Am sat in the pub doing some work; I was in work doing some work, but there's a stench of decomposing rat coming up though the floorboards, so I took refuge here instead. I'm reading up on the Right To Buy on behalf of a client, and was amused to read this exchange from the House of Lords on the topic; welcoming a new Lord speaking for the first ( Read more... )

LAWL!

Don't envy you on right-to-buy, it's a ticklish issue all round.

I am STILL writing the effing essay on the history of planning gain (due between 9am & 5pm Tuesday; I have no time off in between) and I really want to kill things. alextiefling says my not-even-full-written essay is the 3rd most boring thing he's ever had to read - and this is one of the more interesting topics!

*wants to die*

A guilty lol at that comment; dare I ask what the top 2 were? You have my sympathy; having a Real Job when you've got deadlines looming for uni work is at least one struggle I didn't have.

When doing the LPC f/t, I *wished* I cold do it p/t so the work could be spread out bit and I could get "experience" meanwhile; looking back now, I'm really kinda glad I didn't.

Grass, greener, etc.

I'll check in with him and try to find out what the top 2 were. I think one was "course notes on partial differential equations" (his undergrad degree was maths).

ooooh, where's the house? Good luck with it all, hope it doesn't take as long to complete as ours did.

Cheers mate - house is 10mins walk from where we currently are. Not quite so nice an area, but it's literally 5 seconds walk from open fields and a nature reserve, so that's pretty sweet. 20 minute walk to work - could be worse, certainly.

Given I'll be doing out conveyancing *that* shouldn't take too long; the timeline is going to be more dictated by the seller I suspect.We'll see - we've got just udner 2 months to be out, so that's the longstop.
