Are you one of those people who on the summer solstice says "That's it, summer is over now, the nights will be drawing in"The weather is good, but pity that in a few months it will be cold... winter. You won‘t be able to sit outside. Pity! But now it‘s still nice and warm, the clerk of the weather is on our side, the sun‘s going to shine for the whole day, it will be nice and the weather will be good. Quite good, although there are some clouds in the sky and the sun sometimes hides behind them a bit. Nevertheless, I like the weather today.
Nice, enjoy! I'm back at work on Tuesday after being off since March. Can't say I'm particularly looking forward to it, especially the two days of "staff retraining". Fun!My vacation starts today! Two weeks without complaining customers.
Well, the clerk of the weather is letting the sun shine today, and I‘m even wearing a cap so that he knows to bring some more sunshine to us.Are you one of those people who on the summer solstice says "That's it, summer is over now, the nights will be drawing in"

At 90 years old, with no living heirs, Jeanne signed a contract to sell her apartment to lawyer André-François Raffray.
She used a contingency contract, which is very common in France. This meant she could live in apartment for the rest of her life, while her lawyer agreed to pay a monthly sum of 2,500 francs, about £330 a month, until she died.
You can probably guess what happened next! Raffray, our savvy property lawyer, ended up paying Madam Calment a total of 918,000 francs, more than double the value of the value of the apartment.
The lawyer actually died age 77 in 1995, when Madam Calment was 120 years old, and his family continued making the payments until she died nearly three years’ later. Her only comment on the situation? “In life, one sometimes makes bad deals.”
I never deal with customers in my line of work but sometimes I have to deal with such idiots that I wish I did.I hope I'll never have a job again in which I have to deal with customers.
Come on Cried, everyone loves a story about a lawyer screwed.Surely the interesting part of that story is not the apartment yarn but the fact that she was possibly the oldest human ever?
That, but not only, alas.Like journal editors who won't answer to why they forget about publishing an article?
That's happened to me before.Like journal editors who won't answer to why they forget about publishing an article?
No, but I listened to a podcast with Paul Stanley recently.Do you read the Daily Express by any chance?
