The Boris

[Paigntonian]

Another great speech at the opening of the Commonwealth Games. He's not down and out just yet..

[ichkeria]

He’s great at speeches as we know.
That’s why he’s popular in Ukraine for example.

If only that was all there was to it

[youngmafbog]

Getting some practice in for the after dinner circuit, where I am sure he will make shed loads of cash.

[THECORBYLOON]

Is the opening ceremony not at 7pm to-night?

[bednobs]

is there a link to this speech? it's difficult to answer you or have an opinion without knowing to what you are referring

[youngmafbog]

c/p 'boris speech commonwealth games' into Google and you will see it.

I wont post a link or I'll get slated by the usual because of the one I have chosen.

[naomi24]

I don't mind posting the link. They can slate me if they like.

[naomi24]

I'm still laughing at that speech. He is so witty, he really is.

[bednobs]

thanks for the link, but i dunno if it's right - i can't see a video? it might be my VPN tho

[naomi24]

The video wouldn't work for me. I just read the text.

[Gromit]

Being rude to the Germans and the French.
Same old same old.

[Redhelen72]

Does he write his own speeches or does he have a speechwriter?

[naomi24]

Don't know - but I bet the wit is his.

[Redhelen72]

I am sure the wit is his own and we all know what they say about wit!

[naomi24]

I don't. What do 'they' say about wit?

[Redhelen72]

If wit was sheet he'd be constipated!

[naomi24]

Hmmm ... no, not heard that one. Rather coarse though. Perhaps you mix in rather different circles to me.

[Redhelen72]

I can safely say I do thankfully mix in very different circles to you!
As for being coarse - my father taught me it and he served Queen and Country so carry on insulting him!

[naomi24]

Very commendable - but it's still coarse.

[FatticusInch]

I guess his number one superfan wasn’t too far away?

Never seen anyone so deluded in all my life.

Did he reprise his mayoral role of ‘bumbling clown with Union flag in hand’?
