Noooooooooo

Hang on in there Les pharaohs

They’re playing John Denver!

Wow Egypt!!!

Game on, Nige.

What could have motivated this utterly vile outburst? Some perverted desire for global fame? Think she can say goodbye to ever being able to step foot in France. Tant mieux.

As has been a pattern, setbacks have a good chance of being rather temporary. Not sure I would bet against the voters of Clacton reelecting him.

Condamnée

May today be a setback for the populist right in the U.K. and France. It pains me however that they are no longer the most “extreme” right…

Let me guess- he’s not going to quit.

Lots to unpack in @sarahoconnorft.ft.com ‘s piece today. Can see parts of the two tier labour market in Europe- France at least.

Heartwarming to see the love for Ronaldo on here.

On est tous belges.

Good grief

One good thing about the racist comments made by certain Paraguayans about the French team might be a greater national pride and defence of French multiculturalism.

I do believe the Portuguese have the edge.

A gift

C’est parti

Wow ENGIE service client must rank as one of the most unresponsive around

1998. Memories of sitting on a beach in Marseille watching France beat Paraguay. My first taste of French exuberance. Very special. What will tonight hold?

Chaturday- canicule cat

How bad is the sncf site for booking tickets

Cultural tourism in 35c heat is not recommended.

Mbappé magique

Go Maroc!

Not sure how I managed to get a stinking cold in a heatwave

Day 9 of the canicule.

Friend who lived in the Antilles showed me this life saver. Fill a bottle (not full) and stick it in the freezer. Stays ice cold all day.

Kind of odd that his 4 years as VC of UAL didn’t merit a mention www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

So sad to see people in Paris asking those with aircon to take care of their pets for a couple of days.

First time a Paris morning has felt like a morning in Singapore or sunmertime HK. Weird.

Feisty

There are no winners from Brexit. Just tears of bitterness and disillusion.

Oh lala messi énorme
