JustGav Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I like the sentiment, but not really sure how practical it would be (I'm loosing my eutopian views and replacing them with synical ones...) Mayor of London promises full wi-fi coverage by 2012 In time for the Olympic Games http://www.techeye.net/internet/mayor-of-london-promises-full-wi-fi-coverage-by-2012 That said, he doesn't exactly inspire confidence, but I personally think he is a brilliant character http://www.techeye.net/assets/upload/borisjohnson.jpg And this quote is classic It's thanks to Google that all of us sentient adults spend so much of our lives grazing absently like ruminants on this vast Serengeti of information.

Abz Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 My Dad met him, said his quite a humble fella. I personally think he is a wacky character but likable, his much better than Ken Livingstone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he is wacky and that is what appeals so much about him... compare him to other politicians and he actually has some charm and almost an air of humanity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 On the tube not so long ago there was a youngster I guess around 20 yrs old who looked like his mini-me, was hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the smartest man if he went for MP but he would be a damn sight better than Blair or Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I believe Boris is actually very smart.... just that he does have a tendency to put his foot in his mouth rather a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QSC Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I was watching his "Who do you Think you are ?" last night - it was fascinating - illegitimately related to french nobility and a direct descendant of Ali Kemal, a Turkish minister who was lynched by an angry mob for opposing Ataturk, Turkey's first Prime Minister in 1922. Almost as British as our Royal Family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
