Boris Johnson
The excitement is growing so much I think the Geiger counter of Olympo-mania is going to go zoink off the scale.
Johnson quotes
We are confident in our story and will be fighting this all the way. I am very sorry that Alastair Campbell has taken this decision but I can see that he got his tits in the wringer.
Johnson
It was a stellar performance. I may as well give up now and make way for an older man.




Johnson Boris quotes
In 1904, 20 per cent of journeys were made by bicycle in London. I want to see a figure like that again. If you can't turn the clock back to 1904, what's the point of being a Conservative?
Johnson Boris
Some readers will no doubt say that a devil is inside me; and though my faith is a bit like Magic FM in the Chilterns, in that the signal comes and goes, I can only hope that isn't so.
Boris Johnson quotes
Old Man Howard, that Old Man Howard, he just keeps rolling, just keeps rolling.
Boris Johnson
Nothing excites compassion, in friend and foe alike, as much as the sight of you ker-splonked on the Tarmac with your propeller buried six feet under.
Johnson Boris quotes
There is absolutely no one, apart from yourself, who can prevent you, in the middle of the night, from sneaking down to tidy up the edges of that hunk of cheese at the back of the fridge.
Johnson
I think I was once given cocaine but I sneezed so it didn't go up my nose. In fact, it may have been icing sugar.
Johnson Boris
Any seat would be mad not to take him. He's a terrific chap.
Boris Johnson
Nor do I propose to defend the right to talk on a mobile while driving a car, though I don't believe that is necessarily any more dangerous than the many other risky things that people do with their free hands while driving - nose-picking, reading the paper, studying the A-Z, beating the children, and so on.




Boris Johnson quotes
Not only did I want Bush to win, but we threw the entire weight of The Spectator behind him.
Boris Johnson
Voting Tory will cause your wife to have bigger breasts and increase your chances of owning a BMW M3.
Johnson quotes
Johnson: I have got a city to run and that's exactly the point! The government of London will carry on irrespective of the temporary difficulties in providing a national government. Thank you.
Johnson Boris
Johnson: Well, I've had enough of it!
Johnson Boris quotes
I don't see why people are so snooty about Channel 5. It has some respectable documentaries about the Second World War. It also devotes considerable airtime to investigations into lap dancing, and other related and vital subjects.
Boris Johnson
He's lost the plot, people tell me. He's drifting rudderless in the wide Sargasso Sea of New Labour's ideological vacuum.
Boris Johnson quotes
If Amsterdam or Leningrad vie for the title of Venice of the North, then Venice - what compliment is high enough? Venice, with all her civilisation and ancient beauty, Venice with her addiction to curious aquatic means of transport, yes, my friends, Venice is the Henley of the South.
Boris Johnson
Most politicians, as far as I can work out, are pretty incompetent, and then have a veneer of competence, you do seem to do it the other way around.
Johnson Boris
I didn't see it, but it sounds barbaric. It's become like cock-fighting: poor dumb brutes being set upon each other by conniving television producers.
