We've all done it - held a conversation we assumed was private only to discover that someone was listening in. The potential dangers of such a slip are far greater when you are George Bush, you're talking to Tony Blair at a G8 meeting and the subject matter is the current crisis in the Middle East.
You can read on Adam Boulton's blog on the Sky News site the full text of the transcript of what was picked up on the microphones, unbeknown to the two men.
Perhaps the most enlightening sentence is Bush's succinct summary of how the violence between Lebanon and Israel could be resolved:
Bush: You see, the ... thing is what they need to do is to get Syria, to get Hizbollah to stop doing this shit and it's over.
Other less pivotal but nevertheless revealing moments from the transcript include the US president hailing the British prime minister with the words "yo Blair" and calling Bashir Assad, the Syrian president, "Bashad". Blair also said of an unidentified individual "he is honey" - your suggestions please as to who that was.
