are the British totally daft? i just read that when the new lord mayor of London banned alcohol on the tube, half of London goes on a drunken binge in the underground, terrorizing passengers, forming a conga-line and chanting while "conga-ing" "brian is a [:I], oh, brian is a [:I], oh .... (brian is the new lord mayor)
or are all the British just barking mad?
Other quotes by Boris JohnsonOn his hopes of leading the country: "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 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 his rivals in the Liberal Democrats: "The Lib Dems are not just empty. They are a void within a vacuum surrounded by a vast inanition."During the campaign trail of the 2005 general election: "What’s my view on drugs? I’ve forgotten my view on drugs." On George Bush: "The President is a cross-eyed Texan warmonger, unelected, inarticulate, who epitomises the arrogance of American foreign policy." On The 2005 Conservative Leadership Contest: "I am supporting David Cameron purely out of cynical self-interest." "Voting Tory will cause your wife to have bigger breasts and increase your chances of owning a BMW M3."
Sorry Jim, I don't understand the problem. Lots of people had a good time and a few people got hurt- largely emotionally rather than physically. Just the same as any Saturday night (but with a better excuse).I sometimes wonder why America gave up on prohibition- they don't seem to understand how to drink alcohol.
besides, there are also the "traditional" English sports, such as rolling down the hill after a round of cheese, shin kicking, mountain biking through a Kent swamp AND - OH, RIDING TO THE HOUNDS
