Sarko caught short in Irish VIP footie box shocker
Diplomatic relations between Ireland and France have crumbled ahead of the two nation's World Cup qualifying playoff, according to alleged letters between the two nations allegedly leaked to an alleged Irish soccer blog.

Ha ha ha!
I hope this is true; I've never actually laughed out loud at a Reg story before!
Fake
It's funny, but it's fake... the address is "Rue des Blaguer" which translates as "Joke Street" (no it's not a real street). Also I doubt there's really a French embassy in Paris, seems redundant...
Fake
Looks fake... "Rue des Blaguer" translates as "Joke Street". Also not sure why there'd be a French consulate in Paris, seems redundant...
Massively huge box
joke most probably but still,
Sarko needs one tiny box for his body & soul and a massive one adjacent to it for his massively over inflated ego.
royalist header, completely faked address
The en-tête displays a lys flower which was used by French kings, hardly a republican symbol.
The address of the "Consulat général de France" is an obvious fake.
2-24 rue des blaguers 74139 Paris france
No rue des blagers in Paris, the zipcode 74139 denotes a place not in Paris but in Haute-Savoie, an unlikely place for a consulat général. Finally the correct spelling is "blagueur", meaning someone who pulls practical jokes.

Irish contraception
Reminds me of the Irish lady who had a short husband and no kids;
In confession the priest asked if she used contraception;
'oh no father, I make him stand on a box and just when he goes red in the face I kick the box away.'
Too funny
Thanks so much for publishing this. Fabulous. C'mon the Irish.

'tis a good job ....
... that the French President is given all the respect he deserves.
Very Clever
The article reminds me why I read El Reg every day...for the spirit and ingenuity. Bootnote to other readers "If these clever people got real jobs then we might be out of ours". Pity the author of the article must now mange le corbeau.
Fake but funny
Naturally funny - doubly so considering that French actually won the game.
aw... :(
Regretfully, I was not surprised with the outcome of the match... Ah well, better luck next time lads...
