Scots welcome new Prime Minister Boris Johnson to Edinburgh

I´m actually curious what kind of a welcome he will get abroad, in Brussles, Paris, Berlin. We have a hot summer here in Germany, but I just know, the moment his limo drives up the courtyard of Willy-Brandt-Straße 1, the temperatures will will be sub-zero.

They brought Boris stuff to help fill up a ball pit. How very nice of them.

This whole video has me crying in laughter but that is especially hilarious

I’d forgotten that - including the priceless line:

"In 1942 William Beveridge, architect of the post-war socialist democracy said ’ all mystery-investigating teenagers and dogs of working age should pay a weekly national insurance contribution and in return all the jungle canyon rope bridges will be fully maintained in a safe condition’"
And if that does not induce a few more people to view the clip …

This video would go well with a milkshake or three.

Way to go Britain, you sure know how to flush your population and any future hope they had down the toilet.

What a sack of shit they end up with

Hahahaha holy shite

I love Scotland.
I’m not from there, and not being from a place that you enjoy visiting always seems to put a glossy shine on those places “other” than your own neighborhood.
But, still, I really love it there.

Well done, Frankie

Well, I tried to make sense, but this thread is full of laughter- might as well leave in my own buffoonery.

He’s been described as an anti-comedian, the kind of man who spits disdainful venom at the audience, seemingly intent on making them get up and leave so he can rant wearily to himself that nobody understands. He certainly never tells a joke.

I think he’s hilarious. “These days, if you say you’re English,” from 2016.

Every episode of that (Stewarts Lee’s Comedy Vehicle) was pure genius - and I think I have saved one or two which I may only have watched bits of, so I still have some joy to come.

Not the kilt as such, but a kilt-related accessoire.

Also Nelson in “Blackhawk Down” along with his “Trainspotting” chum, Ewan McGregor; both playing American Serivemen, because, apparently, Hollywood doesn’t have enough American actors to fill the roles :smiley:

Can they play anything else?
