No plates smashing at symphonic gigs, lol! And concerts probably means new music and from that new ideas for fanactions. (as Mika has meanwhile deleted the plate-smashing-on-his-head story, he might not be too thrilled by his fans following his silly drunk ideas anyway ) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the link. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSed0LBIb-O/ There were as well a lot of stories made the 4th of August. They are available on Brut account. There's also a thread on Twitter by Ibrahim Maalouf about the current situation in Lebanon. It's in French, but the Twitter translation helps: From what he writes, the complete infrastructure will break down in the next few hours / days, because there's no fuel anymore for the power generators. I also read a Twitter thread by a Lebanese journalist who says they have only 2 hours of power each day and he charges his phone with a solar battery. Which makes me wonder, would it maybe help the people, at least a little bit, if solar power plants were set up? If even the hospital claims that people will die because they have no fuel for the generators, it all seems to depend very much on fossile energy. Why can't foreign helpers invest in solar power, wind power instead of saying Lebanon won't get any money as long as their politicians are so corrupt? It would not just help the people but even the environment. Well they should've done that already a year ago, now it's too late. The corrupt politicians in Lebanon are the reason for all this, but it also makes me angry that other states say there's nothing we can do to help because the politicians will keep the money for themselves. Of course they will, but then just go and help the people directly, in whichever way you can! Even though our donations for the Lebanese Red Cross are just a drop in the ocean, I hope they can help at least a little bit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Corruption amongst govenment officials is one reason why many aid agencies now make direct payments to the people affected, rather than give the money to governments. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No drunken shenanigans there. I mean 'wearing fake moustaches', as in one each. 'A moustache' makes it sound like we're all sharing one long winding tache like a snake.

And it's understandable. Smash! down on the floor! What he's doing in the next story looks like playing frisbee, that doesn't look as much fun (especially as you probably have to take care not to hit anyone with your frisbee plate, lol! ). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point, I didn't think of that. I think they use special plaster plates, so it crumbles more like chalk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Just now, Hero said: Didn't he look elegant doing it, though. indeed, he did. Just now, Hero said: That's a good point, I didn't think of that. I think they use special plaster plates, so it crumbles more like chalk. Yeah, maybe. They surely aren't like the plates we have at home - those hardly break, but if they do, they have really sharp edges, like glass. Anyway the first plate smashed "on" Mika's head actually gets smashed by the other plate and not really on his head. The 2nd one goes on his head directly and he doesn't look that happy anymore then. Maybe he discovered a bruise on his head today from that and thus decided that it's too dangerous to keep the story online. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
