The photos of the Queen and the Obamas were hilarious weren't they, I'm not sure if she's shrunk or the Obamas are both giants, but I'm surprised they didn't stand HM on a box. Or just do what Sarkozy did in his official photos, and stand on tiptoes in order not to look too short.

On the subject of the Obamas visit, how much coaching do you think the Buckingham Palace officials had to give Prince Philip on what and what not to say to them? With his world renowned cultural awareness and diversity skills, I bet they were absolutely CRAPPING themselves that he'd say something inappropriate to the first black leader of the USA :lolol:

Bless her Madge:

He did say something inappropriate, but the newspapers / tv news didn't run with it.

The Queen to the President: "What have you been up to so far today"

The President: *lists loads of meetings including trips to Chinese and Mexican embassies*

Duke of Edinburgh: "I'm surprised you could tell them apart"

I'm sure I didn't dream that... I'll go search for footage...

Maybe, but that could be taken out of context, and in any case, would be relatively mild by his standards.

I was half expecting him, in the style of one of those embarrassing senile old grandads who sits in the corner of the room reminiscing about the war, to come up with some comment about fuzzy-wuzzies, to be honest :lolol:

I was almost right... not quite as serious as I first thought.

Obama was talking about his meetings with the Chinese, Russians and David Cameroon "...and I'm proud to say I did not nod off in one of them"

Pince Phillip: "can you tell the difference between them"

Ah yes, the Royal visit to Whitehawk, I believe, incongruous though it may sound :thumbsup:

I really hope not, but Sir Alfred Patrick Caldwell-Moore, CBE, HonFRS, FRAS is 86 and a tad overweight.
