Frenchie

[quote user="Théière"]You called [:D][/quote]   [:)][:D] Hushhhh ! Aren't we entitled to some privacy baby  ?  [:D][:D][:D]

[quote user="You can call me Betty"]Clearly, the "double standards" of which Frenchie speaks are something even she is guilty of. I seem to remember there being quite some differences of opinion about Mr Strauss-Kahn as well. [/quote] I was thinking about it when I wrote my post... [:)] At the time , I tried to explain that the French have a different view about the private life of political men/ women. They are entitled to privacy. So when people learnt President Mitterrand had had a child with his mistress, clearly the vast majority of people estimated that it didn't make him a worse (or better! ) President.  It was just a fact. No scandal. At the time of the DSK story, many people on the forum argued that as long as you are famous, you know you are always susceptible of being spied upon, watched,etc.... , that in the UK privacy does not apply to political men,famous people... Does it to the members of the Royal family then ? ? By the way, my position is the same. These pics are against privacy.  In my view,everybody is entitled to some privacy,whatever the nationality. No double standards from me, you see........ But I think the reaction is out of proportion !!

I'd say " un p'tit jeune " ..

My gut feeling is that some of you have double standards depending on the person who's been photographed, and maybe her/his nationality...... I'm not against the Royal family, just don't care. Of course the paparrazzi are evil, but W&K indeed should have known better, they know too well what they can do... This does not deserve such revolt, IMHO.... And I'm more preoccupied about what's happening in Syria ,etc....  

Oh la la quel bazar ! [;-)]

I am so sorry to hear your news.......   Deborah helped my son get tickets to Le Mans 24 for his first time there, now, he's a real addict.. Deborah, on the forum and offline, was always so nice to us. I drive a Micra because I followed her advice to buy one when I wondered which choice to make..   Ian, may precious memories fill your heart and ease your pain..

Merci de tout coeur aussi. Dad was "only" 75, and what saddened me a lot is that I couldn't see him alive one last time... I had planned to go when on hols for Easter, arriving on the 22nd. He died on the 17th.......  My mum says he wouldn't have liked me to see him so ill... He had lost 13 kg in 2 months, could hardly eat and walk any longer... Poor dad, I miss him.. The last time I talked to him on the phone he sounded so vulnerable.. He said "quoi qu'il arrive, occupez vous bien de votre mère ". That's what I try to do, even if we live 900 k from each other. She came to my place for a month this summer. Was good to have her here. Thanks for your nice words & understanding..  [kiss]  

Oui ma caille .. Been through tough times in 2012, lost my dad from lung cancer (diagnosed in feb, died in April ...) , then my gran I loved so much too, then 2 uncles (dad's brothers..) ... J'ai été comme une huitre dans sa coquille pendant des mois...

Stunned is the word. Sad. Sh*tty life. Lost for words. Thinking of you both.
