More Musings From An Idiot (Courtesy Of Private Eye)

[Hymie]

'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)

A bit boring after 15 years I’d say , the kid will be at Uni now so why go looking for old newspaper snippets?

[royfromaus]

Why on earth have you posted this irrelevant piffle?

Seriously...why?

[emmie]

because he hates Boris and all that he stands for... its drivel and he knows it

[Gromit]

That is a good piece of writing. Obviously ironic now he has a new little un.

Boris should go back to writing. That is his true vocation, not his current job.

[emmie]

you have to admit Gromit, he's not had an easy ride as PM, with now Afghanistan on top of Brexit, Pandemic etc.

[bobbinwales]

Looks like gulliver has rival whose infatuated with Boris too

[Hymie]

royfromaus – your question as to why someone would publish such piffle, should be addressed to one Boris Johnson.

[Bobbisox1]

But why after 15yrs? ^^^^

[Gromit]

emmie

Not to mention running a mistress, getting her pregnant, ignoring your own advice and then catching Covid, agreeing an EU deal before actually reading it…

[Gromit]

Bobbisox1,
It is in the current issue of Private Eye magazine.

It is funny/ironic because he our PM again has a new baby, and is suffering parenting again. And this time he is 57 years old.

[royfromaus]

This is not news

it was never news

it will never be news


My question is to you, Hymie.

Why have you cluttered up news with an irrelevant piece of historic rambling from Johnson?

What is your point?

[burlyshirley]

Lol Hymie, very good.

[Gromit]

royfromaus

It is an amusing piece of writing.
And it is amusing that he is having to do it all again.

[royfromaus]

It still isn't news

[ToraToraTora]

Well I must admit it's a creative dig at the PM. However I can't help but think this post is more qualified as "More Musings From An Idiot".

[dannyk13]

This post is absolute rubbish.

[Hymie]

Perhaps Boris is having the last laugh.

Apparently in 2002 he was paid around £30K/year for writing rubbish in the Daily Telegraph; now his fee is £275K – someone at the Telegraph needs their head examining (I’d be willing to write such tosh for 1/10 of that figure).

[ToraToraTora]

there is someone on this thread who needs their head examining.

[Zacs-Master]

More musings from an idiot. (Wrote the OP, ironically).

[naomi24]

Hymie, if you’d be happy to be paid to write such tosh, why are you criticising him? Your post really is a load of old tosh.
