    I don't find this weird -- I think it's good for people to have quirky hobbies. It's the only time I've ever felt that Boris Johnson was a human being rather than some sort of escapee from Monty Python's Upper Class Twit of the Year contest.https://twitter.com/brianklaas/status/1143504207640715265 …

    This is truly weird. Boris Johnson, likely the next Prime Minister of the UK, gets asked what he likes to do in his free time, to relax. Watch what he says...it's so bizarre that it's mesmerizing. Via @talkRADIO pic.twitter.com/aXp5hmCMVg

        I'm pretty sure painting bus passengers on creates was the tie-break for Upper Class Twit

        The point is Jeet, that it is a lie, in fact within seconds of him saying it someone on his staff was quickly arranging someone to rapidly start making model buses just in case someone asks to see them, the man is incapable of telling the truth

        It might be less bizarre if he didn’t sound exactly like a man who is desperately trying to fabricate a hobby on the spot and doing it one word at a time.

        I think the strangeness is how he presented the whole thing.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        It's not the quirkiness of the hobby that's strange, so much as it's Johnson's sheer inarticulacy when it comes to describing it. Most people can say what they like doing in their spare time pretty easily. This just sounds like his bullshitting...again.
