PARIS .- Darwin firefighters are the toast of the fashion conscious French capital after giving the kiss of life to a runaway handbag . No sassy French woman would be seen dead without a handbag. The fact that brave Darwin firefighters tore up the CBD for a damsel whose clutch fell into the musty catacombs beneath the city is front page news in Le Monde and Le Figaro .
Paris even has a handbag museum , Le Musee des Sacs, and the firefighters who rescued the traumatised clutch will be entered in its Hall of Fame. The museum’s swinging PR officer , Fifi Le Bon Bon , praised the key part in the handbag rescue played by “Messieur Salty”, a firefighter she described as a true hero and a skilled artist . She said he deserved the Croix de Guerre and a Charles de Gaulle sloppy kiss on both cheeks. Fifi revealed every firefighter in Darwin will be presented with an expensive Louis Vuitton handbag as a reward.

Paris firefighters, who mostly rescue French Poodles from drains, have also invited their Darwin brothers to a study tour of France. During that learning slurp, the tough Froggies will teach mild - mannered Territory firemen how to throw bricks at gendarmes during strikes and the art of hosing down politicians in demonstrations.
French firefighters find it unbelievable that there has not been a revolution in Australia over the Rudd Government plan to extend the retirement age to 67. In France , the retirement age is 55 and the mere suggestion of tampering with this results in massive civil unrest equivalent to Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture.
