This past week has seen records broken within Legal-Island and further afield. South Korean pop superstar, Psy, has officially broken the record for the most viewed video on YouTube with his music video, Gangnam Style. The video has over 8O8 million views since it was posted in July, eclipsing the likes of ‘The Sneezing Panda’ and ‘Charlie bit my finger’ (which I never thought would be possible!), to take the top spot! For those of you who haven’t seen it yet - approach with caution as it can be very infectious!

Meanwhile back at Legal-Island, last week saw our final NI Annual Review of the year at the Ramada, Shaw’s Bridge, where the scores have been of an incredibly high standard. Our team of hosters, led by Conference Manager Kerry Murphy, brought back an average score of 4.9 out of 5! A great day all round, with lots of happy delegates.

This week see’s the final ROI Annual Review of the year at the Stillorgan Park Hotel, Dublin. Conference Manager, Heather Stewart helped by a team of Ainsley, Debbie, Arnold, John and I hope to continue the run of amazing all-round scores. Places are still available to book for tomorrow’s ‘Stillorgan Spectacle’ on our website for those of you who have yet to book.

This is what the Legal-Island team are up to this week:

Barry, our CEO, has a week of mainly networking ahead. He has internal meetings all day today. Tomorrow he's conducting a mock legal interview for an Oxbridge candidate at the local grammar school. On Wednesday he's meeting the company nutritionist Jane McClenaghan for lunch. On Thursday he has more internal meetings before attending a CBI seminar on Friday.

Jayne is meeting Employers for Childcare with Ainsley on Wednesday afternoon, and on Thursday morning she is meeting John Andrews from Gilpin Executive at their offices, before taking a half day on Friday.

Scott will be leaving our Antrim headquarters today to drive to Dublin. He is chairing the final Annual Review of Employment Law at the Stillorgan Park Hotel on Tuesday. Scott will be working from home on Wednesday. He has a planning meeting on Thursday in relation to the NI HR conference 2013. On Friday Scott will be addressing the CBI HR Leadership Conference, as part of a panel, in Belfast.

Have a great week!
