One assumes the trip to Europe is now cancelled. smile


BBC said:
When Dana Snay learned her father had been awarded a cash settlement in an age-discrimination lawsuit against his former employer, the Miami-based Gulliver Preparatory School, she couldn't resist bragging about it.

"Mama and Papa Snay won the case against Gulliver," the teen posted to her 1,200 Facebook friends. "Gulliver is now officially paying for my vacation to Europe this summer. SUCK IT."

It was a bit of boasting that could end up costing the Snays the entire $80,000 (£47,750) settlement, reports the Miami Herald.

When Gulliver got wind of post, which didn't take long, as Dana was a former student, the school refused to pay a dime because the father had signed a confidentiality agreement - and on Wednesday a Florida appeals court found in its favour.

Oops sorry, came up on the 'most popular' box on the beeb website so assumed it was new. Mods feel free to lock.

Blimey, you're pretty humble. But, you're still a newbie. You'll soon be as obnoxious and argumentative as the rest of us. So, treasure your decent manners. For soon, they'll be gone.

Indeed, he'll soon be swallowed up whole and lost in this turgid, vile, steaming swirl of backsliding, backstabbing, arse-kissing, ignorant-assuming, feudal stew-pot of a dark ages hellhole!
