Better late than never, Vladimir

Protocol requires this, so let me offer you congratulations on your birthday.  I know it must have been rather dull this year, with no murdered journalists wrapped up in ribbon all for you, but I hope there were other compensations

Protocol also requires that I can't ignore this. *long-suffering sigh* No, no journalists heads on platters this year - my present will be meeting my prey in person before setting them free in the Novo Ogarevo forest to hunt for sport. *forces a grin* No, really, I'm just kidding.

Careful what you wish for - things could go terribly wrong for you and the only reason you'd be reminding Francois would be that you were serving a very forgetful Socialist president...
