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."

I'll get my coat.

Would have been a better way of announcing Boris' speech.

Patrick R

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.

Having a bad day?

You mean he wasn't?!?!?!?

I thought the office of Mayor of London was created to keep the loonies busy.

If Arnie is monosyllabic... 

Happy

how does he say his surname?

@Partick R 

Surely Boris was elected purely because he isn't Ken Livingstone and no-one had heard of any of the other 1,895 people who stood?

"If Arnie is monosyllabic... how does he say his surname?"

Slowly, I would imagine.

I'll get *your* coat (and your boots, your clothes and your motorcycle).

If the truth be know 

Coat

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 

IT Angle

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.

"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.
