Thread: Wanted

Benny,

I'm not in the legal profession, but think I should suggest a few changes anyway, please delete words so that your post reads as follows, my reasons are set out below:

Oo:eek: ps forgot to get this one checked.................................

"Anyone" is not specific.
"Legal Profession" is too descriptive and does not leave the position open to some who may have the necessary skills, but not necessarily the academic training to meet the description.
"prepared" leaves a number of options to the applicant, and may create a false sense of expectation as to what the role actually entails.
"proof read" discriminates against people with visual impairment, or those without access to basic education.
"edit" is hardly a role for one in the legal profession, are you sure you don't need a senior journalist?
"post before posting" is a serious mix of tense, and simply doesn't make sense!
"forgot" could bring a class action against you by dementia sufferers, who could form a case that you were taking the mick out of them as a group.
"checked" is far too close to the bone for the majority of Real Estate Salesmen, who used once to dress in suits made of a fabric described EXACTLY like that. You could be accused of positive discrimination in their favour.


I hope all of that is of some assistance. I would send you my bill, but haven't been able to retrieve it from where my last customer stuck it yet.

Cheers,

P

In the who is to and my Oops ps to get this one .........................


Cheers Midge and thanks, if you do get that bill a fax of it is more than sufficient.

"Anything said or implied by the above is unintened to offend, please accept my apology for any offence, piece of my hide can be obtained as compensation"

Sarcasm is said to be the lowest form of wit, Benny.

But it is a form of expression while not that popular perhaps, so best not offend the defenders of such? Judging by it's popularity by many other members other than myself?

I do support your opinion to place it at the lower end of "Wit" but is that proven by any study or are you expessing an opinion?

I must have heard it somewhere. Just thought I'd run it up the flag pole to see if I got any re-action, Ben.

My kids hate it when I say "Come in Spinner" lol

Ok I say things which come to mind cos I enjoy a bit of fun, I do not intend to offend just have a silly sense of humour I suppose, grew up with the Goodies, Monty Python and Auntie Jack etc.

Hey then Benny you will be pleased to note that two of the goodies are currently travelling around Australia Graham and Tim but apparently Bill Oddie will be on stage with them via a video hook up or something LOL
would be interesting show they are down south currently
I did hear Bill was a mad keen bird watcher and great conservationist so perhaps he's chained himself to a tree,
time for coffee IV now
cheers Bio

Yes saw an interview on the box where Bill was a hand puppet to make up the numbers. Hmmm Coffee sounds good.....
