A calculator is device for performing mathematical calculations.

 

And, yes, you did forget.

You don't say ! I am sure even the Larousse can't make mistakes about such a simple word...

Sorry, still don't get you . Probably the language barrier, you being Belgian and I being French.

Marie-Thérèse

aww' date=' thank you robi, you cheer me up!! [/b'] i was feeling really very sorry!!!

you're right about the paps, that vid is so horrible...

 

thank you for your kind welcome!! it's a little hard but i'm trying to do my best and in the best way i can

 

p.s.: yep, i did it! my hand still hurts for all that writing!

On the contrary we should thank you for starting it : then we can enjoy the vid and pics, all the time being self-righteous, tut tutting and blaming you for posting them. Such fun !

So, thank you !

Marie-Thérèse

I don't drive a scooter or anything but I'd love to have me one of those It's so pretty and colorful... and shiny

Still talking about the scooter, right ?

M.-Th.

Right marie-andrée de rougemont Im going to say sorry to you here , I wouldnt expect someone to say that to me or my family so there is no way you should of been told that either

 

Very wrong of me and I can "generally" see my faults .. of which there are many

As for telling your contacts please feel free to , I think feedback to Mika and his team over the MFC can only be a positive thing I should be judged just as much as anyone.

 

Also to IDT3 etc ..sorry implying you are all one person

Is this thread open again? And FD

Yes, Saran I know, that a thread should be closed when an ordinary MFCer tries to post and then opened again when the adm wants to ... all the stranger as there is no double standard here, we all know that .

Freddie, your belated apologies don’t surprise me. It was just a matter of time before you publicly apologised after being privately asked to. Even voluntary workers have bosses. Which they often tend to forget. A reminder from time to time can’t hurt.

I always find it amusing to be allowed to do what I have every intention and every right to, as if I were just waiting for the mods and adm’s go ahead before taking any step.

And your blessing arrived a bit late, like your apologies, as they have already been informed. As you well know. I didn't feel free to, I am free to.

What I find interesting in your post is the fact that, once more, after a former PM where you acknowledged your mistake and expressed a wish to make up for it –strange ways you have to do that- you admit that my son, my mother and I are three different fans, which makes sense, physiologically speaking, so that the infractions you generously showered onto our accounts have to be cancelled and I here reiterate what I told you in a former PM : we want to have three different accounts –surely, even in these times of crisis, you don’t demand that families share one, as they share computers ?-, Marie-Andrée de Rougemont, Identicaltwin3 and myself ; I’ll think of a suitable alias and let you know.

I am happy of the reopening of this thread to make matters clear about the post that triggered off your insulting, venomous and absurd post. Incidentally if your gran –may she rest in peace- is years gone, she must be past looking old.

As I don’t for one moment think you would post after drinking heavily, more than you would go to a gig under the influence, I tried to understand. An intellectual’s curse : the need to understand :rolls_eyes: …

My post was jocularly alarmed at seeing that you liked Mica's outfit and thinking it might influence yours which, apart from the bush hat I admired at SW, is much more subdued, good thing as only M can get away with his.

I never one moment implied that given your difference in bulk, you would be wise not to dress like him, and it would sadden me to think you may have understood that.

I am no figure bigot, one way or the other. As a matter of fact, I was fat once –I am not afraid of the ‘f’ word-, didn’t feel comfortable about it so did what it took to become slim, even if it meant adding a few lines to my face. But I don’t despise larger people now more than I envied thin ones then.

Actually I find well-padded men very attractive .

I publicly ask you here, if you ever catch me making fun of people's weight, to shoot me, please... tempting ?

Marie-Thérèse

I sure am! (Lovely AND a fangurl, that is)

 

But you seem to have put the bit about not being sarcastic in the wrong place

Did you notice the guy in the yellow Lacoste shirt, thirtyish, well-padded, was there with the wife and kid, second row so in front of you, slightly to the left who shook it like mad for the whole concert ? He made me feel happy. Even happier, I mean.

Talking about the concert, has a set list been posted here ? I seem to be unable to trace it. In a report, maybe ?

No, what I wrote about you was off topic, and I was bowing to Kata, I think, for being interested only in music, not gossips and the gutter press... it's is just that as I am so often sarcastic, when I am not I feel I have to warn people !

When I was a teacher it was the same : I would compliment a kid on his answer, or his behaviour and he would look at me, thinking very loud : 'OK, here she is pulling my leg...'.

The story of my life : completely misunderstood !

