Don’t give me Caol Isla, I just need a tot of Bowmore.

We can but hope so.

Are you celebrating with hot punch or port?

Glenmorangie.

Livingstone a “temporary evil”? How many terms has he had as mayor of London? How many years before then did he run a bully pulpit and align himself with the likes of Gerry Healey?

I’m writing from Canada, so have no idea how bad Boris really is, but isn’t he more likely to be a one-term wonder than Livingstone has proven to be? I’m also in no position to know if Livingstone has cultivated a successor of any sorts. That’s not usually an aspect of municipal politics, but just wondering.

So George is claiming he won’t be paid if elected?
Lying liars etc.

Get a 21inch screen.

a)Mount St Helens, b)Elba and c)St Helena often gets mushed up in my brain.

I agree I wouldnt want him on b) though a) erupting could be fun or c) or even somewhere more antarctic like south Georgia islands which he could rename as something more penguiny and less imperialist.

Graham do you think George’s penis will end up in a match box failing to be sold at a Christies auction?

I note that peace seems to have broken out between Socialist Unity, Harry’s Place and Shiraz Socialist (though I wouldn’t count on an end to hostilities between the latter and former, not while Jim Denham keeps breathing).

With Rome having fallen to Gianni Alemanno, an ex-MSI ‘post-fascist’ type, the new Mayor, it is to be hoped that both the BNP and Boris do not replicate this. Particularly the call for cleansing the city of illegal immigrants, raising Gypsy encampments to ground, or indeed the shouts of Duce! Duce!
