As a devoted fan of HIGNFY, this gave me the biggest laugh of the week. By just reading that post I've learned two things: The citizens of London have a very dark sense of humor and this solely will keep HIGNFY on til at least the end of his tenure. To provide context, here are 6 of his appearances.

Enjoy and feel sorry for London.*
*Boris Johnson will be following in the footsteps of frequent HIGNFY guest and former Lord Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone.