Marie-Thérèse

Get - yourself - a - ... calculator

 

Babyyyyyyyyy, did you forget ... ?

Sorry, dear, unable to understand your post... you should really get rid of that Larousse, it disagrees with you.

M.-Th.

more than non interested, it makes fans run away from threads.

 

in case the nonsense goes on and on, i suggest to close this thread that, besides the last pages, was bad enough from the start 'cause it showed mika harassed by paps.

FREDDIESDOUBLE most certainly did ...

Marie-Thérèse

Firstly: Poor Freddie. Scared he'll be living in a box with his lager and an inflatable crocodile, listening to Songs for Sorrow, questioning his sexuality, waiting for Christian Louboutin to come rescue him on a scooter..

 

 

I don't find referring to MFC as "the forum" being dismissive at all. This is a forum. It's factual. A fan club is a group of people dedicated to something, or someone. We are a fan club. THIS is a forum.

But, I have to ask: if you don't find MFC important then why are you here?

 

Firstly, yes, it is useful. The idea of the MFC is to belong to a community and contribute to it. Help it grow. Make it stronger.

Secondly, I don't know the history of you and your family on here or anywhere else for that matter, and to be honest, I don't even care to know. You're not interesting to me and I'd prefer not to read about you and your family in every hot topic thread. This thread isn't about you and them. No thread on MFC is as far as I know unless you made an introductory thread. So, can we stay on topic from now on and just focus on Mika like we should be.

 

Well, that's very nice of you and is greatly appreciated.

 

Oh, come on. No one here even cares if your mum knows Mika or not..

 

I don't even get excited when I see Perez log in.

I'd love not to read about my family in the threads, I have repeatedly reminded people who tend to unhealthily focus on us of the fact that this is a Mika fanclub

Unfortunately neither the mods nor the adm seem able to do so for long, probably because they won't admit that there accusations of multiple accounts had no foundation. Although Freddiesdouble did admit it in a PM a couple of weeks ago.

The point is that now, after posting again a hallucinatory message and having been privately warned, the adm is lying low, which is a result. Let's hope he'll set an example, which would be a first. He is more often tut tutting about other MFCers' fending.

I don't think you have to believe that a FC is important to be part of it. The forums are useful. Other MFCers can be give me useful information, I can in a more modest way give them some too. I don't expect more. You can be part of a FC without being an activist, I suppose.

Marie-Thérèse

He really is a total star, isn't he? So lovely.

Mana and I were speaking to him after the last Paris gig and he said that it had been great to see us at the front at the gigs, "guiding" him throughout the tour.

That comment truly left me touched. Him, thanking us, and saying that our presence and support had helped him. Wow.

What is unbelievable is not that he should say it, after all that might be a few PC words thrown at fans, the American way, what is incredibly touching is that he was just expressing his true feelings .

He doesn't only love to be admired , which, considering the job he has chosen for himself -or which has chosen him ?- is only natural, he also loves to be loved, which is good because he is a most lovable person .

Mika est décidément une star à part. Le 12 juin dernier' date=' le chanteur était surpris à la sortie de son hôtel, Le Georges V, à Paris.

 

Il était dans notre capitale pour assurer deux concerts au Cirque d'Hiver (les 11 et 12 juin). Cela faisait un an déjà qu'il n'était pas venu à Paris. La dernière fois, c'était au Parc des Princes.

 

Alors que les stars qui sortent du Georges V montent habituellement dans des limousines, lui non. Il enfourche... un scooter, en toute simplicité. Vêtu d'une veste à carreaux de couleurs (couverte de badges) et d'un jean, Mika avait une nouvelle fois le bon look.

 

L'accessoire du jour ? Un collier avec un petit bonhomme nu... La classe ! On attend désormais son deuxième album avec imaptience. Vous en voulez un avant-goût ? Cliquez ici

 

 

[i']Mika is definitely a special star. On June 12th the singer was caught going out of his hotel, the George V, in Paris.

 

He was staying in our capital to give two concerts at the Cirque d'Hiver, on June 11th and 12th. It was already a year since he had last come to Paris, the last time being at the Parc des Princes.

 

While stars who go out of the George V usually use limos, he doesn't. He quite simply jumps onto... a scooter.

Wearing a colourfully checkered jacket, covered in badges, and jeans, he once more had the right look.

 

Latest toilet requisite ? A necklace with a naked little man... stylish !

