Flannel Girl didn't show up to class again.

I don't know whether I even want to be with someone who doesn't take her education seriously.

Barry Egan · « **Reply #361 on:** March 31, 2009, 12:48:47 PM »

your primary concern should probably be whether she takes you seriously.

What are you going to do over the summer, Malek? Do you take classes still or do you go to somewhere more depressing. Because I'd imagine that wherever your home is, it's probably more depressing.

The log keeps rollin'.

In class, the prof was discussing a case and said he was going to write the facts of the case on the whiteboard. He went to the board and the first marker he tried writing with didn't work; he tried another, it didn't work either. I was about to say something lame like "looks like the facts of the case are elusive" but stopped myself.

Anyway, another song about my creepy infatuation with Flannel Girl:

[youtube=560,345]2GmVajkqLNU[/youtube]
Love is asking to be loved.
Love is you,
You and me,
Love is knowing,
We can be.
Love is free, free is love,
Love is living, living love,
Love is needing to be loved.
:'(

I'm staying in Winnipeg. I hope to finish my novel and/or drink myself to death. I have no idea why I'm going back to school in the fall or how I'll start going to classes.

As to the condition of my apartment, let's just say that I've been buying paper plates for the last two months.

edit: Also, since there's no threat of a woman coming within ten feet of my door, I have no incentive to maintain a clean apartment.

While my heart is broke, my tears i cried for you.

the pizza, which was on sale, was in one of those open freezers without a cover. I didn't really check whether it was sufficiently frozen at time.

Also, I managed to throw up, involuntarily.

I was going to post this message in class, but, because I was late (fucking snow and fucking public transit), I wasn't sitting in the back; consequently, the person directly behind me could see my screen. And I'm not being paranoid; as soon as I logged on to evilbore--and my lennon avatar was clearly visible--the person behind me started singing "Ticket to Ride."

Anyway, Flannel Girl finally decided to show up to class. She looked as beautiful as ever, and to further twist that knife into my heart, she was wearing bangs. I, on the other hand, had my anxious I-HATE-EVERYONE/PLEASE KILL-ME look going. During the break, we briefly made eye contact: I quickly became embarrassed and diverted my eyes, then tilted my head to the ground and did a sad, defeated Charlie Brown walk to my seat.

I never feel as alone as I do when I'm in class, where I'm constantly reminded how alone I really am by the happy, friendly students surrounding me.

Here we stand
Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two
Sleepless nights
Losing ground
I'm reaching for you, you, you

Feelin' that it's gone
Can change your mind
If we can't go on
To survive the tide love divides

Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched
And went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched
And went our separate ways

This is a fun sentence.

Quote

"If A has entered into a contract with B to do work for, or to supply goods or services to, B in return for payment by B and at some stage before A has completely performed his obligations under the contract B has reason to doubt whether A will, or will be able to, complete his side of the bargain and B thereupon promises A an additional payment in return for A’s promise to perform his contractual obligations on time and as a result of giving his promise B obtains in practice a benefit, or obviates a disbenefit, and B’s promise is not given as a result of economic duress or fraud on the part of A, then the benefit to B is capable of being consideration for B’s promise, so that the promise will be legally binding.”

Based on the examples you've provided, I think legal writing should abandon the pretense of English prose and adopt some kind of formal notation instead.

The above quote was from another English Court case--though one from the 1990's.

Modern Canadian cases seem to be written by people who have read Strunk and White more than a few times.

edit: For clarification, Canadian courts are not bound by English courts,* but their decisions are persuasive.

*Canadian courts, except for the Supreme Court of Canada, are bound by Canadian Privy Council cases before 1946. The Privy Council was Canada's highest court, thus their past decisions are treated as if they were made by the SCC, unless specifically overruled by the SCC, the Charter of Rights, or Parliament.

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #391 on:** April 01, 2009, 05:48:30 PM »

Let's at least try formatting it properly.

Code: [Select]

if 
       A has entered into a contract with B 
          to do work for or to supply goods or services to B 
          in return for payment by B 
   and 
           at some stage before A has completely performed his obligations under the contract 
               B has reason to doubt whether A will, or will be able to, complete his side of the bargain 
                   and B thereupon promises A an additional payment 
                       in return for A’s promise to perform his contractual obligations on time 
       and as a result of giving his promise 
              B obtains in practice a benefit, or obviates a disbenefit, 
       and B’s promise is not given as a result of economic duress or fraud on the part of A, 
then 
   the benefit to B is capable of being consideration for B’s promise, 
       so that the promise will be legally binding.

Isn't that better?

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #392 on:** April 01, 2009, 06:05:02 PM »

I'll give it a try
The performance of an existing contractual obligation is good consideration in exchange for increased payment when the other party derives a practical benefit from the performance of that existing contractual obligation.

The part about fraud or duress is unnecessary; it goes without saying.

I don't even really know what stream of consciousness would be like. I've never read any. I can only assume that it would use a lot of pronouns, as in my own mind, that is when I think I hardly ever use proper names as the signified just appears to my thought - it would never work out anyways as I always have to go back and fix my spelling like just now a wrote 'apperies' and saw the red line and had to go back and change it totally ruinng the flow of the thought - ruining. It would be constant self correction in an unintelligible way. actually if I was correcting on the fly it would probably help readers understand what I was trying to say. I would no longer - I can't believe I'm writing this instead of working on latin and doing crititcal thinking work. Truth trees are boring and this post was boring and un funny. I should delete it and not post it but I'm not going to because it's the longest post i've written since a 100 posts back.

Actual property law cases

Clayton v. Ramsdon (1943) House of Lords Appeal Court
Land left to daughter so long as she doesn't marry a non-Jew

Re Tegg (1936)
Property left to wife on condition that children never become Catholics

Re Selby (1965) English Court
Property to son as long as he marries a Jewish woman

Re Tuck's Settlement Trusts (1978) English Court of Appeal
Property left to son on the condition he marries a woman of Jewish faith. Arbitration clause states that a Rabbi must decides on her jewishness

Perron v. Lyon
Property left to daughter as long as she does not marry a Scottish man.

Jenner v. Turner

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #417 on:** April 05, 2009, 04:54:51 AM »

Actual property law cases

Clayton v. Ramsdon (1943) House of Lords Appeal Court
Land left to daughter so long as she doesn't marry a non-Jew
Result: fee simple limited upon condition subsequent, the condition that the daughter not marry a non-jew, struck out because of vagueness: not clear how Jewish the male had to be.

Re Tegg (1936)
Property left to wife on condition that children never become Catholics
void for uncertainty (not the part dealing with Catholicism, but a related part about the children remaining involved with the Church of England.

Re Selby (1965) English Court
Property to son as long as he marries a Jewish woman
Upheld because it was a condition precedent, which is interpreted more leniently than a condition subsequent (Clayton v. Ramsdon )

Re Tuck's Settlement Trusts (1978) English Court of Appeal
Property left to son on the condition he marries a woman of Jewish faith. Arbitration clause states that a Rabbi must decide on her jewishness.
Lord Denning gives it the okay, holding that the arbitration clause makes the condition valid.

Perron v. Lyon
Property left to daughter as long as she does not marry a Scottish man.
Interfering with the family unit is contrary to public policy; however, there are many non-Scottish men, so the condition is fine.

Jenner v. Turner
land left to to daughter as long as she does not marry a servant.
Valid restriction

Re Drummond [/i](1945) Ontario Court
covenant created stating that land could not be sold to Jews or others of "objectionable race"
Upheld

Re Noble and Wolfe (1949) Ontario Court
covenant created stating that land could not be sold to Jews or others of "objectionable race"
Upheld
