Not Sarkozy's best day
Quel horreur! Forbes Magazine puts Nick at #56 on the list of 67 World's Most Powerful Men, beaten by bankers, perfume magnates and drug barons.
And the Irish aren't nice to him either. Here is a hilarious correspondence between Irish and French diplomats about a request for a presidential VIP box at this weekend's rugby match football play-off between the Greens and les Bleus.

Simon mi'lad, you need a bit o'time in Ireland to scratch the wit of the Irish. T'has nay to do with French 'esprit'.
p.s. and check out the street address!

The street address and the "logo"… that's monarchy (the Fleur de Lys), not the Repubublic.

Do you believe the exchange might be authentic?
I don't. Quite aside from the weird rudeness of the Irish guy, certainly in his last reply,
a/ France have an embassy in Dublin. Why put in a request concerning the head of state through some consulate?
b/ I've just had a few exchanges with the French Consulate in my own country, I can witness that French Consulates have their own address on their letterhead, not some address in France.
c/ Check the postcode: Paris is 75, not 74.