 

We are now waiting impatiently for his second album. Want a foretaste of it ? Click here.[/i]

 

The silly b... wrote Georges V, with an 's', because that's the French spelling but the George who gave the hotel its name was an English king.

 

If it's not entirely off topic after a translation... I love him in white trainers .

Actually I love it when he is dressed in a very simple or even conservative way because it brings out his amazing class .

When he is wearing outrageous outfits, it does bring it out too, but in a more negative way, as in 'OMG, the guy must have class if he can wear that and survive !'

 

Marie-Thérèse

 

The title was, I believe : 'Mika, the guy next door... and he is cute into the bargain !

Du beau monde dans le palace parisien ce week-end ! Les acteurs américains Shia Lebeouf et Megan Fox' date=' dont la récente idylle fait beaucoup de buzz sur internet, ont passé la nuit ensemble dans l’une des chambres du George V. Parmi les clients de l’hôtel, Mika a profité de sa mini tournée pour s’offrir une nuit dans le palace. Hier soir, le chanteur assurait le show au Cirque d’hiver dans le 11ème arrondissement de Paris pour un concert en acoustique. Cette mini tournée est un avant-goût de son deuxième album qui sortira en septembre. J.DLR.

There were beautiful people in that luxury hotel this week-end !

SL and MF, whose new affair has caused quite a stir on the Internet, shared a room at the George V last night.

Among the hotel guests was Mika, who took advantage of his mini-tour to treat himself to a room there.

Last night the singer did an acoustic show at the Cirque d'Hiver, in Paris XXth arrt.

The mini-tour gives a fore-taste of his second album to be released in September.

i checked around' date=' and it seems that it's not been posted yet

Après avoir fait son cirque sur la piste du Bouglione avant-hier et hier soir, où il chantait les nouveaux tubes de son nouvel album Songs for Sorrow , Mika n'a eu besoin que du reste de la nuit pour se remettre de ses concerts, avant de repartir en selle le sourire au lèvres ! C'est dans une tenue haute en couleur et une attitude hyper décontractée que le chanteur a quitté le luxueux George V, devant lequel l'attendait... un scooter ! Les limousines et les grosses berlines, très peu pour lui : Mika préfère ce qu'il y a de plus simple pour naviguer dans la capitale, sans se faire remarquer. Cela aurait presque pu réussir, si son gilet n'attirait pas autant l'attention!

Tentative translation :

After doing his circus on the Bouglione ring, yesterday evening and the night before, and singing some of the new hits from his new album, 'Songs for Sorrow', Mika only needed the rest of the night to recover from his gigs.

Before getting back in the saddle again, with a smile on his lips !

It's in a flamboyant outfit that the singer left the luxury Hotel George V, in front of which... a scooter was waiting for him !

Limos and big saloon cars, not his cup of tea.

Mika favours what is the most convenient way of negotiating the capital's street, without attracting attention. He might have nearly succeeded, had not his sweater been so eye-catching.

I am sorry, 'tout ce cirque' means 'all that jazz' so it is a bit derogatory and I was unable to render it. Come to think of it, given the kind of newspaper, they probably never thought that far...

Marie-Thérèse

I wonder if Mika's bum got numb from all that scooting around town.

 

I know mine does when we do it together.

We reallly are devoted and dedicated fans, all of us worrying about Mica's bum reaction to long scooting around. He is lucky, we are very special people.

My command of the English language is very poor and I am wondering, now, if 'fantasizing' wouldn't have been more appropriate than 'worrying' ...

And anyway we shouldn't be worrying too much : from the George V to the Cirque d'Hiver it is at most 15 mn's, very likely less as CL seems to be brilliant on a saddle .

M.-Th.

We all like to think MFC is important but my hunch is that Mika and his collaborator (Es Devlin? Imogen Heap? Dawack? Jodi Marr?) might have other priorities beyond copying pics of your mother to give to members of a message board.

 

If they're too busy, perhaps you could try another one of Mika's collaborators - Perez Hilton. Word on the street is that he loves hearing complaints about what goes on on MFC.

I don’t think that the MFC -rather dismissively referred to as ‘the forum’ by Mica’s people- is very important. It is very useful as it allows fans to share information, pictures and videos, although I must admit shamefully that my mother and I have been often been on the receiving side.

That is why it was I was so anxious to post the video of the Beirut press conference because it is the only footage that has been circulating, local televisions only showing very small extract of it. I was very privileged to be admitted and happy to share that privilege with other members.

