The obvious question to ask is what sort of cancer has he contracted. It would be easier to justify a link if he's got say bowel cancer than a brain tumour, for example.

In early November, Japan’s famous newscaster Norikazu Otsuka was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukaemia after eating agricultural produce from Fukushima prefecture on screen in an attempt to erase the nuclear stigma, which has all but destroyed the prefecture’s farming industry since the disaster.
“Just a coincidence?” speculated Japan’s largest newspaper after Mr Otsuka’s hospitalisation. “[such leukaemia] is predominant in small children, and an adult case is one in 100,000 annually in Japan.”

Wow, it's amazing how far one data point can get you these days :roll:

I'm not saying it couldn't be the cause, but seriously, come on!

In reality, it kind of doesn't matter now if there's an actual causal link or not, once the story is out. Now it's broken, you can pretty much guarantee nobody is going to want to buy anything grown there for a bloody long time, regardless of whether it's actually safe or not.

There was a sequel to one of my favourite films (The Hustler) and it's.. OK. (The Color of Money)

Also, in 1974:

Jack Nicholson, Chinatown
Gene Hackman, The Conversation
Albert Finney, Murder on the Orient Express
Al Pacino, Godfather II

... and Art Carney won the best actor Oscar for "Harry and Tonto".

Working 5 weeks with only 1 weekend where you haven't been in the office at all is a sure fire way to pee off your girlfriend who wants to spend time with you

One of the main reasons I never had a girlfriend, until I stopped working in the UK and spent time building a private life.

Do something about it, before it is too late. You work to live, not live to work. I learnt that lesson late in life, don't make the same mistake.
