They are complaining about car noise and rubbish bins.

I would have expected them to have double glazing and a servant to deal with rubbish disposal.
Washington climate needs double glazing in the winter.

Many seemed fed up with no parking places for dinner guests, SUVs left running, I would be upset as well.

She presumed to sit down with no invitation as well. I think as she was representing the POTUS she could negotiate.

There is no equivalent of a Prime Minister, leaders of the political parties do not have much clout at international events. Sec of State must be considered as = to a PM.

They really should move to somewhere with no neighbours.

I have no idea what the singing nonsense is about.

I was busy trying to recall what Hillary C did in that job, Albright was involved in a lot of negotiations. I missed his singing, the actor may be trying for a career change?

Myanmar does have a minister of foreign affairs I would have expected her to be chatting with him but it's an American show and the viewers would expect her to talk to no less than a president.

Most US viewers would have no idea where Myanmar is anyway. I am not sure the Min of Foreign Affairs would be important enough to chat with Madam Secretary.

I just looked at a few news stories John Kerry travels and meets with his equivalent foreign minister in other countries such as recently Iran, Egypt and Russia he doesn't pop in for a chat with the president or crowned head of state.

However Elizabeth is different

Of course she is, personally responsible for the downfall of the Russian President Orlov, best not to upset her.

Yes to MC, fresh tea needed, start at 6?

Lennard has taken charge with Priya as his deputy, Blanche can make pastry.

The reds have Jasbir so are up against it.

Audra thinks that she knows everything yet she only finished third on MC:Aus.

George Calombaris has rubbed off on her.

The red team have wasted a lot of beef by stewing it too soon, Jasbir did not warn them in time.

Lennard is a liability in a team, he does not seem to listen to women. Rico always seems out of his depth.

He will run out of what he has made quickly.

The judges won't blame him though.

Blanche as Captain will be blamed for not leading well.

Judges seem to like the Blue team's food most.

Almost as bad as Gregg Wallace.

When she entered MC four years ago she was listed as a 41 year old account manager. She got a lot from her third place.

Gregg would wish.

Alice sent home, it should have been Jasbir or even Vonny.

That may have been her day job but they ignored her food business. She got a tv show, the winner is doing a joke Internet show.

Yes it should have been Jasbir but she is a spice girl, David Beckham missed out choosing Victoria.

The Andy and Ben show. They must be spiting chips when they see Audra.

At least there is no snow here this morning.

I can make it to the train station without breaking an arm.
