Tsk! That just ain't right. There's loads I'd like to share with y'all if you had iPlayer. There's great arts and music stuff on BBC4

It's been odd watching your President 'reclaim' his apostrophe in Ireland and visiting QE2. The Obamas look so 'Hollywood' even next to Her Maj in her finery.

I wonder why a pretty pointless state visit happened now. I wonder who's footing the bill for the extra security? Just thinking out loud.

The host country does the inviting, and they are scheduled way in advance. i am sure the British government is picking up the tab. Just googled. You are, and the estimate for security alone is 30 million pounds. A special allocation had to be made for it.

Thanks for googling that one Martina. Jeepers! With more children living in poverty than ever, a failing education system, an increasingly privatized health service and we spend 30m. on security. Way to go UK!! I suppose the British tax payer is used to picking up the bill for something they never asked for. I'm thinking back to that wedding recently.

I am not having a pop at the Obamas in any way. They were invited.

Does the 'Special Relationship' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Relationship get mentioned in the American media?
