I know this has little to do with moving back to UK, but i am on my own babysitting and need to get this off my chest.
If any of you intend to return to London or the south east, you are destined for regular cringe sessions whenever Boris Johnson (new London mayor) gets his hands on a microphone.
Just watched 6pm news. There he is, bumbling his way around Beijing with various news crews. He is there to take the hand over for London olympics. He gets on the mic to give a speech... what does he say in front of a room full of chinese dignitories???...(gawwwd, i wanted to slide under my table with embarrassment)..

Beam me up scottie.
Someone shoot him before he makes us the laughing stock of the world

As someone who is leaning towards going back to London right now, I was just thinking what Bo Jo's impact on life might be. And then I came here and read your post. Cringe.

LOL that really isnt as cringeworthy as our own venerable Duddster addressing the mandarins in mandarin and grovelling with his nose so far up their xxxxs. I actually like Boris and he does tend to say it like he sees it - I dont think PC is his middle name.

I am up for it if you are! What should we sing?
I was sinigng the baby to sleep earlier and remembered a daft song my grandad used to sing to me. The starting line was...
"Auntie Mary had a canary up the leg of her draws"
I have no idea what the rest of the song is, but maybe we could adapt it for the international flavour of the olympics.

I watched the Who do you think you are too, quite a good one as teh series goes.
He is a bufoon isnt he, but then that's always been his trademark. I think the comment following the one about the braces was the important one in that instance though.
Immediately after, he looked at the press and very tounge in cheek said, oh *wink*, did I just fall at the last hurdle? It was a very, very deliberate comment and I think quite brave. One of those things, everyones thinking it but no one else is saying it.
**** it, it was true.

I love Boris, he is such a character, almost his own Spitting Image doll, wouldnt the house of commons be so much more fun if they were more like him. Did make me laugh at the closing ceremony, the Chinese representative and the Olympic guy - Jacques something - both looked very smart and good ole Boris looked like he had stepped out of a hedge, boy he makes me laugh
