Well, that was...interesting...

A London bus that folds down to reveal a privet hedge in the shape of the London skyline, Leona Lewis and Jimmy Page performing 'Whole Lotta Love', a dance troupe performing as commuters queuing for the bus, a lollipop lady and the Abbey Road crossing, David Beckham kicking a ball about, Boris managing not to trip up or drop the flag - that's

Looking forward to these games...but mostly looking forward to being there for them. haha

Is it wrong for me to think Boris is rather cute? :)

[denorios]

Absolutely not! I adore Boris, just adore him.

I've watched Who do you think you are? with him recently. He said that he looks like a foreigner in England and explained that he looks like that because of all those ancestors - Turkish, Jewish, Lithuanian etc. He really looks like a Lithuanian guy to me, even like a typical Lithuanian. I thought about irony of that. Because it was mostly Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians who were cast as Englishmen in Soviet films. I remember watching those films (it was mostly about the detectives) when I was growing up and thinking how foreign those actors look :)

Umm. At least Becks looked good? (as usual)

I thought t'old Boris looked a bit dazed - like he'd just fallen out of bed five minutes before! Hardly our proudest moment... but the bus was pretty cool. We British seem to think we can just throw David Beckham into the crowd and we're sorted. It usually works, actually!
