"We're short of manpower right now, James," said Moira after a quick glance round the room. "Artem has injured the left side of his neck from lifting Holly onto his shoulder. Pasha's gone to the Kings Road to buy the most reliable Janet Reger non-slip bra for Chelsee. Anton's checked into The London Clinic for an extended stay."
"We're one man short, " said Moira ruefully.
"
I shall partner Karen," said a blond visitor in the room, one with shocking hair (no not Robbie). He stood up, it was --
Boris Johnson.
"I am the only celeb who can afford lessons in Parsons Green." said Boris.
"I know when to advance, when to retreat. I can roar like a lion and coo like a dove. What more do you need to partner Karen? I out-talk Ann and out-manouvre Eggwina, what more do you need to partner Karen?" said Boris as the room warmed to the Mayor.
"However I have one condition. This tango shall move down the centre, but give the appearance of moving to the right, with an occasional nod to the left. At all times Karen shall give the impression I am leading," said Boris with first a smile then a sidesways toss of his head causing his hair to look like the MGM lion.
Moira felt her heart beating faster....
