I think she thought with all her qualifications getting a pupillage would be a walk in the park and it really hasn't been. You didn't malign her, she maligned herself! And it's not libel if it is justified! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3973059296342782173.post-23061998019599169892008-08-31T18:04:00.000+01:002008-08-31T18:04:00.000+01:00Hey AnyaOh dear- I didn't mean to malign/ libel an...Hey Anya<BR/><BR/>Oh dear- I didn't mean to malign/ libel anyone in particular! It was just an illustration of a common personality trait amongst wannabe barristers - being a tad full of oneself, or at least coming across so! I am very guilty of this. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure she's lovely, and surprised she hasn't had pupillage success with all those qualifications - but then that's before the BVC itself!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09562627821162756791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3973059296342782173.post-3240079457170868182008-08-30T18:23:00.000+01:002008-08-30T18:23:00.000+01:00I have checked out that facebook group and I know ...I have checked out that facebook group and I know the person making those obnoxious posts!

I am most glad she has deferred, but imagine there will be many persons of a similar type! I did wonder if it was just me betraying a non-Oxbridge, non-scholarship chip on my shoulder - but there was something awfully windbaggy in her tone! <BR/><BR/>Merci buckets indeed, Minx! All that shopping and eating won't do itself *sigh*...<BR/><BR/>Bar Boy, I have also been struck by that phenomenon - how many people who could probably get away with being really stuck up are incredibly lovely. I had a similar experience with a female QC whose CV could make you quake, and she was the loveliest thing you could ever have met! <BR/><BR/>I plan to do a lot of sitting back and letting people make idiots of themselves. Only this way might I prevent myself being one of them!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09562627821162756791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3973059296342782173.post-16813874123165852202008-08-27T16:23:00.000+01:002008-08-27T16:23:00.000+01:00I suggest you sit back and wait for her to make a ...I suggest you sit back and wait for her to make a total arse out of herself. <BR/><BR/>I once was lucky enough to sit at a table at a charity function where a certain QC was one of the guests. He introduced himself to the others at the table merely as Jonathan, I'm in law. Not, I'm a once in a generation intellectual collosus and you should all be mightily impressed to be in my presence.

I feel your pain!!<BR/>Have fun, send us a virtual postcard! :)<BR/><BR/>Are all those comments from the same individual? If they are, I recommend a smack upside the head with a non stick frying pan at the earliest available opportunity.
