    Only person in the place. Dying. Streets are deserted, it's like a ghost town.

    Every Frog in this office is out of here for the month of August. Only a few Dutch, British and me. Olympics all the way, not a tap being done.

    Monaco is good like that.

    Monaco is good like that.

    What do you do ? And how can I do it ?

    Bluff, anyone can do it.

    Try to learn stuff as you bluff, then you can mix what you know with bluffing. It becomes progressively easier.

    I'm an electrical engineer.

    Bluffing on the riviera would be a dream come true :cool:

    Are Monaco labour laws similar to the French ones then? The French offices in our company do damn-all, the laws make them almost impossible to fire. Great holidays as well. Stock-markets around the world could be burning down in flames but the French-boys won't let such a thing interrupt their lunch-break.

    Similar but they are a lot more militant in France. Striking is not as common in Monaco but the majority working here are French so there is a heavy influence. They are hilarious, they take two hours for lunch, arrive back at 2 o'clock and then announce they have to go for a haircut and disappear for another hour.
