Maybe life does imitate art and John Key’s nickname is ‘Chance’ and he likes to do a little gardening.

Looks like Key will clash with the cocktails, or maybe the soup if the Archduke of Andorra won’t shut up.

It was ever so…
In Australia, the biggest impact of Qadaffi’s speech was that everyone buggered off, and left the room half empty when KRUDD spoke. But only news show mentioned THAT. Everyone else showed him getting photo ops with Obama, or close ups of KRUDD speeaking or people applauding. And no mention of JK, not even the hot water issue
