    I emailed a local firm in Sixth Form to enquire about getting some work experience/shadowing. They emailed back "I'm very sorry to say that the only solicitor in our team who can accommodate you during that week is David. You're very welcome to join him but he's a bit of a dull arsehole. Yours respectfully, David". He was the most lovely human being I've ever met and a truly incredible lawyer.
    That's brilliant 😂😂😂

    Linklaters Spring PFO.


    Even if an old broad and defunct loser like me couldn't do it this time around, I still have faith that you younger and smarter lot can!
    I will not have you speakin about yourself like that on hear, Adrian. You are excellent, resilient, and amazing. Keep going.

    Sorry to hear that :( Just checked my portal and am still stuck at 70% (for spring) so think I will get a PFO soon too. Mind if I ask when's your application? Just want to gauge if they are doing rejection in batches
    Ok after crazily refreshing my inbox for the last 30min I eventually got my PFO :( Forward and upward!
