Now that's what I call a tough audience!

A Korean coal mine full of banished comedians.
It's a sit-com waiting to happen.

A rich seam of comedy?

Jokes not suitable for miners?

Such an important issue.

I spent some time in East Africa working with victims, A truly horrific crime.

Definitely the scariest way of being attacked. Totally horrifying.

This is quite sweet. In a way. http://boingboing.net/2013/08/08/crooks-rip-off-nonprofit-rape.html

That would be amazing mitigation! Rather than the usual, he's really sorry, and oh look, he's managed to impregnate his girlfriend, please don't send him to prison.

Nice to know they have morals. Sort of.

Oddly heartwarming!

Good luck to her, although "lawyer in the fashion industry"? What a waste.

Without wishing to blow my own trumpet (which I do, frequently) there is more to being a barrister than academics.

Within the last month, I have I held the hand of a woman after breaking it to her that her son had just been sent to prison for 7 years. I have rang round hostels to try and find a junkie a bed for the night and fought off the advances of a convicted rapist.

Academics are the least of it.

This is the best account I have ever found on the net of the realities of being a barrister:

F**kitty Christ.

Do you carry mace or something? I would.

Nah, there are alarms on the walls of the cell if necessary. I mean verbal advances rather than anything else.

"Miss...Miss..When I get out, would you like to go for dinner with me? We could go to Nando's..or Weatherspoons.."

Now, call me a Picky Penelope, but one of my basic requirements in a lover is that he doesn't have to sign the Sex Offenders Register.

And preferably has his own teeth.

Besides, I f**king hate Nando's.
