And that's a truly spectacular example of topic drift

""In your country, in my country, all the politicians would be in prison because they sell their votes," Chretien said."

"Picked up by an open microphone at the Group of Eight summit in Genoa, Italy, Chretien told Bush: "One pipeline ... we could save a lot of money.""

"Unaware that his microphone was on, Bush turned to Dick Cheney and said "There’s Adam Clymer of the New York Times, a major-league a**hole."" http://www.thevarsity.ca/news/2002/01/25/OpinionAnalysis/George.Not.The.Only.Moron-332960.shtml

"HONEST POLITICIAN OF THE YEAR AWARD: To Spanish Premier Jose Maria Aznar, who -- unaware his microphone was still on after he delivered a speech at an EU summit -- remarked: "What a load of old crap that was."" http://www.sptimes.com/2002/12/29/Columns/The_news_of_the_world.shtml

My mother told me once that George VI (or perhaps it was Edward) was about to make a speech on the radio. He tapped the microphone and said "Is this F^$%ing thing on?" Apparently, it was, and the entire country heard his question.

I find that hard to believe Mudhooks - it's well known that Royalty neither swear or go to the toilet

Except for Princess Anne and her dad, who both swear like

My step-father told us that when the Queen was visiting Canada, way back when, his former wife, who could read lips, swore that when Prince Philip who arrived several days after she the Queen, greeted her with "How's my little pi$$pot?" to which she swore the Queen replied, "Why don't you try me and find out?"

I am highly sceptical, but it is funny to think that they would ever talk to each other that way.
