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.

Mike - is that the Scottish "Prime Minister of England" - how strange.

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.


Best,

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..

    • Hello - If anybody has any hifi valve amplifiers, working or in need of restoration, I'm keen to buy such things from you! I particularly like amps from the 50s and 60s, the sort of thing you used to find in old sideboards, but ultimately anything with glass tubes sticking out of them is of interest to me. I am also in the market for good quality hifi items in general, particularly faulty items in need of fixing and restoration. This includes turntables, amplifiers, cd players, speakers, graphic EQs, cassette players, reel to reel players, etc. etc. Ultimately, all electronic musical objects are of intrigue to me. Many thanks, and hope to hear from you soon, -Scott 07956 853 538  
    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
