'Of all the sensations of joy and release that Nature in her kindness has bestowed on the human race, there is little or nothing to beat the moment when you get rid of the baby’s car seat. It beats getting off a long-haul flight. It beats getting off a pair of ill-fitting ski-boots after a hard day on the slopes. It verges, frankly, on the orgasmic. As you take the wretched thing to Oxfam, you thank your stars that never again will you have to grapple with that incomprehensible buckle. Never again will you stand sweating over your baby as it screams and writhes and sticks yoghurt in your ear.’
Boris Johnson (Daily Telegraph – 21 September 2006)
I think there is a contrast where he (Boris) suddenly wanted to make babies again, [ I think it is called sex but it was so long ago....]
and the article reminds us of the future U - turns to come
or perhaps that there was a time when he didnt want babies but carried on screwing
in the later case - the electorate as well as the Cabinet
- refers to a liddle babby as 'it' - bit of an elenchus there boris
//As you take the wretched thing to Oxfam, you thank your stars that never again will you have to grapple with that incomprehensible buckle//
boris must have cursed his lucky stars five times so far . . .
Boris should should be used to baby seats , just look at the idiot when he was left swinging helpless from a Ski Lift, when he was Mayor of London.
........Should have left him there......
You might miss him when he eventually goes.
A proper right wing Government with a hard-line leader is due.
Labour are in terminal decline.
Boris and co will be the last lefty/liberal Government most of you will ever know.
Anne seems to doubt he has fathered children since 2006. Perhaps you should consider revising your heading to ‘more musings from idiots’, hymie. What a spiteful bunch.
I wish Jennifer Arcuri would tell her story to the press about how she spent the thousands of tax payers £s that Boris gave her ........and is she still receiving hush money . ?
Those who don't learn from history are doomed to find it biting them on the bahookie.
Maybe the fragrant, current Mrs J will have a quiet word over afternoon tea. :-)
Why can't most of the posters on here see the irony of the situation ?
It was a well written, light-hearted piece in its day which has come back to haunt him now
It's a bit like saying "I'll never touch another drop again, & being caught down at the boozer".
