Of course some people are grumpy and others are not. I think much of it has to do with upbringing. If, for example you were born in a smoke filled pub, reeking of unemptied ash trays and stale beer then obviously your outlook on life is going to be pretty jaded. Especially if you still smell like a stubbed out fag end.
I on the other hand feel on the top of the world. I had a really good day. Colinb whingeing about my kindnesses and saying that I had destroyed his perspectives for being a Telegraph guest blogger. I am truly, wholeheartedly, sincerely and honestly (or at least to the extent that those adjectives can apply to a Brit) sorry Colin. See where being kind can get you. Anyway it was an enjoyable read over the muesli.
On to visit a new customer. He is a police inspector. Offered me an aperitif at 11 am. A bit early, but it was in the line of duty. So we had a good chat about the difficulties of policing in today’s world. He said how difficult it is to be a patron (good man, will go far) Of course the Gare du nord incident came up. His wife is Malgache, so I then had a good reminisce about my time working in Antananarivo. Sitting by the pool eating gorgeous salads, the wonderful steaks, the visits to Nossé Baie and the scuba diving in the coral reefs. The journeys into the bush. Lovely people, lovely country.
Then to cap a nice day there is the news from Iran. Doesn’t Faye Turney look nice in her headscarf. Great improvement on the previous photos of her toting a machine gun. Apparently the British soldiers are refusing to go back to their barracks; they say the food is so much better in Iran as well as the medical treatment. Blair is of course furious. Looks like his term in government will finish up much like that of Carter. I smell humiliation on the horizon and it is most enjoyable. Hope the Iranians play their hand well, so far so good. You’ve been bad boys so Faye doesn’t get her freedom, beautiful.

Colin Berry has to blame someone. It could certainly never be due to any sin, omission or fault, including stultifying longwindedness, of his own.
Thanks for those few kind words, Richard. Started my day off with a laugh!
Why do you assume he had aspirations to be a guest blogger?
Somewhere in the depths of all the toing and froing of the last week, I think he actually admitted it - perhaps on Shane's blog.
Of course that creep wants to be a guest blogger. He's an English shopkeeper. He'll set up his stall whenever, wherever. He's sending 3 emails a day to Shane Richmond, begging. He has no dignity.
