Where I come from, the word "Johnson" means a four-letter word beginning with "C". Looking at his latest exploit, it's not hard to understand why this is appropriate.



Oh and here is a nice photo of his new best friends, who will shortly be joining him as VIP guests at the Olympics. Two tickets that could have gone to soldiers or nurses.

I thought Boris handled that situation very calmly, just hanging there, waving his flags, and cheering on the rowing team.....

What is there to hate about him? he is a very laid back, and pretty funny guy, certainly no `C U Next Tuesday`

That picture of him hanging around is hilarious!!.

Why should the Murdochs get free tickets...FFS it's not like they cant afford to buy their own

I'm not usually a fan of conservatives, or politicians in general for that matter, but I have to say Boris is a very funny guy and I think he adds a much needed quirkiness to the world of politics.

This this.
I wonder how that awful man Livingstone would have handled such a situation?

[Dobrzynski]

I could not help laughing my head off at the sight of Boris dangling like a buffoon. Something about him makes politics fly out of the window, and makes everybody smile.

I don't normally make such comments, but OMG is that his WIFE?!

I'm sorry that was vulgar. I'm completely sincere in expressing my belief that he loves her for her brains and she him for his superlative morality...

He's hilarious and I think situations like this are funny.

However I think he'd be dangerous if he was ever given a job to do other than being a general buffoon I can't believe he invited the Murdoch's!

I'd always given him credit for the Boris Bikes because I think they're absolutely fantastic but it turns out Labour had started the whole thing off and Boris just carried it on.

There's something about him though that you can't help liking - I wish he had a job in TV or something instead of politics :L

She kind of came to his rescue when he got hit with a custard pie or something a Commons Committee last year.

She 'slapped' the guy who threw the pie .

While I'm not savvy on him as a politician, a lot of Londoners seem to like his upbeat, kinda zany personality, and I have to admit, him dangling from a zip wire with those flags is one of the most funny things I've seen in ages.

I fell in love in with him when I saw him appear on Have I got for you in 2004.

[PoGo HoPz]

On a serious note though, anyone up for some Wiff Waff?

[dhr90]

We do get exceptional value with Boris around. Some of the things he comes out with are pure gold!

[Fires]

LOL at all the right-wing droids here negging me for statin' the bleedin' obvious, that he is not just a vain prat but a corrupt, self-serving vain prat, to boot.

You're all in love with him, and with Rupe's help, he will doubtless one day be PM. When that happens, you will all see the viper behind the toothy smiles and gormless amiability.

She had the hots for a big businessman and then a US state senator before she met him - clearly she finds looks to be the main factor in the marriage equation. Closely followed by moral values.
