My good friend Elly got her law contract today and was very chuffed. She now knows that after her two years as a trainee she'll have a job to walk into. I think it's ironic that despite all these initiatives to prevent sex descrimination, and the numerous schemes to get women into work, amongst my age group it's the women who have all the best jobs. There have been a few studies that note that young males aren't performing as well as females but I think they're all a waste of time. When I'm 40, if I fail in my retirement plans and am still in the city, I'll be surrounded by a bevy of young beauties. So despite being a male, it's probably in my interest for fellow males to fail.
We went to Shanghai Blues in Holborn to celebrate. Food was OK. I think we upset the waitress when we put loads of candles onto the table to brighten things up. It was very dark in there.
