Boris Johnson declares Wiff Waff is coming home

UCGnlgHCdAsCNeAdNRTbS4hg

From Beijing to London, London Mayor Boris Johnson heralds the coming of the 2012 Olympics stating: "Ping pong was invented on the dining tables of England in the 19th century and it was called wiff waff.

"There I think you have the essential difference between us and the rest of world.

"Other nations, the French, looked at a dining table and saw an opportunity to have dinner. We looked at a dining table and saw an opportunity to play wiff waff. That is why London is the sporting capital of the world."

He is the only man who could make a speech about Wiff Waff sound patriotic.

I wonder how much he drinks before such kind of speeches. No sober guy could come up with that kind speech. But maybe its just his strange personality.

@trekkie108 Yeah I do as well...one with a big picture of Boris's face on it. He should also record a song, 'Wiff Waff's coming home' with The Lightning Seeds.

they are the same game... all of which stem from wiff waff, which is of course English, hence 'ping pong' is quintessentially english and not Chinese. Your statement is almost as bad as calling apple pie american

Anyone catch his latest with Paxman, I hesitate to accuse you of ignoratio elenchi for the third time this interview, was a classic, whenever someone rips me for being Tory now, that one's coming out.
