How long ago did you call it, that Alexander Boris de Pfeffel would be PM?

[fucthest8]

I need year at least and please describe the circumstances.

Mine was 2013. Some of my son's friends had been laughing about Boris Johnson, what a funny, funny Mayor of London; my son told them that he believed Boris was a dangerous lunatic. Later he relayed this story to me. I concurred and then said "You watch, that fucker will be running the country at some point".

I imagine many of you astute P&P'ers realised it even longer ago. Do tell.

In 1973, I was 8. I was on a space hopper. I looked up at my brother and said:

“One day the prime minister will be called...Boris Johnson”.
“Lol. ‘Johnson’. That means ‘willy’!” he replied.

No-one said "lol" in 1973. I've always trusted you danny, but this?
So disappointing.

Title change would help; perhaps Mods could incinerate any thread with the cunt's chosen given forename it it?

 

[StoneRoad]

I kept hoping that he would fall at one of the hurdles ...

How's that now? Better?

He was ahead of his time. He was 6 that year, and he’d already predicted predictive texts.

Kick off with the obvious...."Go on, pull my finger..."

They did. I reckon that guy in the bowtie invented it. The smirking guy in the middle is about to invent Internet porn

Nope, he was the ROFLcopter guy.

 

[Cid]

I’m told just after I was born I smeared excrement on a picture of Johnson sr and said, quite clearly, ‘his son will be pm’.

 

[Dillinger4]

I still don't believe that he is. Or ever really will be. Not properly. This is all just a big joke isn't it?

 

[oryx]

About three weeks ago.

Same here. I honestly didn't believe he'd ever be PM. I had a feeling that the last time he had a crack at it and dropped out, there was some dark secret behind that.

Must've been wishful thinking.

Johnson's happy enough to finally get snapped with someone shorter than himself. (Not many folk who haven't seen him irl seem to realise quite how tiny he is)

 

[littlebabyjesus]

About three weeks ago.

Yep. Even when May resigned I thought he'd fail. Then I came to the numbing realisation that it had in fact been inevitable from that point.

That's really weird. I saw him once at City Hall when he was mayor and thought he looked much taller than I imagined him!

We you bowing?

Come on...!

This was in about 2010, though. His posture is that of someone of much older and he may have become more bent over since then - that's the only reason I can think of.

He's tiny...and getting smaller.

I remember reading Nostradamus yonks before any of you had an inkling and thinking:

"Dans le grande isle vient un bufon blond, coureur de jupons et ami de baiseur de cochons. Il se croit adroit mais est plutot a droit. Son pouvoir ne dure pas"

"In the big island there comes a blond buffoon, skirt chaser and friend of a pig kisser. He thinks he's adroit but he's rather righter (untranslatable and crap French pun). His power does not last"

Quatrain 486

Could that refer to young Boris?

If you think the French is wrong then remember that it has changed a lot since 1555.

Really? I kind of imagined him to be huge. Like a shade under 7 foot or something.
No idea why I thought that - he always seems to be on his own in the pics I've seen of him.

 

[campanula]

Mmmm me too, 8ball...but I think that's because that little bit of film showing him viciously barging a smallish child to the ground has probably distorted my idea (of a blundering, large, milk-fed oaf).

 

[planetgeli]

When he rises up and pings off the guy ropes of self-doubt he’s 11 ft 13.

Otherwise, he’s exactly the same height as Corbyn. They should have a celebrity death match. Minus the celebrity bit obviously.
