Ryanair and Mme Sarkozy

Ryanair is at it again. First it's schoolgirls, now it's Mr and Mrs Sarkozy. How far can they go down this tasteless route? 'With Ryanair Gordon Brown can see through both eyes.' Maybe not. And, since the subject has come up, what about that Sarkozy eh? He looks like a shoe salesman who became president of France just to get Carla Bruni. The lady plainly likes variety and most of the obvious mating strategies - philosopher, film director, actor, singer-songwriter, Rolling Stones vocalist, rock guitarist, Hollywood star, comb-over tycoon and prime minister - had already been successfully deployed. President was about all that was left, if you don't count King, Pope or failed intellectual.  I don't suppose neurotic blogger would get a look in.

  1. And the only one ever likely to fly Ryanair is the philosopher, but she may well have been young at the time. And to mis-quote Frost totally, bloggers by nature prefer roads less well traveled on.

    Good question, but would Nige be interested in Carla? I hear that she owns Bill Oddie's Guidebook to British Birds but she also likes squirrels.

  3. Hey - now I understand what he sees in her, fascinating, paradoxical creature that she is. Clearly Sarko is a man of almost English discernment...

  4. Hey, who else do you know who's set the poems of Emily Dickinson to music and sung them?

  5. I think she might be a little shy around a failed intellectual, Bryan. They can be intimidating.
