"Oh, good. We'll book."

In week 2 of a 4-week let (in France):
"I really miss having television, could you organise it please? I see there's a dish on the roof so can't you connect it up?"
Me (manager) :
"I'm sorry, no, the owner prefers not to have a TV in the property. The dish is in fact on next door's roof and belongs to them. But, out of interest in case the owner changes his mind - this is his first year letting - would you have liked French or English channels, and do you think we should also provide channels for the other nationalities who have booked this season which so far include Dutch, Belgian and German? Also how much more do you think the rental price should be with TV?"
Guest : "I'd hadn't thought about non-English channels, do people watch foreign TV?"!

Then, smiling, I thrust the screwdriver between his second and third ribs and twisted it sharply upwards through his heart.

"Hope you enjoy it", I said.

oh god... I can't belieeeeve it! (best Victor meldrew voice!)

You can't please all of the people all of the time.. and sometimes you can't please any of them any time...

"The seagulls are much louder here than the ones we have at home".

So, I asked "You do know it's illegal to keep seagulls?"

Her look could not be described as "bemused", more "blank".

Her husband got it, shrugged and smiled that knowing smile "And I married her" look.
