Two obvious giveaways: 1. COBRA meetings are for emergencies only;   2. Boris cunting Johnson wouldn't bother his arse to attend one even when there is an emergency.

What is the rule on drinking in public @Arnaud?    My mate wants to have a wander before going to the pub Saint Germain, I told him to go by the Louvre and cross the Pont Neuf. I said he should get a few cans/bottles and sit down in the Royal Park next to the Louvre.    Also said to sit on the banks of the Seine and have a drink near Cite.    He's only really got to cross the bridge to Odeon or Mabillion and then he's there. He's flying in at 8.30 to Beauvais airport but that is 55 miles away. 

Delighted to see Bianca Walkden becoming  European champ after her travails at the Olympics. First thing she said was that if she could be the best in Europe, so can the Reds in Paris.

When stuff like this happens, we all know there is only one credible explanation.   Space Godzilla.    

A high of 26 degrees in Paris next Saturday and 22 degrees at 8pm kick off time.  Hot and relatively humid. This will probably suit Madrid.  Bring the sun block
