"Game for a laugh Boris Johnson dangled in mid-air yesterday — after getting stuck on an Olympics zip wire" (From The Sun)
 
 

 
 
The London Mayor was heard shouting: “Get me a rope, get me a ladder!” as he hung in his harness on the sagging 1,000ft-long line.
 
Boris, who was wearing a blue safety helmet and waving two Union Jack flags, waited for organisers to haul him the last 65 feet to the end of the ride. He joked: “I think the brakes got stuck.”
 
The mishap happened as Boris, 48, visited the BT London Live event for the Olympics in Victoria Park, Hackney, East London. It prompted roars of laughter from the crowd below. And it sparked a rash of jokey comments on Twitter.
 
The Mayor’s sister Rachel Johnson said: “He’s won gold in the flying coxless wedgie.”
 
 
 
 
Bless him, but what an oik

There are no sides to be taken with Boris, he is demonstrating here once again that he is the complete arse whatever your political leanings...



Fortunately as you can see on the screen the Mens Cycling time trial was taking place where Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome managed to completely upstage him by winning Gold and Bronze respectively.

The only thing that worries me about Boris is that he is in a position to make important decisions that actually affect people living in London...

Some of Bozza's 'best' quotes:
 
 
On George W Bush
"The President is a cross-eyed Texan warmonger, unelected, inarticulate, who epitomises the arrogance of American foreign policy."

On using a mobile phone while driving
"I don't believe that is necessarily any more dangerous than the many other risky things that people do with their free hands while driving - nose-picking, reading the paper, studying the A-Z, beating the children, and so on."

On commuting
"I forgot that to rely on a train, in Blair's Britain, is to engage in a crapshoot with the devil."

On Euro-scepticism
"I can hardly condemn UKIP as a bunch of boss-eyed, foam-flecked Euro hysterics, when I have been sometimes not far short of boss-eyed, foam-flecked hysteria myself."

On Tony Blair
"It is just flipping unbelievable. He is a mixture of Harry Houdini and a greased piglet. He is barely human in his elusiveness. Nailing Blair is like trying to pin jelly to a wall."

On becoming Prime Minister
"My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive."

On Channel 5
"I don't see why people are so snooty about Channel 5. It has some respectable documentaries about the Second World War. It also devotes considerable airtime to investigations into lap-dancing, and other related and vital subjects."

On being sacked by Michael Howard
"My friends, as I have discovered myself, there are no disasters, only opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters."

On how to vote
"Voting Tory will cause your wife to have bigger breasts and increase your chances of owning a BMW M3."

On why he voted for David Cameron as Tory leader
"I'm backing David Cameron's campaign out of pure, cynical self-interest."

On drugs
"I think I was once given cocaine but I sneezed so it didn't go up my nose. In fact, it may have been icing sugar."

On the City of Portsmouth
"Too full of drugs, obesity, underachievement and Labour MPs."

On tennis
"I love tennis with a passion. I challenged Boris Becker to a match once and he said he was up for it but he never called back. I bet I could make him run around."

On the Liberal Democrats
"The Lib Dems are not just empty. They are a void within a vacuum surrounded by a vast inanition."

Can't say I disagree with any of them.

Are sayin some politicians tell lies ? Surely not.

Anyhoo, I'd love to see him in charge personally, though mebbe someone else could look after the nukes for him.
That said, I don't think he's as daft as he makes out.
