Since the hand over it has no longer been possible to read for the bar in England and then go and practice as a barrister in Hong Kong as my father and grandfather did. Instead I have to take the PCLL, a local bar vocational course, after having obtained my LLB Law degree here in England.
However, a game is apparently sweeping the Hong Kong universities. It’s called “Happy Corner” and by the sounds of it, any hint of felicity in the title is entirely unwarranted.
Basically you are picked up, your legs split wide open and then your privates are driven into a sturdy pole, bollard or corner. Yes it’s exactly as it sounds.
My only hope to avoid mangled genitalia is to ostracize myself from the rest of the student community and rely upon being A) a post-graduate student and b) Too bloody tall for anyone to lift.
An example of one of the variants:
Variation #2 (Train-con). The victim’s legs are split apart and then he is dragged face down across a row of chair backs, like a train rolling over a railroad track. Possible consequences: A mild injury might be superficial scratches on the penis and scrotum and a serious injury might be the crushing of the testicles. Within one hour, the scrotum is likely to look bruised and swollen.
I wish I could say that was the least inventive or painful sounding of the options.
