Oh Boris ...

I have long had a very disturbing thing for Boris Johnson. I rationalise it away by saying that he's a cyclist, so aside from his questionable use of his penis and occasionally nutty policies, he must be a decent chap underneath. [Poll #1480605]

I fear for your friend post-apocalypse, LOL. Seriously, I'm trying to learn all sorts of useful skills to become more self-sufficient and have a gentler impact on the world: gardening, preserving, knitting. Granted, I'm pretty rubbish at all of these right now, but hoping to improve before the end of the world.

Yay, Boris. Don't love him, but he was certainly in the right place at the right time.

Join the SCA; we're the largest non-mechanized standing army in the world, and the only ones who still know how to fight without electronic or gunpowder. And we can teach you anything you need to know to survive after the apocalypse.

YES! That was the major reason I decided I needed to be useful. Growing up on communes, I was SO resistant to the basket weaving side of the world, but as I was convinced that we were ever so likely to bomb ourselves back into the stone age, I decided I should probably be prepared.

And Boris, building cycle paths, saving film-makers, making terrible jokes in public ... I fear my shameful love is bound to continue ...
