I wonder how long he practiced for this ?

For all the ‘Boris Bashing’ on here he wouldn’t look twice at any of us - he’s with a beautiful woman in her early 30’s.
He looks very happy to me ?

I beg to differ!
As was said about Clinton, ‘he’s a very difficult dog to keep on the porch’
I reckon that his tastes are probably quite eclectic

I don’t think that we have seen the back of Johnson at all.
Truss will make a complete mess of things, and the Conservatives will be begging for him to return.
There will be a GE and Labour will be far too preoccupied with falling out with each other about to put on a united front.
Meanwhile the Tories will all stand firmly behind their man, and Johnson will romp home.

If your prediction was to come true, I fear many on GN would be having an attack of the vapours ????

Oh I’m sure he has a wandering eye, but I doubt it wanders as far as pensioners ?

Nandalot Sat 06-Aug-22 13:11:33

I notice for once his hair looks quite presentable. So he can make the effort!

Oh, I don't think so.
Can't imagine him behaving as Clinton has reputedly done.

I can't bear the man one bit; but even I think it's a low blow to criticise a man for dancing with his young son.

grannydarkhair Sat 06-Aug-22 13:30:41

eezybee Quite right, I noticed the spelling mistake after I’d posted (as usual).
Why are some people assuming that I posted this to be nasty? Have none of you heard Peter Kay or other comedians do his/their bit about “Dad dancing”? That’s what this wee video brought to my mind.

Callistemon21 Sat 06-Aug-22 13:38:10

Oh dear, I just showed DH and now he's walking round waving his arms about and singing Sweet Caroline ?
Grandad Dancing

Joseanne Sat 06-Aug-22 13:41:32

That's the problem with Dad/Grandad dancing, they don't know how to control their arms to move in unison with their body.

I think I must be the only person on the planet who hasn't watched Dirty Dancing. Obviously seen clips, heard the music but that's it. Maybe one day.

I haven't seen it or heard the music. Probably never will unless it's forced on me in my dotage.

I have heard of it. I suppose that's a start ?

Is it usual now for the bride to dance with her grandfather in the first dance ........... ? smile

Oh, that’s unkind.

TBH, I looked at the clip and couldn’t see what the fuss was about.

Baggs Sat 06-Aug-22 13:57:22

I wonder how many GNers would even allow a skit of them dancing to 1960's popular music to be shown on social media.

I'd actually like to see some of you dancing ?

(I have danced (Scottish) in public many times, including on TV once.)

When did the Johnson's do anything "usual"?

And why should they?

Speak for yourself!
I’m eight years younger than both Johnson and his second wife.
And I know for an absolute fact that there are some extremely attractive and glamorous women on GN who would turn any man’s head.

Kandinsky Sat 06-Aug-22 14:33:39

You’re very young to be on GN FannyCornforth - I imagine the average age is around 65?
( although I’m in my 50’s so not a pensioner either! )

Apparently at the Lebedev's last party in Umbria- Katie Price and him hmmm.

Oh, I hadn't seen that, Thanks for posting, looks like a fun family occasion.

I do wonder who will come in for constant derision once Mr.Johnson is no longer on the scene?

Boris Bashing has become a daily occurrence for some on GN, no doubt they will miss him dearly…

I agree. Well said.

If you are going to insult someone. at least take the trouble to spell it correctly.
The verb is 'practised.'

? - you saved me from feeling the need to say it.

It's easy enough to make a typo! And the OP wasn't saying/typing anything insulting.

Dinahmo Sat 06-Aug-22 15:16:25

Looking at the size of the marquee the party would appear to be sparsely attended.

In a few years it will just wander to the next 30 year old.

Dinahmo I explained in my second post why I’d posted the clip. Why eazybee thinks it was insulting, I have no idea.
