Last week my MOM got an actual TATTOO. I'm still in shock. Important deets - 1. She's been drunk twice, ever 2. She thinks "crap" is quite a bad swear word 3. She got the tattoo on a Women's Institute coach trip to Chester 4. It's of a ball of wool and knitting needles

Not a great pic as it's curved around her shoulder (she's not the best at selfies) but here it is. From a woman who makes her own jam and recently had a Victoria Sponge judged by a Women's Institute official in a white lab coat.

In other news, the BCAT costs law students £150 (£170 overseas) a pop, and has a 99.3% pass rate. Perhaps we could as barristers try to be nicer to students and save some of our Sunday cross examination energy for the BCAT or indeed the ~£20,000 *for profit* BPC providers?
