Oh wow, I wonder what happened...

my mum just came in and told me - she heard it on the radio apparently :s

I just looked it up on Google News. It's a personal matter, and not a matter of national security.

That scene in Gavin & Stacey when Gavin's parents surprise him by going to Wales is just how everyone interacts now. They all found out about them coming by Facebook, email, text, and Twitter...

US President Barack Obama has abruptly ended a round of golf and sped toward his family's holiday home in Hawaii for what is being described as a "personal matter".

An ambulance was seen speeding toward their compound in Kailua.

White House aides said the speedy departure and return to the President's home was not a matter of national security or because of a threat to Mr Obama's safety.

Mr Obama was playing golf when reporters who travel with him were quickly assembled for a return to the first family's neighbourhood.

Journalists saw an ambulance speed past with its lights on, heading toward the end of Mr Obama's street. The ambulance would have passed through a security checkpoint at the end of the street.

yeesh. i hope everythings ok :S

Maybe he just wanted to ride in an ambulance? Or he really had to use the bathroom and he's afraid to use public ones? Sorry, just trying to make light of the subject.

9/11 is one of those annoying dates. Only a few countries other then America has it MM/DD/YYYY, instead of DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD, yet we've all adopted the term to mean Setember 11th, and not 9th November...

I wonder what would happen if something major happened on 9th November in the UK. Would we call it 9/11, or would we have to say 11/9?
