Fadette. Mia culpa!
If my laughing offended you, I apologise. I just found it amusing that you should claim to be left speechless, when your posts would indicate that you are, in fact, still quite voluble, and yes, it made me laugh - out loud!
To put your mind at rest, I was not offended by your accusations against me, as someone posting on this forum about what you suggest are trivial matters at this time of such awful catastrophe and suffering. In fact that made me laugh, too, so no apology from you is necessary.
Perhaps the large full moon has affected us more than we know!
my accusations against you??? Im lot here. what did I accuse you of?
I mentioned people having a laugh. that s not going around accusing people, that is another level which I dont think I want to take seriously (the poking, cheeky remarks here I welcome of course, I was also smiling when you picked up on my "speechless" statement. It is very true, I go on and on and then claim I am speechless! 🙂 )
however I take seriously the nuclear situation in Japan, and anywhere else...it is hard not to come talking about it on this forum, as here in France chemist stores are nearly looted for iodine tablets, every family has bought some and all day/night long you have special TV health documentaries about the different kinds of cancer and leukemia people usually get from radiation. I dont believe it is a plot to sell iodine as the government wants to put a full stop to the sales, saying it can be very harmful to take iodine without proper check up first (one could have a hyperthyroid or an allergy for example).
It is just that whether you are at work, in the tube, watch tv, walk in the streets with all the magazines covers talking about the cloud coming, or taking a taxi, the only thing people talk about is: WHEN will the cloud come (it will come, this is sure, now how much radiation there'll be we dont know yet. and if there will be some, and if it rains, then rain-prone French regions (West and North) families with babies (young children being the most vulnerable to radiations) will be the first at risks).
there is no avoiding the subject and frankly, I am glad people are maybe taking this too seriously for the taste of foreigners (but same reactions in Germany), I am glad the media dont try bombarding us with filler gossip and sport celebrity "news" to distract us and keep us in check.
Fadette, you have admitted to finding your statement funny so why make a remark on it.You have to admit it read quite funny 🙂
I think you may have insulted anyone who posted on the other thread, yes Japan is a diastrous event but we cannot go around with our heads stuck in the sand.
The moon was beautiful last night! x
it was lovely I wonder if it was that which made my assignment go walkabout on the computor, can't find the thing and if I still can't will have to rewrite it
