Gordon Brown "gets lost" at the Royal Banquet, and apparently has to suffer the Queen and Princess Anne chortling at him when he turns up late once the gong is sounded.
Now I don't know about you, but I've been to posh dos before where the "unspoken" etiquette rules both intimidated me and pissed me off. It's frankly rude of a host to assume that you know you're "meant" to "be in line" at the moment when guests line up to walk in to take their places, or that it would be frowned upon if you nip out to have a piss on the patio.
I can't believe Number Ten is taking this in such good humour. If The Queen's this much of a cow, I think Gordon should be asking M. Sarkoszy if he's still got any decent blueprints for a guillotine knocking about.
