@JKSemakula My recipe for long quotes: 1.15pt spaced, central block text, indented, -1 font size👌

@JKSemakula Garamond is the equivalent of overusing the 👌 emoji, or the words ‘axiomatic’ or ‘clearly’ in every sentence. Hard avoid.

I remember worrying profusely about whether to beard or not to beard the week before starting pupillage.

What a waste of worry that was.

Should’ve spent that time coming to a firm conclusion about whether to Times New Roman or Calibri.

Have I already been sent the link to the Texan feline lawyer? Yes. Will I continue to open it even when the 10th person sends it to me? Absolutely.

Come work with us! Happy to chat with prospective applicants about Guildhall or #pupillage in general. DMs open.

Liar.

The UK is covered by EU law on this until the end of the year - the vaccine was approved on the basis of an existing emergency exception in EU legislation.

There is no need to play petty politics with what we should all celebrate as brilliant news.

Some legendary advice here. I’ve seen the ‘next level’ XX described here in action and it is a beautiful/terrifying thing (depending which side you’re on). Something to aspire to...

@nationaltrust should charge a premium for priority booking status and call it ‘gold leaf’ membership. Or NT pine

@sglaisteryoung It’s all fun and games until you realise you’re in the Thomas More Building

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Government just voted with majority of 53 to strip amendment 16 from #AgricultureBill, which would have safeguarded food standards in trade deals - demonstrating beyond doubt that their promises are totally utterly & completely worthless - even when enshrined in their manifesto👇
