Eet eez ze same as a rosbif with ze name Ireland. But 400 years of ‘istory makes me French, Francois. Not like my old ami Dominique – ‘alf Alsatian, ‘alf Tunisian – un chien. As you see, moi, je préfère ze more ‘ow you say mature ladies. Zut alors!
Je m’appelle Hollande
Boadicea's Chariot 
On a French news website yesterday there was a photo of Monsieur Hollande and his partner Valérie. She was the scruffiest looking French lady I have seen. Bit of work to be done if she’s going to be the first lady of France. No sign of Botox, though.
Oh, I thought she was quite a pleasant looking lady, Sheona, and she doesn’t seem to want to be very high profile.
Oh yes, Araminta, pleasant looking, but not an example of French chic.
Sheona.
I’m probably judging her by my own deplorable standards.
I don’t think I’m even close to French chic. 🙂
Knew a French chic once…….. 🙂
