Comments on: A dippy egg with Dave http://www.chickyog.net/2006/10/03/a-dippy-egg-with-dave/ The weblog of Brighton-based writer Justin McKeating Sat, 20 Mar 2010 15:26:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Empty Handed » Not Hungry. http://www.chickyog.net/2006/10/03/a-dippy-egg-with-dave/comment-page-1/#comment-21783 Empty Handed » Not Hungry.

With hindsight, of course, it’s pretty obvious he wasn’t going to ask for that, and the draw is obviously the right thing to do. If I do win, I’m going to donate the prize back to Justin, because he would clearly make much better use of it than I ever could, and it was really the thought of this that made me want to sign in the first place. Anyway, as mentioned earlier, it’s not terribly likely to happen, judging by the 2,492 signature shortfall the pledge currently enjoys.

I think Boris is playing a similar game a lot of the time and having a great deal of fun while he does it.

Now, he's doubtless a worthwhile dinner guest, though I think £50,000 is pushing it even for his company. Beef wellington with Boris, surely?
