Another inside story


Dave did his best not to look silly. He had forgotten to bring his earphones. Meanwhile, the others tried not to giggle while Barack told the story about the corgi and the Moldovan Ambassador.


Dave was a little concerned. He felt sure that sure that Barack was whispering about "British", "oil", "water" and wondered whether he could outsprint Harper and Merkel.




Barack's little joke had worked better than he could have hoped; he had waved goodbye to Frau Merkel, while getting the others to give her the forbidden salute.

You truly are the man behind the news.

You've become a bit heightist Vicus.

Dave's only 5ft 4" and may have been seriously offended by this post.

I, Like The View said...

this is better than G2's series on his emails

As Mme Sarkozy is stepmother to his kids you might have mentioned that he occasionally avails himself of stepladder, but a minor point like this need not detract from your otherwise accurate and convincing account. Thank you in this context for not mentioning the G8 spot.

I hope Barack managed to stop Mr. Sarkozy from mistaking Frau Merkel for Carla, with too much hugging and kissing her, as she complained recently.

Richard said...

G8. There's ten of them in that line-up. I'm sure that means something.

I, Like The View said...

two of them are women and haven't been counted?

Adam said...

Obama needs to make friends with one of the other tall leaders, so that they can play "Keep away" with Sarkozy's beret, or whatever silly French thing he owns.

Dave said...

The German one's a woman, ILTV, but I can't spot a second woman there. You only need one token anyway.

Maybe you could keep Barack and glue Dave to his shoulders. That would solve both our problems.

And I return your gush of sentiment. Would a smiley face here be too trite?
