God bless Lord Diplock

Yes, after all that waiting I am the proud recipient of a Diplock Scholarship. Sorry to everyone for the tantrum in the last post.

I would like to say that I am off to toast Lord Diplock, unfortunately an employment law exam prevents me from doing so :(

All the best

BoB

Are you attending the dinner?
I don't want to be drunk and foolish by myself!

I still don't have the letter yet because they needed to wait for the Blackstones Entrance Exhibition cheque to come through before posting it to me, but I am pretty sure that if I am free some of the £85 I get back for that award will be going into buying some drinks at the meal.

I do a pretty good line in drunk and foolish myself so we should be fine lol

You got an exhibitions cheque? What does that cover? Entry and fees etc?

Bar or Bust said...

A Blackstones Entrance Exhibition covers the cost of joining the Inn ie. the £85 that you hand over with your application for membership.

I joined last year so I get my money back.

Congratulations BoB! It's the most wonderful ego massaging experience imaginable - nice letter, lots of interest from your interviewing pannel in your career, a mention on the website AND in the Times!

Well done. Knew you would be OK.

Lost said...

Scholars get mentioned in the times?

Minx said...

Yup, Lost, they do.

How do you know when? I feel the need to collect it and put it in some kind of scrapbook...

It'll be a while yet, Hannah - probably later this year; the 2008 bunch turned up in The December 8 edition of The Times. It's very nice to have a copy of the paper for posterity!
