draw and be nice to play with 11 men next time. That includes dropping Moeen who I said a week ago shouldn't play but would.

Hope you realise it banter, some of your countrymen bite too easily. We are a far better side than you though and will win much like you will hammer us in your backyard next time.

Will say though that the pitch thing is truth and no wind up, saw it early that it no demon just you lot can't bat. Next test may be different, always call it as I see it.

Hey Burgey, have reversed the repetitive posting infraction. With the benefit of the opinions of the other moderators. Apologies.

Sorry for not getting back to you

I honestly felt sorry for you, and for Labor supporters

It was such a shock

Probably for the best though if Albo becomes PM

He's more loved, and he'll be there longer than for what Shorten would have been, IMO

Haha yeah.

"But we don't see anything wrong with that word."

Yeah, no ****, that's the ****ing problem.

haha oh boy that thread

Haha shut up you monkey

Good luck tomorrow, mate. When you think your Party is going to win, it's just a great night tonight, with the anticipation of tomorrow.

Then tomorrow is just electric at the polling booths, and the nervous feeling as those first booths come in at 6:45pm or so.

btw, how did your similar situation pan out? did you write a letter/go to court or just cop it sweet? and was it 8 points for using your phone?

thanks burge, i'll follow your advice. i'll work on a letter this week and will shoot the draft through to you to look over. very kind of you btw. after that gets rejected i suppose we can worry about the next step. thanks again