Fishing for information ? Sorry, I won’t give her name, unlike you who flash them around. She doesn’t appear in gossip columns, is content with working in the big man’s shadow and doing a beautiful job. Some people don’t flirt with the spotlights.

You seem to find it difficult to understand what has actually been written in posts you are reacting to. Language barrier ?

I never told Niki to mind her own business and not intervene as a mod, I was responding to her offer -witty in her eyes I suppose- to lend me her dad or one of his lawyers friends. Her dad who, given her own age, must have been long superannuated. Surely it is all right to joke about MFCers’ age and their elderly parents, as it seems to be allowed to the administrator ? As we all know, there is no double standard on this forum .

In the same way, I know that Mica has family and friends who would be delighted to photocopy a document for him, to say nothing of his shoe shining guy who would feel promoted. Better still, I am sure the ‘boy’ can do it to, I have been told that they teach them how to photocopy documents in kindergarten…

Furthermore, and strange as it may seem to people who think of him as a pampered nonentity, he can and does write and send letters. Abiding by the French rule, which the Lebanese middle-class have adopted, he always writes his personal letters by hand. His is a beautiful, flamboyant, nervous and slightly overwhelming writing. Much like the man himself I suppose.

Still he is also very charitable and so wouldn't like to be instrumental in shattering some MFCers' delusions, hallucinations or fantasies by giving them proof that Marie-Andrée de Rougemont is a bona fide member of this forum.

Living in denial must have some advantages and give pleasure or nobody would chose to.

Marie-Thérèse

Parler anglais s'il vous plaît.

Sorry ! But as they say in schoolyards : 'She did it first.'

M.-Th.

Nous ne travaillons pas dans le même genre de collèges alors!

Si on devait disserter pendant des pages et des pages à chaque fois que quelqu'un dit un mot de travers, le MFC deviendrait illisible et ce serait accorder beaucoup d'importance à ces "vilains" mots! Et oui, titiller à ce point devient de l'enfantillage, de mon point de vue....

Alors peut-êre que l'infantilisme est contagieux ? Dans mon collège un élève qui aurait insulté n'importe quel personnel, professeur ou agent d'entretien, de 16 ans son aîné, passerait en conseil de discipline une première fois, une récidive amenant une exclusion. Je suis navrée pour vous si votre principal(e) n'a pas la poigne nécessaire pour diriger un établissement scolaire.

Est peut-être aussi contagieuse la paranoia -prendre pour une critique personnelle ce qui est dirigé vers une autre personne-... Mais ici je ne vois pas bien contre qui étaient dirigées ces insultes, sinon moi. Si je me suis trompée et que je n'en étais pas la cible, je suis prête à m'excuser.

M.-Th.

I'd kill for those shoes. Go all Victoria Beckham on them. Damn the pricetag!

Exactly ! VB always looks as if she were sulking while actually she is in pain. In her CL shoes...

Marie-Thérèse

Hi Chopotte!

 

Thought he was, i see his face in every Vogue or Elle I read here in Portugal!

Would rather see Mica's, I am sure.

And just looking at his shoes make my feet ache. Are you really all gagging for them or is it just a joke, a make believe fangurl thing ?

Marie-Thérèse

rhoooooooooooooo voyons voyons..... Les apparences sont tellement trompeuses.... Pour vous avoir rencontré vendredi, j'ignorais qu'une femme d'une telle classe que vous puisse s'abaisser à une telle mesquinerie et de tels enfantillages.... Voyons, cessez!

Vous parlez d'enfantillages ? Le message de Freddie était du niveau -école primaire- des insultes de cour de récréation .

Mes élèves de collège sont mieux élevés, fort heureusement !

Marie-Thérèse

First you cry foul because moderators do not intervene and now you are telling Niki to mind her own business?

 

Your games are incredibly tiresome and so is this ridiculous talk of "Mica's collaborators". Unless you are speaking of Imogen Heap or Greg Wells I can't imagine who you are even referring to since the guy who shines Mika's shoes or whoever it is that you think you know is not what is commonly referred to in English as a collaborator of an artist.

 

If you are so sincerely concerned with the protection of Mika's image and assuring that all here are fond of Mika why don't you start by taking your son to task and admonish him not to insult Mika's character and appearance ad nauseam?

 

I find both your styles alternately amusing and irritating, but you are by far the most consistently rude posters on the forum, so you should not be surprised that you are now reaping what you have sown.

