By rights I should hate Boris Johnson. He's everything I despise about our society. Privileged by accident of birth, Eton educated, rich from family wealth rather than person effort, Tory, totally unable to imagine life as an ordinary person....the list is endless. But then Boris opens his mouth and the most bizarre words come out. He makes me laugh and how can I not like a man who makes me laugh? How can you not laugh when a politician (people who normally watch every word they say) comes out with,
'As I write these words there are semi-naked women playing beach volleyball in the middle of the Horse Guards Parade immortalised by Canaletto. They are glistening like wet otters and the water is plashing off the brims of the spectators' sou'westers. The whole thing is magnificent and bonkers.'
See it"s not only me , the finest brains on G.n. B- up i rest my case , however, I did suggest you take a lie down in a darkened room , do u heed my advice , NO , . Take this on board though , they are watching , but when it is all over will we be able to get a word in edgeways !!! {flag ] No need to try to grab all the flags , there are plenty for all of us
Oh crikey , I didn"t mean them as in aliens , More G"Ns who are wrapped up in olypimics can"t be bothered to post {flag } see decoram in everthing, just ONE flag
It's perfect on any thread jing. One of these days I must get you to explain how you do those blue things! Can you do them on an iPad? Don't confuse my tiny brain this week though. The tribunals have been some if the most difficult I've ever done! Plus the stress of being reappraised! I'm brain dead!
Yes well. Thank you mamie - maybe that low self control is just an act. But act or not, comedian would be a better career choice Johnson, really. Very scary prospect of him becoming PM. I can imagine that when the knives come out for DC, which they will, people will see BJ as "electable". Really hoping that he will make a giant mega gaffe this week. It will be very unfair if he emerges from the fantastic Olympics, covered in glory.
A good dissection of a ruthless politician who creates an image of a bumbling fool! However, as he is Mayor of London, he won't be available to stand for a seat at the next general election. This looks like an obstacle. What about the Lords? I wonder if Cameron would want him there!
