Future Continuous Activity

John was a useless bank worker; he was lazy and forever dreaming. His co-workers always complained bitterly about how much work they had to do to make up for him; little did they know that actually he had plans.

One day he was resting on his desk; his boss saw this and told him to get to work. John said, “I’ll have it all done by 2 pm, I promise.” “You will” screamed his boss, “or you’ll be collecting your last pay check this time tomorrow.” John wasn’t bothered, under his breath he said, “Not to worry, I’ll be relaxing on a beach this time next week; I won’t be worrying about my pay check. I’ll have got enough money to last my whole life by the end of today!” His colleagues heard this; what did it mean, he’ll have made enough money by then?

“Ha, ha,” John laughed, “I have a plan. By the end of the day, I’ll have broken into safe; I’ll have taken some of the money left there and I’ll have spent my last few miserable hours in this bank.” When one of the girls asked him what he was saying he repeated more clearly, “At 10 am this time next week, I’ll be flying to Mexico with my girlfriend; I certainly won’t be thinking about this bank.” Little did John know that his colleagues had taped everything, “We don’t think, he’ll be laughing this time next week!”

See you on Saturday

Someone Like You

Adele

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you
Old friend
Why are you so shy
It ain't like you to hold back
Or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
You'd know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summery haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over yet
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes they're memories made
Who would have known how bitter-sweet this would taste
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah, yeah
