Directive from a painter

A painter, discussed with the customer how he wanted the various rooms of his house painted.
-In the Hall, we want to have painted in yellow colour, "said the man.
-OK, replied the painter and wrote it down in his notebook. Then he went up to the window, opened it and shouted: "green side up!"
-In the living room, we want the blue wallpaper with flowers on it, "said the man.
-OK, replied the painter and wrote down the block. Then he went back up to the window, opened it and shouted: "green side up!"
-In the bedroom as we want it painted green with the yellow band that you showed us before, "said the man.
-OK, replied the painter. Then repeated the procedure; He wrote down the pad and went back up to the window, opened it and shouted: "green side up!"
The man who now has become very confused could no longer stay but asked the painter, why hold on to shout ' green side up ' all the time?
The painter replied, "Oh, sorry! Yeah it is so that I have a few new recruits blondes who right now are putting out a finished lawn on the other side of the street. "

"Skavsta fall victim to Ryanair's policy of blackmail"

Flagship Ryanair Skavsta threatened with closure. 100 million is taken, but no one wants to pay for the Bill.

-Skavsta fall victim to Ryanair's blackmail policy, which is to be supported by the airport instead to pay for itself, and otherwise threaten to move, says Jan Ohlsson, editor-in-Chief at travelinsider.
He said that the current conflict between Nyköping municipality and Spanish TBI, majority owner of Skavsta, is essentially a conflict between TBI and Ryanair.
TBI owns 90.1 percent of Skavsta airport, which is located in Nyköping, 100 km south of Stockholm. Other 9.9 percent owned by the municipality.
Now TBI's President Carlos del Rio in a letter to the municipality, the Chairman of the Urban Granström (S) there is no money for the renovation of the main runway. Something needs to happen within the next 36 months – and is estimated to cost 100 million kronor.
The owners think that the EU or the taxpayers or should step in and pay for the Bill, which Granström think is unreasonable.
– There is scope in the airport and then not Nyköping taxpayers having to pay money to a Spanish multimiljardkoncern, he told Södermanlands Nyheter.
Although Skavsta has grown from 200,000 passengers a year to become the country's third largest airport with 2.5 million passengers, the loss.
With so much traffic would airports go around but Ryanair is champion of paying as little as possible in fees for landing, traffic management, parking and an airline usually stands for. They are infamous for this and has already delivered a dozen airports in Europe because they do not want to pay for itself, "says expert Jan Ohlsson.
In addition to the main actor Ryanair, the low-cost airline Wizzair mainly flies to Skavsta and many of Sweden's cheapest air travel goes from here.
What would it mean if Skavsta is closed?
– I do not think it will be so. This is a question about who's the toughest negotiations but Ryanair is very keen to continue to fly away, says Jan Ohlsson, who doubts that the Irish airline would drop its competitor Wizzair.

– However, if Ryanair would continue to haggle with TBI and really pull out, we would have higher flight prices in Sweden. Skavsta and Ryanair doesn't mean very much for competition.

At the Club

A mobile phone rings and one of the men in the locker room responds "hands-free" with the loudspeaker. Everyone else in the room listening.
Man: HELLO!
Woman: Honey, I am. Are you at the Club?
Man: Yes
Woman: I am in Clowntown, and have found a great leather jacket. It costs only $ 7500. Is it OK if I buy it?
Man: Yes, of course, if you now think so much about it.
Woman: now that I have you on the line so ... I was also just past the Mercedes to be mounted on which star you know. They have received in 2011 model year, and they had a superhäftig SL500. It is precisely this which I always liked me.
Man: what is it?

Man: OK, so buy it then, but for the price, it also included a snow tyre!
Woman: thank you, dear what is pretty. It was just one more thing. Summer house we looked at last year, is for sale again. For 10 500 000 SEK.
Man: OK, give only 10 million. It accepts they are safe and do not, so give them the half billion. After all, it is a good price.
Woman: OK. I'll see you later. I love you, princessmisia!
Supervisor: bye-I love you too.
The phone call ends and the other men in the locker room staring at him-to score — until the man with a big smile says:
Man: is there anyone here who know whose phone it is?

Cannot European tourists show that they have enough money to be able to stay for a week at the hotel, they are sent back home. This spring was stopped six young Spaniards on the ground at the airport in São Paulo and was sent home with the return plan.
In other areas, Brazil has shown that one does not need Europe. In free trade negotiations with the EU thought Brazil that the EU made unreasonable demands and signed agreements with China and India instead. At the same time, the country managed to attract substantial investment from the arab world's seven largest economies.
On our own continent is now other countries grumbling about imperialistfasoner. Brazil is accused of behaving like a new United States. Last year, Argentina threw out a Brazilian company from a mine, then it is not fulfilled promises to hire local labour and in Bolivia created a Brazilian infrastructure projects a national crisis and the farmers called their president for "Brasilienlakej". The next step for Brazil is to conquer Africa.
