Twitter tale from the Bar of the week

Overheard by pupil barrister @BenjaminFGray (not at the chambers where he is a pupil):

“blue shirts are not appropriate for someone under 5 years call”

Unlikely Twitter conversation of the week

Between The Lawyer magazine editor @lawyercatrin and Conservative MP @JakeReesMogg

Catrin: @JakeReesMogg problem with TV popular history is that it ostentatiously makes ALL the connections for you. Would rather work them out myself

Jacob:@lawyercatrin Also true. It is the over simplification one can’t abide.

Tweeter who’s still saying nothing at all of the week

@HerbertSmithLaw

Yet to tweet…

But, then, it’s been a tough week for ‘Herbies’

Lesson learnt through bitter experience of the week

@LBCWiseCounsel

Unwritten Rules: If anyone describes something that you know will be bloody difficult as “an opportunity” you know it won’t be them doing it

Hashtag of the week

#FootballerLawFirms

Perfect hatrick from Legal Week pun guru @BenWheway:

Dewey & Frank LeBoeuf, CMS Cameron JeffKenna, Barlow Lyde & Gilberto Silva

Until next week…
