I think EB had to replace a door mirror on his Alfa. The new version shows a local warning saying: Caution, kangaroos may be closer than appear in the mirror!

You know French Bob, do you? One famous union leader is calling for strike in May or June, depending on the virus situation. We call this kind of gonzo "un responsable politique".

As to queuing for a baguette, we've just been told to stock them and buy once a week. Our fridges are already full. May be I should remove some "paper" from mine, was keeping it to get fresh news…

Touché is absolutely perfect, Viva. Congrats!
I remember wearing Diadora race boots. Wonderful but when hot, they sting! I've been told they're made with kangaroo skin but very much doubt that because they never made me fast!!

I understood that a lot of motorcycle racing leathers are made from kangaroo skin so presumably any "heat" problems are unfounded.
