Once upon a time this contained some passable canapés and a selection of drinks. Nowadays there may be a couple of bottles of Uzbekistan's finest Riesling and a plate of Monster Munch."

Irish ears
One of the more underrated qualities of life in Paris is FM radio. How many cities come close to the wealth and richness of stations available here? The French may have invented cinema and dream about being on TV, but they are at home on the radio.
