Footage has emerged of the Queen appearing to express mild irritation at Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for being too noisy.

The incident took place as the Queen posed with world leaders from the G20 summit in the traditional "family" photograph at Buckingham Palace.

Mr Berlusconi then shouted "Mr Obama", prompting Her Majesty to turn around in mock frustration at the noise.

Buckingham Palace have denied that any offence was taken by the Queen.

2. Hey, this is the same guy who made an absurd (and vulgar) remark about Thatcher

thinking it was a compliment. So I guess ol' Silvio is a little lacking in tact, not to mention self-filtering.

3. And about Obama

From the link: And he was also criticised for describing Barack Obama as "young, handsome and tanned". The Italian leader accused his critics of being humourless "imbeciles".

4. In the Italian dialect I spoke as a child, "berlusconi" translates, roughly, to .......

..... "fat fucking loudmouthed pig". That's not a literal translation, but its close.

5. The only one worse is Harper.

But just barely. It's very close.

7. Berlusconi is a total cock, but then again why do I care about the feelings of a monarch?

Tough call who I give less of a shit about in this case.

just a right wing tool.
