someday these guys will get round to releasing a live DVD, and it will be awesome.

Wanna be a top-brass politician in France? Earn your stipes as an Au Pair in Dublin first!

If she'd actually won the super-close 2007 Presidential Election run-off with Nicolas Sarkozy, this would probably be well-known or at least not an irrelevant piece of trivia... The Indy did some insightful exploring into Ségolene Royal's time spent in Ireland as an Au Pair during her teens! She didnt mention it in her autobiography surprisingly but the gist of the article is if she got the chance to mind France as well as she minded Irish kids, there might be less strikes there today (I wont say no strikes, in France that would be impossible!).

While I'm at it - heres the link to what is now widely established as one of the great political campaign debates of the TV age, Sarkozy and Royal's duel before the 2007 Election.. Pity there isn't a big Irish vote in France, we could claim another Superpower head-of-state as one of our own!
