Did anyone catch that video clip on Sky News when President Bush's watch was robbed off his wrist?.

I wonder will Albania get a present of a nuke tonight, lol.

It's probably one of those kiddy 'learn the time' watches anyway

Has it turned up on ebay yet?

arybvtcw0eolkf · 13-06-2007 01:32AM

Great, thanks for the clip.

I just wanna rub some Yank's nose's in it for awhile

Hold on...why are they so excited to see him, and are cheering him?

I read that he's hugely popular over there. Apparently the Albanians are keen on joining Nato so they're hoping to impress him on his trip. Wonder how the missing watch will impact on that.

Sad Professor · 13-06-2007 02:17AM

Wow, the Albanians really love him alright. I doubt he'd get that kind of reception in parts of his own country anymore.

As for the watch, in that video it looks like he didn't even notice. It was a leather strap so it probably snapped off fairly easy. When I saw "robbed" I was expecting to see someone run up grap the watch off his wrist and run off again... only to be filled full of bullets.

"I can't prove it's an Authentic Dubya timepiece, (It has a Mickey Mouse face, as opposed to the Presidential Seal) but it's certainly a nice watch."

GhostInTheRuins · 13-06-2007 08:59AM

Haha thats brilliant. I heard on some radio news bulletin that George bush denies that his watch was stolen in Albania. Whats this then eh?

Zillah · 13-06-2007 09:31AM

Haha, brilliant. Although I also expected to see a clip of some lunatic rush Bush, rip the watch off his wrist and run off

What actually happens?
Can't use youtube in work.

Zillah · 13-06-2007 09:44AM

He greets this crowd that are blocked by a fence, shaking hands and smiling, making his way down while they grope at him likes he's the new Dalai Lama or something. His watch gets pulled off while his arms are absorbed by the crowd.

Tar.Aldarion · 13-06-2007 09:46AM

Sounds like Ocean's 14.

Slow Motion · 13-06-2007 09:57AM

Excellent ! I'd say his head of security is for the high jump

gazzer · 13-06-2007 10:35AM

That wouldnt have happened to Norman Wisdom... Apparantly he is HUGE over there.

loyatemu · 13-06-2007 10:41AM

apparently bush actually took off the watch and put it in his pocket

alternative footage here seems to confirm this:

Because they had a sekkrit plan to steal his watch. The are actually mocking him.

Duggy747 · 13-06-2007 10:59AM

Heh, when I saw this thread I expected something like a lunatic running up to him, ripping it off and legging it

scojones · 13-06-2007 11:02AM

This is a good thing for watch lovers everywhere, as that clown hasn't a clue how to tell the time.

griffdaddy · 13-06-2007 12:55PM

if someone could take his watch, or at least get that close to him, i wonder could they have taken a pop at him with a handgun or something?
