Having been so busy with our trip to Ireland last week I only got round to opening the little pile of trade newspapers that had piled up over the last two weeks on Saturday morning.
So imagine my glee on finding the week before last's PR Week with the story that goes "Ken will win but Boris winning PR War says PRCA" (Public Relations Consultants Association). Got that a bit wrong chaps.
Then in the following week PR Week's big story is "Boris to Slash London PR Jobs".
Wonder why?
Mind the PRCA didn't get it as wrong as as Call me Dave did.
Fades back to Tory HQ last year, Call me Dave and spin doctors are enjoying a glass of organic water and a tasty dolphin and radicchio wrap.
Call me Dave: "What can we do with that buffoon Boris Johnson, he is always getting in my way with his bicycle and outspoken ways"
"yes Leader and since he is the only member of the Tory Party with any pesonality or chracter left unpurged, a potential threat to your leadership when the electorate realise you are just as rubbish as Gordon Brooon."
"yes I know, but I had a wizard wheeze last night - lets put him up against newt boy as London Mayor!"
"Brilliant idea Leader, he will never win and then he will get cheesed off with politics and go back to making an arse of himself on the telly."
"Any of those rocket and Condor egg ciabattas left?"
Of course the first Boris initiative banning booze from public transport, has been a great success we never saw no one at all swigging wine from plastic glasses(sophisticated eh?) or necking Magners out of the bottle on the DLR when we came home from Greenwich.
