I found this amusing too, it's on the BBC live feed

Lewis R Lowden, MI, USA says: The G20 has a public face but is run from behind a closed door, smoked filled room, where-in the welfare of the general public does not have a seat. It's like asking the fox & ferret to make the rules protecting the chicken coop.

Good point Lewis about the smoke-filled room, because foreign dignitaries at the G20 will be exempt from the UK smoking ban. Does this leave you fuming, reader?

Apparetntly some of this mornings meeting between Brown and Obama was spent discussing dinosaurs :D

John Mcain?

Love the hand movements of the guy trying to help. I know what he's doing but the enthusiasm he's showing is strangely funny :D

That bit about smoking does get me fuming a bit actually matblack. Why the **** should they be exempt from the law?

I'm gonna walk into a pub, spark up, then when asked to put it out scream 'I have zee diplomatic immunity!1'

I think being world finance leaders you're entitled to a few perks. ;)

I've always been of a mind that the law is the law and should be followed by everyone, especially those that are meant to set an example for others.

I think it's of better interest to get the meeting done smoothly and comfortably for those attending, rather than upsetting them just to prove a point. The Beast and its escort of CIA and MI5 cars will have probably gone through some red lights too, but hell, it's Obama if he can't jump a few red lights when he's President of the US and the free world, what can he do? :p

It's call Diplomatic immunity :)

Oh i know what it is, just don't agree with it. I can understand peoples' arguments for it, i just disagree as i'm a massive idealist, often too much of an idealist for my own good.

The turn seemed fairly textbook to me. It's a long car in a comparitively narrow street. Maybe Austin Powers has spoiled my expectations.

Bit of a non-story IMHO as there are other places where smoking indoors has been allowed since the ban came in.

You bugger, I was just about to post that! Awesome scene. I remember not being able to breathe for a good while afterwards....

[Kreeeee]

I love the monkey they have doing completely pointless hand gestures :p

[Feek]

I didn't get a chance to see it yesterday but just watched the video and the turn looked fine to me. The guy gesticulating was just using standard gestures, no problems.

I think the driver did a good job, I'd have taken out the railings, the front door, half of no 11 and possibly a couple of passers by.

Ruddy crap drivers, I almost got taken out standing 2 foot away from the edge of the curb...mother******s!! :mad:
