So Boris has invited Murdoch to accompany him to the Women's 800 metres finals this weekend. Locog gave the London Assembly tickets "to use for corporate hospitality to try and drive growth in London."

Now I may be a little unfair here but if any non-Brit knows London better than Rupert Murdoch, I'd love to know who they are.

Hopefully those in attendance will let the old man know what they think of him and if you're not going, just leave a message on your answerphone and he'll arrange for one of his lackeys to listen to it later.

Exactly. It's a total farce.

How can you suggest such a thing?

I have never read one of BoJo's books. Are they all cliffhangers, where the reader is left hanging in suspense?

Not everyone will have been wired up to receive that reference.

I know it's short and slightly endearing but I wish people would stop calling him Bo Jo.
