Ah, french mag fashions sentence, now I get it, and I thought you meant the ConDem(s)Nation that we are presently all in it together with here in the UK.
Yes, Bogota, but still don't see how such an international incident that nearly caused world war three and the extermination of all intelligent life on earth can be boiled down to just a four-letter word, unless of course Bobbies Moore and Charlton shouted F**K when they were caught tea-leafing ladies bling to go with their cross-dressing outfits at the England football winners party later that evening...

9 DOWN and 27 ACROSS

"Bon vivant James, your compositions are well-known overseas"

Empty Vessel...summat...?

OK - well played Ivan!

I thought the clue was good but the song title too long and distinctive...

First reference to James last on this forum, I believe :-D

Now then, this clue of yours. I'm heading towards the Rats?

Got the James Last and Bond famous worldwide thing but after that totally stumped, and not being a Smiths fan I was lost, couldn't fit anything to that 13 letter word!

Got it,

'Harry Screws Peru'

I think its a song by One Direction, inspired by Willam's ginger brother whose naked poolside girl posse antics are fueled by his penchant for illegal substances provided by corrupt military governments.

Arf ! I'm liking the cut of your jib , Cores . Great reply but unfortunately I can't give it to you on this occasion . If I might go all "Alanis Morrisette " on you "It's ironic " that you of all people on here should mention Peru . Urban myth has it South of the Border that there was a mass culling of pigeons in Glasgow , Edinburgh and Aberdeen given the fact that the aforementioned disease carrying avians kept expressing their support for Hector Cubillas and his team ! It's connected to the abovementioned abortive journey if my fading memory serves me right .

Thank you Sir Not Geldof and his boys on this occasion I'm afraid
Here is a picture clue to help you all along
