Is Boris spinning us a line?

Boris and the Borismen - 1980's New Romantic Swing Orchestra
1) Sebastian Grigg, (2) David Cameron, (3) Ralph Perry-Robinson, (4) Ewen Fergusson, (5) Matthew Benson, (6) Sebastian James, (7) Jonathan Ford, (8) Boris Johnson, (9) Harry Eastwood

Just happened to take a peek at Boris Johnson's website. Now I know he's an old fuddy duddy Tory and I'm a punk rocker, but hey I'm a couple of years older than him and his latest blog just doesn't ring true.

Do you think he could, shall we say, be embellishing events slightly. Can anyone believe that Boris really was on holiday, with a group of friends, watching "For Your Eye's Only" with Roger Moore, when a friend asked them to pause it as their 11 year old might see something untoward (other than one of the worst Bond movies)?

I doubt my eleven year old would even watch it. She'd get bored after 5 minutes and start playing on the Nintendo DS or complain and get us to plug in the Wii.

I'm sorry but the situation Boris describes just doesn't ring true to someone with kids of that age. I notice that the article originally appeared in the Telegraph. Do you think he thought he could get away with it with their bunch of geriatric readers?
