Holiday horreurs

Quel horreur for holidaymakers with this chaos at le Heathrow check-in and the four-hour passport delays at EU airports. We would recommend un staycation with a sixpack or trois - but a glance at the skies above suggests frying pan and fire.

Baking battle

Zut alors! A TV culinary battle has begun after Mary Berry signed up for Best British Cook, a new BBC show which sounds un petit peu like le Great British Bake Off. How it ends, who can say? But doights crossed no one gets egged.

Big benefits

Bonne chance to all in the Celebrity Big Brother maison, but especially to Sean Williamson (Barry from EastEnders). Sean confesses he is taking part only to save his career. Extraordinaire! We imagined it was for the benefit of his artistic soul.

Net gains

My, my, mes amies, how we envy the comings and goings in the Premier League transfer market. On this side of La Manche, alas, things are more mundane... well, except for le world record £200m signing of Neymar by Paris St Germain. Oui, le price is high, but here en France we know quality when we see it. And when we taste it too. Santé!

For more than 350 years Kronenbourg 1664 has been crafting the taste suprême. For more information go to k1664.co.uk
