YES, finally got a job!

3 month contract at a law firm. 6 months since I graduated and I'm finally getting somewhere.

I know there are a few people in this thread doing law at uni, my advice once you graduate is to get your CV on the books of a legal agent. I spent 5 months by myself trying to get a job with nothing to show for it. In one month this legal agent got me 3 interviews.

Congrats!

My advice to you is get experience in as many fields as possible. There are a lot of specialist firms out there that will only really offer you one area to work in, which is fine until something happens like what is going on in PI at the moment.

Enjoy though, the first few months are amazing!

Seriously, though - the last thing we need is a shit defender.

Kharma, money fell in my lap today - gonna start acquiring some of those parts.

We're a team that plays with wingers. What we need is a midfielder who can ping it to the wingers. Zinedine was right. Pogtrayer is kind of the player we need.

I'll settle for a midfielder who can do any single thing to an incredibly high standard. I barely care what that thing is. Michael Laudrup built a career on backheel flicks. Let's fucking have one of those.

Eep. Again with the 290 it might be hard to get hold of so the 280X and 770 might be your best shot for a new GPU.
 
Scratch another off the list. I'm sure there's a list somewhere akin to the 'Games that will save the PS3' one.
Don't want Banega. He's not that good I don't think and he's nuts.

I really enjoyed my conversion, but I sort of did it at the worst possible time when due to the economy, law firms started to take on less trainees, but legal schools were still accepting lots of people so supply of trainees would exceed demand. I've been told that this year things are starting to look up again as law firms are taking on more trainees now.

My advice is to get as much experience as possible as early as possible. Abuse any kind of links you have and don't be ashamed of doing it. The industry is still very much who you know. As much as I hate it networking is so important. Start going to events and making contact with people to get work experience before you start your conversion. I managed to get some informal work experience at Charles Russell, but this was after I finished my conversion.

Also try sending your CV off to the CPS to get work experience. Although it's criminal law, lawyers seem to be impressed by it because it is different and not many people would have it as work experience. It would help to make your CV stand out, but you would still need city law work experience as well.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
dc?

Juventus wants Lamela and offers Vucinic to Spurs.

dc by like 2 weeks

Sherwood said Lamela won't be going anywhere in January, although he was talking about loans. I guess if Juve offered £20m plus Vucinic but they won't do that.

I think you might be somewhat understating the career of Michael Laudrup, one of the greatest players to ever play the game.

Bryan Ruiz is having a medical at PSV...about time he left. Too lightweight for the PL.

He still got something like 8 goals and 16 assists over 2 seasons for a very poor Fulham team, doesn't seem like he did too badly even if he hardly matched his exploits at Twente. But maybe he has done significantly worse this season, I haven't been following him

I have finally found a way to make FIFA 14 enjoyable. It's not failsafe unfortunately. The secret is to let go of the sprint button while shooting, turns out this way you get the new shooting animations, which are fairly decent, to activate and the goals don't look like shit.

Too bad it doesn't work all the time and I still get FIFA 10 and FIFA 09 crap in there.

Happy birthday LT.

Sal are you becoming an elite master race PC gamer?

Boosting existing PC a bit.

Kharma, any cards of a similar standard that tend to be more available ?

Any reason not to go for http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=25613 ?

No question. Also the greatest backheel flicker the world has ever known.

PSV and their attacking player fetish while they need a good (defensive) midfielder and better defenders.....

I don't think that is the problem of this team. The team as a whole didn't function, not individual players. Ruiz might bring that little bit of extra to the team. We might take the 3rd or 4th spot. I don't know.

That 1-5 also hurts doesn't it Nyx?
