You should take out 'left wing' and replace 'political' with 'salespitch' and you'd have a description of all UK red-top papers.

genius doesn't have an 'o'.

Aside from my bad spelling, it's not even what I meant to say: I meant to say 'Rocket Scientist'. Senility is setting in.

I think it's even more basic than that: sales is what's involved here. They're just out to make money. (Bloody capitalists, ).

Well it's actually the British Government's fault - I'm sure the visit team would have been more careful if they had been warned about the sensivity of the grounds and environs.

This might explain though why the Queen looked so unhappy during the visit. She was noticeably out of sorts - I thought she was ill.

The Queen's own flock of flamingoes, which security staff insisted should be moved in case they flew into the helicopter rotors, are thought to be so traumatised after being taken to a "place of safety" that they might never return home.

So they were traumatised at being moved?
I wonder how 'traumatised' they would've been if they'd flown into a rotor or two?

Since I can't find it anywhere else, I'll have to say BS too. Although it wouldn't have shocked me if it was true.

When I first read the title of the thread, I understood it too literally.

There were rumors that Bush and the Queen are relatives. They have a common grand^13mother.

Fun, but never accept anything that that you read in a British newspaper. There is little distinction between editorials and truth. Stories are aimed at and written with a view as to what the target audience wants to read.

So are US papers.

It's a shame they moved the birds. I imagine the sight of a few flamingoes flying into the moving rotor blades of a Black Hawk would be strangely beautiful- like an organic firework display.

[Alexander's Horse]

They probably taste good too.

Now that' just not nice.

yeah! i mean, the orcs at least had the decency to look like monsters and not come in disguise...

Well, I also found it in the metro, a free dutch daily paper (www.clubmetro.nl first page of the 24th of nov) but their source was probably the Mirror. I thiink theres much BS to it too because I know what the Mirror is like, but they can't have people being quoted is there isn't a shred of truth, and the Queen did look out of sorts.

My pro/con monarchist views aside, what a place to land a chopper! And gunships?! yeah, those are needed. How about a private plane to Heathrow and an armoured limo? Bush senior would never have been so crass. (assuming he didn't puke ofcourse.)

More to the point, why did he go to Britain anyway? No cool recepsion, the chances of doing any real buisness were nil and his speeches don't count a damn to the public no matter how well they are written. Waste of good old US taxes! Get back in the whitehouse and do some work!

orbetter yet, don't. everytime he "fixes" the economy it gets worse.
