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.'

I can't help it. I love Boris.

I didn't support anything.

Nonu - was it not you who asked 'why' it was very badly misjudged to personally invite Murdoch to the Olympics as official guest?!?

JO4 Sat 04-Aug-12 19:05:56

This thread is getting a little bit muddled up. grin

I don't know who said what. Or why.

JO4 Sat 04-Aug-12 19:06:38

It's all these bloody blooming flags everywhere! hmm

Nonu Sat 04-Aug-12 19:10:57

Granjura , No, No , I believe I said on two posts that I thought it was INTERESTING that Boris had invited Murdock flag

Just saw on the news that he took Rupert Murdoch to the games last night [who is possibly backing him as a potential leader]. So, sorry Boris; our love affair is over. You really are the right wing buffoon that you appear to be.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Na na na, na na, na na na na
Hey Jude, don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you? Hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Na na na, na na, na na na na, Hey Jude.......................................

Nonu Sat 04-Aug-12 19:19:57

Should have said Murdoch , not Murdock flag

JO4 Sat 04-Aug-12 19:24:33

That's alright Nonu. smile

Anagram Sat 04-Aug-12 19:31:55

'The movement you need is on your shoulder'? Is that really right? confused
How strange...

crimson Sat 04-Aug-12 19:42:31

Sorry guys; didn't realise what had been written on the previous page [flitting in and out at the mo].

JO4 Sat 04-Aug-12 19:53:35

I know. If I see another lot of young toned bodies in their skinny lycra pedalling their so-called 'bikes' round and round in ever decreasing circles (or so it seems) I shall............ you don't wanna know! hmm

Sigh.

JO4 Sat 04-Aug-12 20:01:52

Why can't we have a nice half-way-through ceremony now? To get us all syked up again.

GERALDINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's f*** up again!

JO4 Sat 04-Aug-12 20:12:17

And it doesn't let you put the right number of stars.

I said it doesn't! hmm

JO4 Sat 04-Aug-12 20:13:10

You nearly got it right that time Nonu

JessM Sat 04-Aug-12 20:13:44

flag you are putting an S in. Just because you want more than one, don't put an s in. flag

JessM Sat 04-Aug-12 20:14:47

[ flag ] without the spaces. Why is there no "team GB" in the middle, that's what I want to know.

JO4 Sat 04-Aug-12 20:15:04

confused There's no 's' in f*cked.
