What did Ca Plane Pour Moi, a punk hit in my youth, mean? – G.

Frenchman Plastic Bertrand (real name Roger Jouret) reached No. 8 in 1978 with the song, which translates roughly as “Everything Is Going Well For Me.”

However, a few years ago, a court ruled that Plastic did not actually sing on the track.

He is currently on tour with European acts who found fame in the ’70s and ’80s, including Patrick Hernandez, who had a hit with Born To Be Alive.

I watched Blue Planet 2 in amazement this week when an octopus covered itself in shells to hide from a shark. Do they live in our seas? – D.

With a body around 25cm in diameter, its tentacles can be 100cm in length.

He only made nine appearances before moving to Canada with Toronto Blizzard.
