Obama selfie at funeral -When your spouse/bf/gf behaves badly at an event? What to do

[Xavier]

This photo of Obama taking a "selfie" with the British and Danish Prime Ministers had me thinking. Mrs Obama seems to want nothing to do with there "act" and could even be thinking..Mi Shame. Many of you have been in this situation. What do you do when that significant other behave in a way that make you feel "shame"....

there's a time and a place for everything. they did have an after party, no? three world so called leaders couldn't wait or better yet get their pics taken with a cadre of photogs?


in other news the interpreter for the deaf was faking it. i know it's not related to the issue raised in the initial post, but there are so many mandela posts i didn't want to mash up the other ones.

I disagree respectfully.... i thought the standard procedure was that people should not be sad they should celebrate the joyfulness of the persons life at funeral.... Mandela was a sucker for a good pun, a self depreciating joke, he literally loved attractive women.. His two first wives both had to kick out women out the marital bed.... His greatest achievement was not to successful lead the peaceful end of apartheid in life but in death was to make Gordon Brown the former UK Prime Minister to tell two humorous stories stories in Parliament that got laughs....

Thousands will post pictures of themselves on face book I suppose from that funeral....So y not Cameron, Obama and Mrs Kinnock... (when i had a face book account i never posted any picture of myself ....)

Below from the BBC Today in Parliament 9 minutes in Tributes and ancedotes from the house of Parliament, as well as the Lords.. Lord Morris a trade unionist the jester is from Manchester, tells the story of a conversation....Lammy was in tears at the death of the man he saw as his surrogate father from the distance.... Peter Hains anger is well directed....

Let me say I dont think he and I would have got on.... I would have argued with him...i thought he had an imperial air of a patriach....

the photographer who took the pictures explained what was going on somewhere else, mi cant badda guh dig it up

basically those pictures just showed some of what took place, and that michelle was actually smiling and laughing as well


if i was a journalist and had to write these stories, speculating on michelle's wrath (real or not), I think I would have quit my job after 1 week

When I first started dating, my older and more experienced aunt said always take your taxi fare. So if I didn't drive it would be "Excuse me, excuse me, as I got up from my seat and then "Taxi, taxi".

If I drove it would be straight to the car and straight home.

Fawlty towers was the best...loved it...I still remember the episode where the hotel owner (nuh memba im name) gave his car a "trashing"...dwl

I think Mandela would be laughing loudly if he was an observer of this memorial. Selfies, hand shakes and YMCA (Village people) type sign language....

[Tropicana]

...and I believe a couple of people did drop asleep too.

So RichD, are you surprised I have never used the mad money or said "excuse me, excuse me" upon exiting followed by "Taxi, taxi"?
