dr orloff Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yes Hairyapple'ssister, there has been some reasonable discussion. But it's a shame, IMHO, that it can't all be like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I am totally with Nectarine on this one. Yes I know it is lying, but sorry, that is what I would do I were in Janes position. After all they had both entered into an illegal arrangement. He would have to fight tooth and nail to get a penny out of me.However, it is likely he will contest this and will probably be believed. Especially if he resembles Brad Pit and Jane resembles Marti Feldman in a dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Oh - I don't know Katie, how many good looking men marry fairly ordinary looking women ? Sometimes they don't like competition, or are looking for a mother figure - not ALL good looking men go for Angelina Joli (thank goodness !)

woolybananasbrother Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Up til recently I'd have settled for a good woman but think I am too settled in my ways to start over except for a madcap passion, so its Miss Angelina Jolie or nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val_2 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Its been a while since the original posting and no word from the poster so obviously they have sorted the problem. I also saw this published on a couple of other french forums with much the same responses. To be honest, I personally wouldn't want the world to know my business if it was as troubled as this one has been posted would you? There are ways of asking for legal help without going into too much detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from total time wasters who have nothing better to do, I was told by a student that he and his friends join forums to get ideas on how to answer their course work. So if something looks like an exam question, it might well be just that.This one seemed genuine enough to me. But who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane56 could be in 56, aged 56, born in '56 or someone who lives in 56 with a budgie called Jane. [:D] A few paragraphs on a forum is not the same as standing up on a television show and spilling the beans.You've been here... getting on for 20 years, Val? - so you know your way around the administrative systems of France rather well and if you have a problem, you know how to begin to resolve it. Not everyone does so an anonymous request on a forum directly related to a problem doesn't seem that odd to me. And, of course, it could always be a known member (with a budgie called Jane [:P]) who doesn't want to appear daft by posting a question when they know perfectly well that they should have known better than to have got in the situation in the first place... so they join up under a second identity. Which, eagle-eyed as the mods are, I'm sure could happen.There's often suspicion too when a "new poster" asks a difficult, perhaps slightly panicky question. Well, in times of stress, isn't that the very time you'd be likely to happen on a French forum and explain the situation in the hope that someone else has been in a similar situation and / or can advise? Yes, I know that there are the obvious trolls, hand-holding businesses and students who occasionally try to take the p, but I think it's kinder to assume the best and try and help if possible rather only help if the poster has first been judged (on little evidence) as worthy of it.

Callie Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Reading back over the original poster's situation, and the fact that he/she has not made any response, I would say the whole thing stinks ! Most of us are only too willing to try and help someone who has a problem, but if there is no feedback, you are left feeling "why did I bother?". I cannot imagine anyone getting the Prudhomme to write a letter without a shred of evidence that there was any wrongdoing. There was no contract, no payslip, nothing in writing, .....nothing. No legs to stand on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancer Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 That rather depends if one has decided which of them, either the lady or her friend is lying and deceitful on the basis of a single posting or if one has kept an open mind. - I havn't [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nectarine Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 but as the original poster has put her side of the story and asked for advice, then that's what we should be responding to. And if her ex-friend decides to write and ask for advice on his side of the problem, then we could reply accordingly. But I don't think it's right for us to be judging whether or not they are 'deserving' of advice ... surely we should be free to post our questions (however ridiculous or simple or odd they may be) and the respondents should likewise be able to post their answers without it all turning into some kind of low-key moral debate.(no doubt this will set off yet another thread which is totally unrelated to the original poster's question !)
