    Obama just flew over my house

    Two huge helicopters flew over my house in North London. Much noisier than usual.
    Guess Obama is here.

    Probably just Jaqui Smith nipping out for a take-away on expenses before she settles down to watch Uk 40+ Red Hot Amateurs

      No - this was just a decoy convoy, for security reasons Obama went by the Tube.

        Yeah, why risk walking to blockbusters in a stabproof vest when you can take the chopper.

          I don't think it will be her husband piloting the chopper though ...

              He's busy at home, piloting his own.

                You should have shot them down. Would have made a great section 58 protest.

                  From telegraph blog:

                  20.10 The helicopter takes off, heading west from Essex to the capital followed by several identical decoy helicopters. Obama has spent less than 20 minutes on British soil so far.

                  20.06 Marine One's rotors are whirring, ready to take the Obamas to Winfield House, the official residence of the US ambassador which is set in 12 acres of grounds in Regent's Park. Darling and his wife retreat.

                  20.03 It's all smiles as Alistair Darling shakes hands with Obama, and their wives Maggie and Michelle exchange greetings. But it's a brief hello and the pair are already heading towards Obama's helicopter. Michelle in a yellow dress and black coat.


                  What's up anyway - is revolution in the air?
                  Bored.
