Right, I'm seriously fed up of dealing with clients, courts and other lawyers.

I know at nearer to 50 than 40 this is not without risks and I'm seriously considering looking to joining the Church, does anyone have any tips (other than believing in god obviously)?

Seriously, having professed the law to almost 50, are you suggesting you have not accrued sufficient loot to just put your feet up?

It doesn't pay like it used to (although I did the BNP one for free).

God no, I was a late starter and law is not massively well paid any more.

Besides, being a vicar would allow me to do some good and atone for the sins of my past.

I think forming your own church can earn you a lot more. Seventh Day Sloperism?

Here's a few commandments

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours foie gras

Thou shalt not topropeth

Honour thy website Administrator

[petejh]

You like rules don't you - law of the land, word of god etc..

You could merge one with the other by practicing law for the church

You are going to have to make some serious changes to your diet if you are going to live that long...

Neither is The Church. However the fringe benefits are (all together now) out of this world.

Honour thy website Administrator

Amen to that

[tomtom]

Hold incriminating photographs of thy website Administrator

Amen to that

Slopes, if you're seriously thinking about it (i.e. its not some Sloper based precursor to a mega-troll). I could talk to some of the clerics I know at Lincoln Cathedral about late entry to the clergy, and pass on your details. I assume it is High-Church C.of E. you are interested in (though I bet you'd be a marvellous hellfire and brimstone Dissenter type).     

[lagerstarfish]

how about becoming a social worker?

I'd be up for making a documentary of your progress through the training - the reaction of other social work students could make excellent TV

[petejh]

Daily mail journalist... you could be the new Littlejohn.

This is possibly not as daft as it sounds.

Child advocacy is a difficult and rewarding avenue, that lends it's self to the contentiously minded. It quickly destroys those with idealistic or an egalitarian bent. The ability to call a spade a shovel, as required and to be able to tell your client that he/she/it is a little twat; will be highly beneficial.

Both my Father (ex copper) and his sister (Ex social worker) have pursued this line. Quite well remunerated, not on par with the legal profession, but not bad.

Far better than leading the mass delusion of the credulous (ardent atheist's view).

[Sloper]

Apologies due.  Too many drinks with a man of the cloth (bloody good company actually) talking about some of the funereal speeches I've written lead me to this nonsense.

On sober reflection (yes both happen from time to time and coincide on at least a lunar frequency) it was a bloody daft flight of fantasy, but it did keep the beer flowing at the time.  I wonder if he could put it on expenses, or whether he was actually trying to  me, my gaydar being less than fully functional at the best of times.

Anyway, it's a bit short notice but I may run for Parliament in 2015 for Labour. (and yes that is a troll)

[tomtom]

If you'd said UKIP is have thought you were trolling

[Sloper]

Well I've thoroughly enjoyed today,

I've told a client to fuck off.
I've told a firm of scum in Liverpool to issue proceedings against us or fuck off.
I've drafted a good defence to a nutter who issued proceedings agains us, for mutatis mutandis, being cvnts and told him to fuck off.

Happy days.

[petejh]

Why is it OK to spell fuck correctly but not cvnt? Or am I being a pvick?

[Moo]

well observed

[Percy B]

Cvnt is the latin version, obviously....

[Jaspersharpe]

Is a cvnt a cunt who works in HR?
