Our lesson this time goes back to a joke made by chat-show host Trevor Noah last summer, following the World cup. The only thing is, some people didn’t find his joke funny at all, not least the French ambassador in Washington. So what was it all about, again? Let’s start, as usual, with a conversation to put things in context.

90: "How do I get to the Post Office?"
89: "What is your opinion of these 'Miss France' competitions?"
88: "Did you see? The towns are all decorated!"
87: "What a fine dog! What breed is he?"
86: Helping look after a friend's child
85: Strikes yet again?!
84: "Am I speaking to the plumber?" [Part II]
83: "Am I speaking to the plumber?" [Part I]
82: "Have you heard about the Jammie Thomas affair?"
81: A walk in the forest
80: "Do you know about the new French number plates?"
79: "Would you like a coffee?"
78: "It's sad that Pavarotti has passed away, don't you think?"
77: "Do you mind if I smoke?"
76: "That guy has a bit of a (personal) problem..."
75: The holidays are over!
74: 'Vélib'... it's fantastic!
73: "What did you do for the environment today?" [Part II]
72: "What did you do for the environment today?" [Part I]
