    The Norwegian Prime Minister paid a "flying visit" to the exercise.

    I've always thought that prime ministers never really look like leaders unless they're physically fit. Good ol' Jens there looks like he'd be at home in the ranks, as opposed to our fella who wouldn't look out of place on a kidney transplant waiting list.

    To right, a healthy looking leader just seems to get that bit more respect as soon as I see them. Take Obama and Sarkozy for example, both look young and fit in comparison to most politicians, yet the likes of Cowen and Mirkel look set for weight loss clinic.
