Boris Johnson

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

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

That's alright Nonu.

Should have said Murdoch , not Murdock

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.......................................

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.

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

It's all these bloody blooming flags everywhere!

This thread is getting a little bit muddled up.

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

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

I didn't support anything.

And I'm getting bored with the Olympics now.

I want Casualty back on the telly.

[petulant pout]

forgot whatever will I do when olympics over

Granjura , who supported it ?

Given the recent track record of News International, I'm concerned that any British political leader (if that's what BJ is) would touch Murdoch with a bargepole. And, by the way, that also goes for Alex Salmond who appeared to be courting him at one time.

Nothing wrong with being patriotic - but I find it bizarre to say the least that anybody would support Murdoch's personal invitation by Boris (:

My shout , cocktail , beer , cider whatever !

I'm flagging ! need ,

You might well blush young lady , I am only being patriotic ,

Sorry.

Nonu will you quit the flippin' flags!!!

genuine !

Nonu, not sure about your 'why'? Response will vary depending on whether is was a funny, sarcastic approval - or a genuine question?

Nothing wrong with being high as a kite as such. it is just a case of where it will get him.
However he is the Mayor of London so at times, a certain amount of tact may be needed.
"low self control" is a professional judgement - It describes the sort of person who is the opposite of the cautious, inhibited, stiff upper lip, stereotype of an English man. He has been in trouble a number of times due to indiscretion and general lack of caution in various ways. He tends to blurt things out and also his clothing is a bit uncontrolled - I heard an MP describe how he was sitting next to him in the House one day and realised that BJ's trousers were stapled together along the inside seam! Not to mention the scruffy un-done jacket in Bejing which was not polite to his hosts in China.
Low self control is great trait in a comedian for instance.
I count myself as someone with naturally low self control - it has got me into trouble in the past, that's for sure. So I know of what I speak.

"low self control"!!! That's just mean. |How can you possibly know that?

And is there anything wrong with being "high as a kite on the Olympics"? Should we all stay in gloomy mode and let this fantastic event pass us by?
