Who cares?

It seems it's not just Mr B who is going round the world stirring up apathy. A friend reports on this sight at Dublin airport: 

I spotted Sarko's Republique Francaise aircraft parked on the ground below Pier D, replete with red carpet. I must have just missed his grand departure a little after 5pm but there wasn't a sight nor sound of any stewards, let alone dignitaries to send him off.

All I could make out was two Dublin airport workers sitting in the van beside the aircraft - one was munching on a bacon sarnie, the second seemed to be enjoying 40 winks. Guess it summed up his trip in a nutshell really!
