Latest comment: "We're getting charged for conjecture? Is there likely to be a charge for supposition and presumption too? Boris is a genius, can you imagine any other mayor being so entertaining? I want Ricky Gervais or Russell Brand to follow in his footsteps! "

Ping pong has its origins in England as an after-dinner amusement for upper-class Victorians in the 1880s. Mimicking the game of tennis in an indoor environment, everyday objects were originally enlisted to act as the equipment. A line of books would be the net, a rounded top of a Champagne cork or knot of string as the ball, and a cigar box lid as the racket

Ping Pong was invented by the British? That's risible.

Endo: No he is just Boris. He may make mistakes and say the wrong think every now and then but really, isn't that what we all need these days?!

Boris is the sort of person who's great to listen to, but you wouldn't want him in a position of power. it's not boris who's made us a laughing stock, its the mass of complete idiot southerners who voted for him. Nice one guys, you've lost us the right to mock those who voted for Dubya...

Guest (452 days ago)

He's a nutter but I think he's just what we need. A bit of colour

I hid behind a cushion with embarrassment. They tell me he's a good administrator; well, if that's the case, he should stay in the background and leave the public appearances to Lord Coe and Roger Black.

Nice one Boris you've single handedly made Britian the laughing stock of the world!
