Her Honour Justice Standish ruled for Tay Tay with the best judgement ever: “At present, the Court is not saying that Braham can never, ever, ever get his case back in court. But, for now, we have got problems, and the Court is not sure Braham can solve them."

How would you recommend I go about performing extras as a stripper without getting arrested? At private parties, not the club. I never make the first offer but I don't know how to go beyond that in protecting myself. I know you're not a stripper but I was hoping you could help

The law is different everywhere around the world. I don't know where you live or plan to work and therefore have no idea what the law is.

Australia's latest PM as a young barrister...

Background:When the book called "Spycatcher" was published, the British Government went into panic mode and tried to ban it (because y'know, it contained accusations that members of the British intelligence agency MI5 included Soviet moles). Up stepped an Australian lawyer called Malcolm Turnbull who went on to have the British government’s suppression orders thrown out of court. Margaret Thatcher dispatched her Cabinet Secretary, Sir Robert Armstrong to give evidence at the trial. Turnbull ate him alive in a famous exchange which has gone down in legal and political history.

Turnbull: So that letter contains a lie, does it not?

Armstrong: It contains a misleading impression in that respect.

Turnbull: Which you knew to be misleading at the time you made it?

Armstrong: Of course.

Turnbull: So it contains a lie?

Armstrong: It is a misleading impression, it does not contain a lie, I don’t think.

Turnbull: What is the difference between a misleading impression and a lie?

Armstrong: You are as good at English as I am.

Turnbull: I am just trying to understand.

Armstrong: A lie is a straight untruth.

Turnbull: What is a misleading impression — a sort of bent untruth?

Armstrong: As one person said, it is perhaps being economical with the truth.

I'm trying so hard but I can't get a single client. Any tips? I'm charging £500/hour - is that too much? What am I doing wrong? I'm starting to think is it because I'm ugly/fat etc..

Dear Anon,

I require the following:

1. Where you work

2. What experience you have

3. WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY DO?

Seriously. I’m assuming you’re talking about legal work but for all I know, you’re an internet troll and you’re charging £500/hour to provide “crab-peeling” services to feed grown up men like this girl here:
