Happy Valentine's day

An account of the positively cringeworthy first encounter between Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni, followed by imaginary first encounters of power couples, courtesy of Guardian's Tim Dowling:

At some point in the conversation, Sarkozy raised a few potential difficulties, including the effect of the paparazzi on their relationship. "When it comes to the celebrity press, you are an amateur," said Bruni. "My encounter with Mick [Jagger] stayed secret for eight years. We passed through all the capitals of the world and no photographer ever caught us."

"How could you have stayed eight years with a man who has such ridiculous calves?" said Sarkozy. Who thinks the most ridiculous thing about Mick Jagger is his calves?
