In fact at the beginning in my new job I almost walked into a senior colleague from another department because I wasn&#39;t looking where I was going and she was pretty mean about it. I&#39;ve heard she makes people cry.AWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16742510512103448470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-12031931834538561112012-05-18T22:53:13.255+01:002012-05-18T22:53:13.255+01:00&quot;The question will be on something in the syllabus.&quot; End of sentence - full stop. :-)<br /><br />Nah, I think he believed in his psychic powers tbh (which were about as effective as Septic Peg&#39;s). :DMichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14213997438656217771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-80210894338368480872012-05-18T22:51:02.006+01:002012-05-18T22:51:02.006+01:00Ooh - you can&#39;t beat the moody black and white ones. Very creative.<br /><br />The thumbnail selection sounds awful. I wonder if it gave any of them complexes over their &quot;part&quot; in question. A girl with a big nose or chap with a receding hairline, for instance. Thank God they&#39;re not the type to sue anyone... ;-)Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14213997438656217771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-50003566358925690992012-05-18T09:46:44.294+01:002012-05-18T09:46:44.294+01:00Great advice. Students, remember that the job of question spotting has already been done for you. The question will be on something in the syllabus. That is all you know until you see the paper.<br /><br />There was a scandal recently about A level questions being leaked to teachers at (expensive) exam board conferences. Maybe your teacher thought he had an inside line?Stephenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02180325668437665385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-69368175530763836702012-05-18T09:34:50.032+01:002012-05-18T09:34:50.032+01:00My lot had proper photos done for the website (in moody black and white, or course), but the approach has been to only use an &quot;interesting&quot; aspect of their photo as a thumbnail.<br /><br />This means that they are represented by thumbnails of their eye, nose, mouth, hairline, necklace, tie, a shoulder, or in one case, an ear.Dumplinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18035196994771454451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-675208106291961392012-05-17T21:38:30.679+01:002012-05-17T21:38:30.679+01:00Stephen - good to hear from you. <br /><br />Hadn&#39;t heard about murderers getting their locks cut prior to giving their performance in the dock! What&#39;s wrong with just advising them to put a tie on like the old days?<br /><br />The Glasgow firm you mentioned sounds like they &#39;get&#39; branding in a way that that&#39;s scarily rare. <br /><br />Btw, what happened to your blog? :-0Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14213997438656217771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-3921593131891364022012-05-17T18:57:25.807+01:002012-05-17T18:57:25.807+01:00These are the same law firms that will happily give a murder a haircut before the jury sees him. I don&#39;t understand it myself.<br /><br />There&#39;s a fantastic example in a decent sized Glasgow firm where they have a little photo of the lawyer and a bio which includes what they work as, what they specialise in, how long they&#39;ve been working and, for example, what football team they support. I think it&#39;s a great human touch.Stephenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02180325668437665385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-85393746226845277452012-05-17T09:28:18.366+01:002012-05-17T09:28:18.366+01:00You never saw them...John Bolchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16676004014279763939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-10237392070091037692012-05-17T09:00:08.941+01:002012-05-17T09:00:08.941+01:00How about bringing in a style guru and giving all the fee earners a &#39;once over&#39; before the photographer gets his camera out? ;-)<br /><br />They can&#39;t be *that* dishevelled / disreputable surely, John? :pMichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14213997438656217771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-85630565368652014072012-05-17T07:02:35.115+01:002012-05-17T07:02:35.115+01:00Hmm, if you put pictures of some of the lawyers I knew on the front of their websites, they&#39;d be out of business in no time...John Bolchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16676004014279763939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-17139192488037053582012-05-15T09:19:51.137+01:002012-05-15T09:19:51.137+01:00At least you&#39;ll be able to safely walk about with your macchiato now! ;-)Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14213997438656217771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-6106248513125631192012-05-15T00:56:02.548+01:002012-05-15T00:56:02.548+01:00haha!
