This is a lovely story. An actual real life one too! Full of danger, near death, iron bars and oiks. What more could a girl want?

Quote:
London mayor Boris Johnson has rescued a woman who was being attacked by an armed group of young girls, chasing them down the road on his bicycle.

Franny Armstrong called for help as she was surrounded and pushed by the girls, one of whom had an iron bar, in Camden, north London, on Monday night.

The mayor, who was cycling past, stopped and chased the girls down the street, calling them: "Oiks".


I would like a Boris of my own, maybe he should launch a Boris doll. What a wonderful character he is. But I would likely do as she did, excellent taste Smiley: lol

Quote:
She admitted that she did not agree with Mr Johnson's politics and had voted for rival Ken Livingstone in the 2008 mayoral election.

He looks like a Wii Mii, that's actually alive and can talk.

I'm not sure if that makes sense. I'm also not sure which one is more intelligent than the other.

He is indeed awesome, though. Much better than Ken "YOU PAY TO DRIVE ON MAH ROADS" Livingstone.

Boris Johnson is pile of twattle piffle. I don't deny that he's a good host on HIGNFY, but can anyone here name a single policy he's put in place since he was elected mayor? Does anyone know of a single thing he's done as mayor of London?

I'm asking genuinely. I can think of one, which was to ban drinking alcohol on the tube. But I really can't think of anything else. Well, he did insult the Chinese by calling table tennis "Whiff Whaff" and proclaiming that "Whiff whaff is coming home!" because of the 2012 Olympics.

So yeah, if by "awesome" you mean "useless but midly amusing", I suppose he's "awesome".

This is exactly what I mean.

He's like a less offensive Prince Philip. Seriously, watch this. It's only 30 seconds long.

He's a likeable oaf who is an irrelevance to politics.

As Mayor, the only policy he's taken seriously is his pledge to get rid of 'bendy buses', and on that point he's changed his mind at least 10 times.

Over-privileged twat.

That is a very good point. I feel ashamed for not having spotted it sooner.

He increased fares for public transport, forced Ian Blair to step down as head of the met, and... got the river Thames back on the tube map?

Yeah, I can't really think of a third thing. Still, ridiculous as he is, I'm not sure if anything can beat out Gordon's biscuit question.

So Red, is it true that you wanted to join the diplomatic wing of the civil service, but they said you were too French to join?

The worst thing is that yes, it's true :(

I could get British citizenship, but... I'm just too lazy. One day, maybe.

Yeah, he's not smart.

He's funny, though.

While that may not be the first thing you look for in a mayor, I don't live in London so frankly I couldn't give a sh*t, and I just want a giggle when the news comes on. Hence the hilarious video about him falling in the river that I posted above.
