    Bye

  2. Dan says:

    Hi Betty,

    I was wondering if you went to see Transformers 4. I did not.

    I heard that your hometown gets destroyed by a bunch of robots.

    I was just wondering what it feels like looking at your city getting destroyed by giants robots.

    If you did not see it, never mind.

    Thank you.

  3. Tania says:

    Hi, Dan! I have not watched “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver”.
    Thank you.
    You are right . It’s frightful to see a city destroyed by gigants. Where is the artistic emotion?
    I have seen many movies on this topic, especially with New York .
    It’s terriffying.
    I would ban this kind of films.

    Hi everyone

    ( podcast 1025 )

    I think I’m the only one here that don’t have any kind of social media, smartphone or something like that. I have e-mail and Skype, that’s all. My friend say that I’m a “primitive man” and I say that I’m a happy man any way rs

    Bye
