Do you think Obama disrespected one of Americas staunchest allies when Gordon Brown visited Washington and Obama made it a low key visit, and not a proper state reception, which the Prime Minister of England deserved even though hes a bit of a wet blanket. Also Obama returned the statue of Winston Churchill to Britain, which was given as a gift. Even if you don't like the gift, why return it? That's just rude. And Russia is continuing to prod at Obama with the latest matter of the missile shield in Poland and Iran. Clinton gave Russia a Reset button to me it looked like an Illuminate catalyst's clandestine message of Yo Ruskis Lets Nuke Iran and split the Oil profits.

The prick got the job by default it happens at work all the time, I personally don't care what race creed or religion the man in the driving seat is as long as hes got the keys.

I think the low key visit, as you put it, was sort of like they were 'chums' and Gordy can visit anytime he wants to. Obama's style appears to be more casual than most politicians, part of the 'I'm just an ordinary man like you' charm, I guess.


And did he actually return the bust to Britain or just give it back to Bush? It was a gift to Bush and perhaps he wanted it back in Texas where he can sit with a big book of famous people and properly identify the figure that's baffled him for the last 8 years.


We'll have to wait and see with Russia, but the fact that the US is even talking to Iran, discussing nuclear nonproliferation with Russia, sending $900m to help rebuild Gaza and closing Gitmo, can't be a bad start to his presidency.


I remain hopeful.

what really made me chuckle were the gifts exchanged, the browns buying dresses, necklaces and a collection of books for the obama girls and receiving two plastic helicopters available from the white house gift shop; and then gordon giving barack a first edition series of books and a pen holder made from the wood of a historic ship (which was a sister ship to the ship from which the oval office desk was made) and recieved a dvd set


i don't think that it's important for world leaders to give each other good presents so unlike the telegraph readers i'm not outraged by this, but it does amuse me

His chin is slightly too "up" & his nostrils say 'I know.....but you don't think I'm really listening do you"


...and he fiddles with his shirt cuffs a little to often ( for my liking )




Insightful ehh ( I'm on to something here )...........


Oh and posting Churchill back, nothing wrong with that other than "the fat guy statue..yeah jus send him back"

Is he's confusing U.Kplc with Harrods...?


Really lastly....what about the statues carbon footprint now...... I mean..


W**F

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
