First we brought you this encounter with Her Majesty The Queen, now, he's kept waiting the German leader, who, as you know, has Nils Blythe in the boot of her Mercedes.

That is APPALLING! The man has no manners at all. Think Angela Merkel behaved beautifully, not disclosing a hint of irritation.
BTW: Eddie - you might want to check the wording on that link. Waiting, waiting...

DiY: don't know about compass. I can think of some other words that might best describe him.

Thanks Eddie!
The Silvio Update: He should have "turned off" his cell phone when and during the time of meeting...

You can always trust Silvio to make even the dullest of conferences interesting! Talking to my Italian friends in Milan, some people there honestly think that SB is the best public face for their country. Amazing :-)

Hes saying,
"ah Shaddap a yore fa-ice" to the Turkish Prime Minister.
Dennis (12) how sweet.
Perhaps we should make all of them hand them in next time at reception and not let them have them back till home time. Not even let them have access at play-time either.

Don't forget to add in Obama in Prague droning on about North Korea and PM being silly when he and it should be telling us about the new FSB.
Its only power (other than those of suasion and oversight) seems to be a right to impose constraints on lending during speculative bubbles.
How?
What if a hedge fund sets up multiple and layered separate companies in the usual dishonest way such things are done to borrow to speculate?
So, has the G20 agreement GENUINELY curbed hedge funds?
Crikey, that's something PM listeners have a right to know, Edgie.
Could the pound still be crashed to the floor by speculation before ever import substitute and export industries are up and running to take up the slack?
That's about the 'pound in your pocket' in a year's time. I honestly think PM violates listener 'need to know' rights.
If you must report at the level of poisonality (a whopping 17 threads for Shatner) can you answer this. Was the G20 a triumph for Sarkozy and Merkel?
Isn't their pressing for regulation a very good thing that PM has under-reported?
To what extent have they succeeded? (That's the same question, but with poisonalities. Hope you find it more palatable like that).
If the mass political culture in France and Germany is such that their PMs can concentrate on such matters, why can't ours? Either of them?
The tone of radio PM doesn't seem to be that the banks should be regulated until the bonds cut into the flesh. What more damage do bankers have to do to the world economy before PM recognises that Merkel and Sarkozy got it right?
Were they given enough by America and the UK (New York and London)?
Surely, again, PM should stop yawning and assess what's happened.

Silvio Berlusconi? I sigh.
On Start The Week this morning - I didn't catch the authors name but she has written a tome on the doings of celebrities and how seriously we are asked to take them. In the oddest and most serious of arenas.
Eddie Mair please note. lol
But seriously - it reaches its apex - (or is it zenith?) in my view when they - celebrities achieve powerful positions in politics.
Who can "Steelie" mean I hear you ask? Prago!
And in the same ballpark area - a headline just read - a request from a widower - "Leave her in peace" and just underneath those words "12 page pullout". I hope they weren't connected to the same story but..............
It is beyond irony isn't it Signor Belusconi?

(16) Refer previous directive from the Lord Mair:
"If on the other hand you want to bore everyone silly with endless droning about your economic theories, please bother Robert Peston."
