What was in Cummings little box?

Laughed to see him exiting Downing Street with his box , like an employee escorted off. I reckon he had his favourite mug , Far Side calendar, picture of Che Guerez , cactus plant and a bobble head of Boris. Any other ideas ?

Maybe if it was a stunt box it had a stunt pineapple in it.
That and a signed photo of Benedict Cumberbatch being him.

True fact: a crazy friend of mine sent a clicker to 10 Downing St from amazon addressed to Boris and tweeted about it. Sadly it was turned away Grin

It wasn’t empty. It’s actually quite difficult, even for trained actors, to pretend something empty is heavy:

If you watch the videos carefully, you can see that the box has weight and there is something white through the hand space. Clearly he has nicked a few packets of printer paper on his way out.

Leaving with a cardboard box, arriving home with a bottle of champagne. He must have allowed these photo ops for a reason as there was no need for him to leave so publicly.
I'm sure we haven't seen the last of him.

KingscoteStaff · 14/11/2020 08:48

You’ve got to admire the attention to detail that after he’d dumped the box somewhere, he got champagne in a SEE THROUGH BAG for his next photo op.

I think he's just got a weird sense of humour and is having fun.

Considering his office is not even at no 10... maybe BJ returned all his gifts?

Witchcraftandhokum · 14/11/2020 09:10

His soul. The devil returned it.

GrumblyMumblyisnotJumbly · 14/11/2020 09:47

His dignity? Lost in the Rose Garden in May and he’s been looking for it since then?

WeAreTheWeirdosMister · 14/11/2020 09:51

Definitely his horcrux's, don't want to leave them lying around.

GrumblyMumblyisnotJumbly · 14/11/2020 09:58

Yeah, that's my feeling too, unfortunately. It was probably a map to a secret route to the back door of Number Ten.

One thing established this year is that he definitely enters Boris’s back door!

Absolutely this 😂

That box actually looks quite heavy- all the secrets - or just trying to make out he's leaving with all the secrets and it's just a few packs of blank a4

YoniAndGuy · 14/11/2020 10:53

All his silly 90s long-sleeved t-shirts (white with coloured sleeves) so he can carry on pretending Blur are still in the charts, he’s still just down from Oxford and sneering his way around Horton like the Bright Young Thing he still imagines himself to be.

Honestly his dress sense is one of the most revealing things about him. It’s always 1997 in the Cummings wardrobe, and he still has alllll his hair.

Some rocks to weigh it down and a lipstick-smeared photo of Laura Kuenssberg in a see-through nightie with ‘call me’ scrawled in the corner.

Voodoo doll of Carrie?

GettingUntrapped · 14/11/2020 11:12

@Newjez Can you elaborate on that, that Carrie isn't very big...
She was big for a while, then she wasn't. What about now?

PrincessForADay · 14/11/2020 11:24

Came here to say Boris balls but it's been said already

MarinPrime · 14/11/2020 11:26

The boring answer is that he hasn't actually left yet. He's working his notice from home and the box will be full of paperwork.

PrincessForADay · 14/11/2020 11:26

A hard drive of BoJo's secrets & some super-injunctions

tenlittlecygnets · 14/11/2020 11:28

Nothing. It was all a photo op. He could have chosen to leave via the back door but no, he went for the full paparazzi op 🙄🙄
