Thank you, Le^~, you always find the right tone of voice. I just wanted to
have a little friendly discussion to make the forum a bit exciting. I did
not mean to substitute "unemployment" for "war". I just wanted to make a
point about discussing personal situations versus discussing national and
international policies.
Le^~, war is a broad enough topic, now you want to talk about evil? Let's
go back and read what Anne Graham had to say on that topic (just kidding).
What is this concern about privacy? We don't say anything here that we
cannot say loudly in public, except maybe our middle age fantasies.
(Speaking of which, was there a film called Angelique et le Roy?)
Re: croisiere en peniche. We boat people can stack more than 130 on a
boat. I think 130 was the minimum number to have discount prices, but let
the CO answer.
