Give the poor guy a break!
He just got back from a three week all expense paid vacation in Hawaii with the missus and the kids. He hasnt even had a chance to unpack his golf clubs yet. He needs a few weeks downtime with his feet up on his desk to rest up from his vacation.
Besides, who wants to go to France in January? He will probably fit in a trip this spring or summer when the weather is better for golf.
I bet if Barry knew the Danish Prime Minister babe was going to be there, he would have made an attempt.
