Mayor Boris serves Governator cold revenge
Taking the piss out of the machines: London mayor Boris Johnson gave himself a full year to stew over being mocked by California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for rhetorical fluency. Ironic that.

Old news is old
And by the way Boris. Nice comeback. Shame it only took you a year for your speech writers to come up with it. Oh and by the way... what is your native first language? How's your german?
You know when someone disses you and you can't think of a good comeback
and then a year later you come up with a comeback that is neither witty, insightful, accurate or original?
Yeah, best just to let it lie.
Last laugh
Arnie will have the last laugh, because as he says "I'll be back."

Would have been a better way of announcing Boris' speech.
Behave.
Arnold's comment wasn't much of an dissing IMHO, it was just a bit amazement. Boris "el polar bear loco" should know better and concentrate on the serious issues. Unless he was elected just for being funny.

Hear hear,
What a miserable bunch.
Someone got out of bed the wrong side.

@Partick R

Slowly, I would imagine.
I'll get *your* coat (and your boots, your clothes and your motorcycle).
If the truth be know
Boris was only elected to raise a smile whilst reading the metro on the tube into god awful work every day.
I'll get me coat, bowler hat and brolly.
If the REAL Truth be known
Boris was elected by people in the suburbs who objected to what they saw as Red Ken's persecution of the Chelsea Tractor driver and those who hankered for the return of the red telephone box, the Routemaster bus, ration cards and rickets. And Old English Spangles.

@ShirkingFromHome
"Having a bad day?"
Dunno, but old Boris looks like he's having a bad hair day - or does he always look like that?
He should sack his hair stylist *and* his script writer.
Witty repartee is best served immediately (and preferably witty), not a year later.
