"pot de départ en prison" is such a perfect little phrase. You can't quite say it as elegantly in English (Leaving for prison drinks? Just doesn't have the same ring to it)

Le secrétaire général de l’Elysée, Rachida Dati et une conseillère de Macron assistent au pot de départ en prison de Sarkozy

Parmi la centaine d’invités venus le soutenir avant son incarcération, l’ex-chef de l’Etat a pu compter sur plusieurs fidèles au cœur du pouvoir macroniste.

the biggest laugh is, there’s a scene where Jeremy Irons, as patriarch Rodolfo Gucci, is acting his arse off, and he’s playing it against Leto, who is doing full Dolmio, and it’s perfect because Rodolfo despises him and Irons looks like he’s channeling that, and then we smash cut to Rodolfo’s grave

honestly Leto’s scenes in that? Some of the biggest laughs I have ever guffawed in a cinema. My wife was elbowing me in the ribs

he was fantastic as Paolo Gucci though, I stand by that

Jared Leto in HOUSE OF GUCCI. Actually no it’s the puppet Italian stereotype grandpa in the Dolmio pasta sauce adverts. He’s holding a jar of sauce while his wife twinkles feltly in the background

they're coming through wardrobes, folks, and they're coming over through portals on train platforms and schoolyard walls, and by using rings of various colors, and they're saying "oh bother" and "by Jove" and they're taking over narnia folks and eating all the turkish delight, they eat the delight

Keir Starmer announces he is nationalising KP Snacks and reintroducing the Brannigans crisp brand. Polls immediately show a 20 point boost for Labour, as economists revise GDP projections upwards by 8%. Nigel Farage stamps his foot so hard he crashes through the floor into Hell like Rumpelstiltskin

MF said ‘incredibly fidelity’

Look we haven’t even mentioned the ham and pickle ones, which managed to somehow incorporate both flavours with incredibly fidelity. My worry is that it’s now been fifteen years and the technology to create these may have been lost.

sometimes there would be a crisp that had got Too Much Mustard, they were the best ones

he really is just doing, like, pet construction projects now? adding gold leaf to everything, building a classy ballroom. The country is meanwhile being run by a diabolical cabal of fascist goons absolutely drunk on unfettered power, feeding him arcs de triomphe and dead fishermen if he gets cranky

You've probably seen the photos of the "Arc de Trump," spotted in the Oval Office.

Now read our story behind the models — and how initial plans for a temporary, triumphal arch have given way to Trump's desire to build a permanent monument.
