Request Board

Right seems a few of the Rofniverse are struggling at the moment so here's a thread to put up requests for things that might help you through (naturally I mean reasonable requests that are legal and morally acceptable) or to volunteer your services if you've got a suggestion for helping out.

As I said on the other thread if anyone just wants someone different to chat nonsense with or just vent at about life then drop me a nonny and we can work something out.  Cute dog photos are also available on request.

In Sails' spirit of trying to help out, I'm very happy to chat (and, no, this isn't a chinney trying to drum up work). Ex-lawyer, now headhunter and occasional coach. Happy to be ranted at if anyone needs to get things off their chest (as it were), provide an alternative perspective on stuff or just chat shit.

I can also provide dog pics.

You can get me at [email protected]

Not sure it will help me "get through" but it will certainly preoccupy me between now and whenever I start the LPC.

Any recommended reading? Not necessarily looking for 'go read a business law textbook' but things that are stimulating and would be of some use down the road.

I finished The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Zuboff recently (by which I mean, November?) and really enjoyed it.

As an aside, has anyone read The Five Giants: A Biography of the Welfare State by Timmins? I received it for Christmas but it's over 800 pages and a bit daunting.

Rumpy - you may get different opinions on this, but I really enjoyed “cannibalism and the common law”. It’s actually what got me into the subject. Provided you ignore the interminable bits about yacht dimensions it’s a great read 

Crowley, thanks. In light of Armie Hammer’s recent position I’ll have a look. Immediately brought back to Dudley and Stevens...the blokes who ate the boy at sea.
