Thanks Simon; I'd forgotten that's on today !!

I've always thought of Boris as a buffoon ... I do hope the Beeb has managed to quell that side of him !

I think Boris has worked very hard at his Buffoon image  :)

As genealogists should we too burst into tears at every revelation? (Like Patsy) I must admit to a moist eye when reading the actual record of my deceased sisters and brother at the Records Office.

From his hairstyle I guess Boris just loves to be noticed. However his ability must be appreciated by those who work with him, or would he be down the road by now?

We shall see.

Is it possible to log onto iplayer in Oz?

Thanks for the reminder Lydart, I'd have forgotten!

I think Boris the Buffoon is adorable, strange I know, but as someone who pays no mind to politicans whatsoever, I just find him entertaining!  As for the hair, have you ever seen his father?  Like father, like son!
