It should've been me, shouted the groom's brother/May 27th 2011.

Richie - It's been 'Obama and Michelle Week' at our local in tribute to the US President's visit to this humble isle! Stars and stripes bunting hung from the rafters and local schoolkids sang patriotic American hymns in the beer garden before the village duck pond was touchingly re-christened "Freedom Lake". We regulars donned fancy American dress and watched the proceedings in the snug! Dr Singh looked swell as John Wayne while octogenarian Arthur Groat wore a over-tight Superman outfit and had to be taken to A & E. Marcia Braithwaite came as Marge Simpson and Mrs Bob did her best sozzled Sue Ellen impersonation, although many people mistook her for fruitcake-in-chief Sarah Palin. There was much merriment when plonker Shameron tried playing table-tennis with Obama and boos rang out when dopey Ken Clarke was filmed fast asleep. But there were tears of joy as Michelle gave her inspirational speech at Oxford. In fact, Rich, was so overcome that the zip broke on my Marilyn Monroe cossie and my falsies bounced onto the floor!
