Negative. I have my own (copyrighted) Rule of Politics: Anyone who is possessed of the sort of mentality that is required to run for public office is unfit to hold it. :biggrin:

I can't believe I'm hearing that from a Spaniard!

A few hours work in the morning, then you all bugger off back to bed for the rest of the day, and you're calling the English lazy?! :biggrin:

I hate to shatter the illusion, but "WOOLEEDSFESTIVALYAY" doesn't begin with L.

COngratulations, you have discovered how much ironic were my words.

Well, take advantage of this time of rest. I think next year would be a difficult one working at an enterprise: stress..., burning,...nice secretaries and so on.

There was a comma between burning and secretaries... :wink:

Anyway, we spaniards usually burn secretaries in another way: they feel usually burned out because an spaniard boss will always flirt with his secretary by definition. :!)
