Not unreasonable for a firm to specialise in defending those with their back against the wall. Development of expertise is a valuable thing, and most defendants would likely not have relevant experience.

Even the most heinous criminal deserves legal representation, no?

That data is quite old. Is there a chart with current data?

I like the word "borked". We don't see enough of it these days.

But think of the emissions saved by giving the women such tight-fitting outfits. They wouldn't have been able to breathe in that kit, so no need to carry so much oxygen.

My best friend has a senior role at a major UK airport. 15% down for UK-US is about right, he says. Not good for airlines or airport jobs.

I wonder how much of that can be attributed to poor weather conditions in the Med making small boat crossings too risky, even for the smugglers?

Makes sense. The botanical name is Allium ursinum.

And you can't see any fish from the train as you go under the water. Always disappointing.

Toilet failures are frequent on these trains. They always have the feeling of having once been futuristic, but now being held together with string. Mind you, the same can be said for car ferries working the short Straits routes.

Having met Alan a couple of times (he is genuinely a nice person), on this I must disagree a little. All things in moderation.

Yes, this. I was half listening to Radio 4 y'day, so I'm sorry that I didn't catch name of commentator - but his point was that Trump is only in power for four years) - it's quite likely that many of his decisions and policies will be only temporary. Not to say that the next pres will be better...

I empathise. My audiologist told me that, because my hearing loss is mainly in the higher frequency sounds, my brain makes up for it by playing a constant high frequency sound in my head. My brain is not on my side.

I do worry that AI and increased automation are both taking away entry level jobs - the sort of thing students, part timers and the newly-qualified do - and employers have yet to work out a new model for career entry, recruitment and progression. How do we give these people real world experience?

Trouble is, we'd have to undo the divergence that has already occurred. Will that be an equal process or will the UK simply have to align with EU rules? Surely a political headache for both sides.

"Motley" is the word that comes to mind for that assortment of carriages. Also, given it's the first run, you'd think they would have given them a wash.

Same for plants. I used to ship boxes of samples to Germany for about £80. Cost now is about £500. Unsurprisingly, I don't ship many boxes of samples any more. See also mysterious white vans at the tunnel...

Working in the world of plants, I do worry that they don't understand the difference between a veterinary agreement and an SPS agreement. Sanitary = animals. Phytosanitary = plants.

Plant Bluesky is absolutely a thing. That's a Clivia that has been fried by extreme cold. Should regrow from the base if the pot didn't freeze.

I regularly played this (original) video to my son when he was five. He does not seem to have been harmed. He also sang "Narwhals" in the bath most nights. Occasionally, still does. He's now at university, studying grown up stuff.
