David Cameron gave Barack Obama a call to chat about the Ukraine crisis.
I've been speaking to @BarackObama about the situation in Ukraine. We are united in condemnation of Russia's actions.
So far, so serious. Then other people soon started dialling in.
Graham Linehan decided to join the call.
At which point others barged in.
@Glinner Just arranged for the council to remove a mattress.
Some struggled to get the hang of it but still did their best.
@Glinner Just trying to complain about the funny smell emanating from my phone... #davecalls
Well, at least pretended to try.
You won't believe the filth Mr. Cameron is spouting on this phone call...
Then it started to go very wrong.
"Hi David where are you calling from?"
Very wrong.
"Ukraine, you say" #davecalls
REALLY wrong.
Yes, Dave, this is Dog
By this point Obama wasn't very impressed.
David who ? #davecalls
But they just kept coming.
@hrtbps
And coming.
Yeah, big deal. The UK Prime Minister can use a phone. Anyone can do that.
Admittedly it sometimes got a bit surreal.
Or just downright disturbing.
@glinner "Get me Osbourne, immediately!" #tweetlikecameron
Some people really went for it.
@SirPatStew @seyitaylor @robdelaney @David_Cameron @BarackObama copy.
The internet's Rob Delaney belatedly arrived.
.@David_Cameron @BarackObama Hi guys, I'm on the line now too. Get me up to speed.
By now it was going global.
@David_Cameron @BarackObama @robdelaney yeah we need to figure this out asap guys
And then, as with all of the best things in this world, Patrick Stewart turned up and held a packet of Wet Ones to his face.
.@robdelaney @David_Cameron @BarackObama I'm now patched in as well. Sorry for the delay.
