I was reading the French version, the first and further references to parquet were swallowed by my "lets just ignore that and continue" filter untill I was thinking subliminally that the handyman had whacked him with a length of parquet.

Lord only knows how my brain functions but perhaps in the background it was pondering with something like, hit by a blunt object, the parquet to be precise?

Later on when the parquet described that the alleged attacker had been working for several weeks for the victim my subliminal brain reported back to my conscious one "that cant be right can it?" 

I am heartened that google translate has the same problems, I will have to look up parquet later, perhaps a porte parole or insider?

[quote user="Cendrillon"]This story has gone very quiet. I read in Sud-Ouest that the French police are waiting for information from the British police who have picked-up and are questioning the suspect. Has anyone any more news?

I don't know if this was the article you read Cendrillon, but it looks as if  the accused has 7 days in which to appeal extradition to France (the article was published on the 7th, so say the 14th).  If he doesn't appeal then he would be extradited within the following 10 days.

"Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars."

WB - may I digress for a little while?

Moonraker - about your strapline - the stars are nowhere near the moon.  Surely, it should be "if you shoot for the stars and you miss, you could land on the moon"?