I don’t remember asking the mods to intervene as I have often pointed out their double standard and have always been pretty sure –and it has just happened here to prove me right- that they won’t criticise the administrator for being insulting or rude on a thread.

She will love being called ‘the guy who shines Mika’s shoes’ ; it might even amuse her.

I know that middle age MFCers consider that a twenty-five ‘boy’ should be scolded when he misbehaves but I don’t put grown ups in metaphorical diapers, either Mica or my son. Incidentallly, I have often found that people who advise parents are the ones who either have no children or have screwed up their children’s education.

Id3 admires the artist tremendously, he often finds the man, or rather the persona, horripilating, which in its turn sometimes annoys me. We agree to disagree, with respect, always.

I am happy to see that you do accept the idea that Id3 is a real person, next step my mother. Whose photo Mika will certainly be happy to send a copy of to whoever asks nicely, but then they won't be anxious to see their wild fantasies shattered.

I guess that Freddiesdouble, who must have been made to realise, privately, that he has gone too far, will from now on put innocuous posts on this thread.

Marie-Thérèse

Oh man. I now remember why I never wanted to be an adult.

Don't worry, as long as you keep off the liquor you should be fine...

M.-Th.

Shame you can give personnel comments out but mm cant take them , lets share that same lawyer .. I have saved your comments too

You don't know much about the law, do you, people don't share lawyers, they are like toothbrushes... unless you ...

Very wise.

Marie-Thérèse

My dear Marie-Thérèse,

 

Considering you and FD have had this little game going on for a while now, I don't see why mods should interfere... If we misunderstood and you were offended, let me remind you there is a "report" button, and that you can also PM us any time.

 

Please be sure, however, that I will ask FD not to question your mother's existence publicly anymore, just like I will ask you not to question FD's mental health publicly again. Seems fair, what you think?

 

Please feel free to contact Mika's management tho I am not sure that with the release of his second album and his upcoming festivals and hopefully, tour, they have nothing better to do than deal with a little argument between two adult fans.

 

If you like, and if you judge the situation THAT important, I don't mind contacting them myself, btw...

 

Cheers.

 

Niki.

Perhaps because as the administrator of the FC he should set an example ?

Thank you for your go-ahead, which I didn't ask for, but you are prone on giving unasked for advice, it is a little idiosyncrasy of yours. I didn't wait for it.

Does 'Mind your own business' or 'Have a life' sound insulting ? Even more insulting that Freddie's post ? A matter of education, I suppose.

And yes, it is important, not as a personal issue, my feelings being hurt -fortunately my mother is spared the unpleasantness as I translate posts for her- or Freddie being a childish Boer, but because the MFC is part of Mica's image. THAT is important. To me anyway. And to his collaborators, who are all genuinely fond of him.

Wish everybody here were.

Marie-Thérèse

If there's a "?", it's a question, not an answer

 

If you need a Belgian lawyer, I could redirect you to my dad or one of his many colleagues. They might even help you for free, who knows, if I ask gently

As for contacting Mica's collaborators, I'm pretty sure the MFC mod team could also help you out with this if necessary. Although I'm sure you have close contacts with them and don't need our help

Thank you, my partner, a lawyer too, has already contacted a very good man, and I can afford his fee, but it was very sweet of you to offer . Incidentally I was not looking for a Belgian lawyer -just a man specialising in the Internet . He just happens to be from Belgium.

As for needing the help of the mods, as they didn't feel necessary to remind the administrator of some basic rules of the MFC -I am sure that there must be one about not insulting a middle age member about her wrinkled face... I don't believe you would be of any help.

A few days ago in a PM I have kept of course, I have kept them all, the administrator apologised for having aired doubts about the reality of my family. He seems to be suffering from hallucinations again. I can't do anything for him I am afraid.

He may not be sensitive enough to realise that seing my mother's existence denied at a time when her growing frailty is making us acutely aware of the fact that she might not be with us in a few months or, hopefully, years, is very painful to us.

I have just sent Mica's collaborator copies of the posts and reminded her of the fact that voluntary work can turn out to be very expensive indeed.

Marie-Thérèse

Are you that desperate for an answer that you need to repost the same thing 20 minutes later?

Just asking uh

Nope, I am desperate for nothing, and certainly not for a grossly insulting answer. Just couldn't find mine on the thread ...

Was a bit busy considering the legal issues with a Belgian lawyer specialising in Internet matters and alerting a close collaborator of Mica's, must have missed it.

Sorry for double posting ...

Marie-Thérèse
