After crying at the Sainsbury advert, wife has now put Ed Sheeran on the TV. This is unreasonable behaviour.


I was crying at the excerpts from the Sainsbury's ad shown on Gogglebox. I don't think I want to risk watching the whole thing now, lest I run out of tissues.

Got into work this morning and started filling in my timesheet for the month past. I've got my calendar open because I took a lot of individual days off in November so I need to check them off. I get up to last week and go to book in the day off I had on Friday only to notice it's not in the calendar. Hmm. Rifle through my emails; nope, nothing anywhere to show that I'd actually requested it. So it seems that on Friday I just didn't bother my arse to turn up because apparently that's how I roll now. :D

There was an item on the 'Skeptics' guide to the universe' podcast recently about a survey suggesting that around 85% of people make at least one serious error when fitting a car seat to bring their newborn home.

It kind of makes sense, in that most likely people won't have practiced it beforehand, and by then they just want to get home.

Quote:
The purpose of this website is to give brief information about the claims process and should not replace the detailed advice of a solicitor.

This sounds a bit weird, as, unless I am wrong, this is the advice of a solicitor.
At the bottom of the page, you say "... contact us." This should be a link to allow them to do so.

Quote:
solicitors costs
should be solicitor's/solicitors' costs.

Quote:
If you are part of a union then you will have already paid to be a member and might have, as part of that membership, certain benefits. One of those benefits may be that the union will pay for your legal fees if you are involved in an accident.


This is quite a cumbersome paragraph.

Quote:
Similarly, you may have (sometimes unwittingly) paid for Legal Expense Insurance. If you have paid for, let’s say, household and contents insurance on your home you may have already paid as part of your premium for the additional benefit of Legal Expense Insurance. If you have Legal Expense Insurance then your insurer might cover you in the event of an accident and pay for your legal fees to pursue a claim for personal injury.


again quite cumbersome - would also be good if you explained how to check for this, even if it is to say, "call your household insurance provider if unsure." It fiishes the section better.

Quote:
There has been a number of changes in the rules relating to the payment of solicitor’s legal fees.
Should this be have?

Quote:
If your solicitor has a Success Fee as part of the “No Win, No Fee” agreement you have to pay this from your compensation.
This is the important bit, make it stand out more. Also, it is then quite a lot of text until you explain what it is you do. and I think loses some of the punch.

Quote:
There was a time before April 2013 when the rules were changed when your opponent’s insurance had to pay the Success Fee. The success fees was fixed in road accidents at 12.5% and in accidents at work at 25%.
were - or more likely "fee" cf "fees".
Quote:
After the rule change however when the client had to pay the Success Fee solicitors started more than this.

Is there a word missing here?

Quote:
Your case lasts 5 months and concludes without any major dispute and you receive £5,000. If your solicitor does 10 hours work at £100 his fees would be £1,000 plus VAT. He charges you a Success Fee of 25% which would be £250 plus £50 VAT. Your deduction is therefore just £300. Your solicitor cannot take any more money from your compensation than that £300.

This example confuses me, 25% of 5k =1.25k, as per the earlier examples. why is this different? If it is an example of what is not happening, why is it even here?


I CBA reading anymore right now, sorry! :)

Holly Willowboobs, does Surpris, Surpriae now?

What the fuck? Obviously I meant Surprise, Surprise so why in fucks name did autocorrect let that crap slide? Autocorrect has been rubbish since iOS8. Facking thing.

Oh and Surprise, Surprise is on TV. It has a terrible studio and is relatively soulless now.

Autocorrect never corrects proper nouns as far as I'm aware. Your fault for capitalising them and then not performing a cursory check of what you typed.

I did check and then I left it in cause I wanted to moan about autocorrect. That much should have been obvious.

You wanted to moan about it doing what it was meant to do. Righto.

It would be nice if we'd ever seen a health visitor.

Not now of course, we're overloaded with the fuckers. But between two weeks and last week we saw no one. Which meant that my musing on 'Would anyone know if I just dug a big hole in the garden' leads to a somewhat concerning conclusion.
