Oh Boris
On Sunday, after a gruelling but very entertaining bout of football (our Italian-ornamented side won, accompanied by many on-field shouts of “Che bella!”), one of the English contingent piped up: “If I just ask this very quickly can you answer and pretend you didn’t hear it?

The best blog in Britain, I fear, is Boris Bloody Johnson’s. The evidence:
Boris fell off his bicycle on his way to the House of Commons yesterday afternoon and was taken to hospital to have his injured arm checked out.
His bicycle is in a bad state of repair but Boris himself is much better now and surprised at all the attention this minor injury is receiving. “Lord help us all!” he said, upon news that his fall had made it to national radio news this morning.
Lord help us all!
