    I seem to recall that Clinton had a close relationship with Nixon, and used to call him quite frequently for advise when he was the president.

    So…?

    I would imagine that a leader and former leader of any peaceful country would have a fair bit to chat about. There can’t be a lot of people that know what it’s like to be PM and have appropriate security clearance to have a decent chat with.

    “spoken to him by phone at least seven times since he took power”

    Hardly sitting on his shoulder whispering in his ear is it?

    I’d imagine that the role of a PM is pretty unique job-wise, so there are a limited number of people one could turn to to get the benefit of experience.

    by phone

    says nothing about clandestine meetings, texts, Skype, emails and scented love letters….

    Be great to listen to tapes of those phone calls though.

    “Bloody hell Tony, you might have warned me about Berlusconi’s breath.”

    or perhaps

    “Hey Tony, did you ever find the manual for this boiler? Oh and we’ve got some more mail for you. And a couple for Gordon too.”

    The point is just because I have spoken to Graham it does not mean he influences what I think ergot democracy has not stopped because blair and cameron have spoken at least 7 times by ohone.

    That derby newspaper site [ iirc ] with that wierd angry bloke about cycling etc. We did dnot speak so much as argue with the same person

    Very clever Graham but I aint explaining why 😉

    Maybe I should have put:

    Weak, I know, but it was the best I could come up with in the alloted time 🙂

    Y’know I wasn’t sure.

    In the end I decided it was too weak to be a joke.
    Should have remembered where I was:
