In case any one doesn't know this already lawyers are the most untrustworthy turds in the world slightly above bankers, estate agents and MP's - just had the bill in for an industrial tribunal - stuffed the bastards and got a good settlement so the lawyers increased their bill to suit. 50% more than they said it would be at the start - be warned those who have not experienced lawyers - b***stewards the lot - feel better thats off my shoulders!
They're great if you need them to get you out of a pickle! I've only ever had good experience with a solicitor
They are ruining this country. All these accident claim lines etc have ramped up insurances and the dread health and safety (which is all back covering against solicitors) It should all be brought to an end as it mainly generates money for people in the legal proffesion. Look at when you could claim for parents or grand parents who were mine workers who died through coal dust on the lungs. Did the families make any money from that, not really. Basically the tax payer funded a massive feeding frenzy for these stinking firms. They are paracites.
Actually the b**** did a good job, just very expensively - I was reacting to getting a bill way over the odds - however, I recall the miners compensation scam and the riches that went to lawyers and not to those in real need - plus equal pay settlements - plus as said above compensation rake offs and lawyers ahve a bit to answer for dont they. Never been divorced, yet.... so may change my mind !!! If I come back in some afterlife I'll either be a lawyer of a footballers agent.
there are more then one type of solicitor marra.... not all of them get paid well and most of the money went to the company not the actual solicitor... about the miners compensation the family did get money as the solicitors got there cost paid for i belive
As part of my job I deal with lawyers every day. Quite a few are decent folk, some are complete ****ers then there is the odd obnoxious ****. Not as bad as MPs though, they are all ****s
Connor the vast amount of money went to solicitors. It was not intended for them. It was a national disgrace.
Best cartoon I have seen was in a solicitors office. Cow with the husband at the tail pulling like hell, wife at horns end pulling the same, and at the tits was the solicitor milking like hell. The solicitor himself was old school and warned of the consequences of unreasonable expectations.
This and thrice this...They are taking away our freedoms as everone is **** scared of being sued. For example we have a fantastic swimming pool in Sunderland, but the diving boards are hardly ever open to the public because of the threat of being sued by someone who may hurt themselves...
Just recently seen my Dad nearly put in an early grave and left virtually bankrupt by his ex and her lawyer. They dragged out the divorce proceedings trying to wring every penny out of him despite his ex being the adulterer. Even the female judge said they were taking the piss! And as his ex didn't work guess who paid her legal costs of over 10 grand? My Dad. So my experiences of lawyers ain't been a good one.
A Chelsea fan, a Newcastle fan and a Man Utd fan were all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze. All of a sudden the Saudi police rushed in and arrested them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offence in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the booze, they were sentenced to death! However, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they were able to successfully appeal their sentence down to life imprisonment. By a stroke of luck, it was a Saudi national holiday the day their trial finished, and the extremely benevolent Sheikh decided they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip. As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh suddenly said: "It's my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping." The Chelsea fan was first in line (he had drunk the least), so he thought about this for a while and then said: "Please tie a pillow to my back." This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went through. The Chelsea fan had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain when the punishment was done. The Geordie was next up and after watching the scene, said:" Please fix two pillows on my back, under my shirt" But even two pillows & 1 shirt could only take 15 lashes before the whip went through again. The Manc was the last one up (he had finished off the crate), but before he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said: "You are from a most beautiful part of the world, your city has some of the best bars, nightclubs and restaurants in Europe, your city and football team is known throughout the world. For this, you may have two wishes!" "Cheers mate, your Most Royal and Merciful Highness", The manc replies. "In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes." "Not only are you an honourable, handsome and powerful man, you are also very brave." The Sheik says with an admiring look on his face. "If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish? What is it to be?" the Sheikh asks. [NSFW]"Please tie the Geordie scum to my back."[/NSFW] Seems you good for something then
