29/3/2007 The Colin of Antibes has now commented on his blog 'that he is livid' at being proposed as a guest blogger on the Telegraph. Strange people these Brit's, I don't think we are going to manage any meeting of minds. Anyway with all his different colours, pictures and styles his blog looks like a kids bazaar.Or should that be a Neopolitan ice cream. No taste, no elegance.
28/3/2007 The incorrigible Colinb sent this post to the Telegraph:
"I see the incorrigible Richard of Orléans is still trying to use other people's blogs, in this case Shane Richmond's, as his kangaroo court.
Comment: I supported his attempt to become a guest blogger. I'm not sure I'll do that again
It's the same old story: trumped up charges, and 'R of O' acting as prosecution, judge and jury, all conveniently rolled into one.
Comment: This he pinched directly from one of my posts
It's easy to do that, Richard, when you hide behind a pseudonym, but unfair and irresponsible when your target blogs under his real name.
Comment:same old blah, blah blah. Nothing stops him calling himself Colin Of Antibes
Sorry, Richard, but I don't wish to participate in your warped little game. Kindly give it a rest, and do please stop misrepresenting the facts. For the record (sigh) I rarely comment on world politics, but can assure folk that I do not fit Richard's stereotype. I am broadly pro-EU, but anti-federalist and against Britain joining the single currency. I strongly opposed the Iraq war, believing that Saddam had no WMD to hide - that he was just playing cat-and-mouse with the inspectors, to wind up GWB/TB, and that bilateral US/UK action was premature and probably illegal.
Comment What I said was that his blogging would appeal to supporters of the Iraq war, I never said he supported it. So who is misrepresenting? It is Colinb straight up. I make the argument that he would appeal to the core beliefs of a significant segment of the Telegraph readership. Afterall a sound argument to support his cause. He turns it into a personal attack. Unbelievable narcissism.
Thank you Louise for correcting Richard on that absurd claim about no longer accepting comments. That is yet another instance of Richard misrepresenting the facts, just so he could work in his little joke about Stalin.
Comment:He has disabled the 'comment' facilty so in blogger jargon he does not accept 'comments' E-mails oblige the poster to disclose their address so it's clearly a different animal and hinders free speech.
I think this is the point to stop, but if anyone wants clarification on any of the matters raised here, by BT, 'R of O' or Louise then I shall be only too happy to oblige. (BTW, Louise, thank you for the clarification re emails)"
Comment having made a number of fallacious statements Mr Berry as usual, wants to stop.So anyway no more support from me for his guest blogger ambitions
Yes in order to win a big, big prize all you have to do is guess in which well known town or city you can find this restaurant.
In case of a tie, the tie breaker will be guessing what I consumed today in this restaurant. How long it took, how much I paid and what the lady behind the bar said to me.
Here's a clue.

It's the Crown Inn, Chiddingfold, shot from a different angle. You ate curry. It only took you 10 minutes because they couldn't find you a seat. You paid far too much. Which is why, when you offered her money, the lady behind the bar said, "That's not enough, dearie."
You ate assiette de crudités, cote de porc et nouilles, mousse au chocolat maison washed down with a quart of house red and a coffee. When you tried to pay with a ticket restaurant (which they don't accept) la patronne called the police who wheel clamped your bike which was badly parked on the forecourt.
Chateau de Meung
Louise, sharp as a Swiss army knife, wins it on the location. It is Meung and that is one of my favourite lunch time hang outs.
But loses it on the tie breaker. I ate apple tart and a coffee. The lady said 'non' when I asked her to make me a quick omlette since I was out of time. I finished up buying a meat pie at the nearby butcher and eating it in the restaurant.
The prize will be carried forward to the next round.
Quite rapid, wasn't I? But you see, the Loire Valley is one of my old stamping grounds! My favourite chateau is Talcy...
I have to admit I haven't visted Talcy. It's not far away I will go there and take a pic.
Well, I was too late for that one...the castle looks wonderful. I've never visited that part of France but it's been one of my ambitions since I saw a series about the Châteaux de la Loire on the telly - back in the days when I had a telly. So, a very long time ago.
Did you mean 'un quart' of red, Louise, or an English 'quart' (which is just over a litre, I think!) A quart would be a bit much on top of all that chocolate mousse - especially at lunchtime...
I meant ' un quart' Gigi - but perhaps Richard drinks quarts, that I don't know.
Richard - I'm very sorry but we are not allowed to comment on Colin b's blogging ground, and as mere mortels we must under no circumstances blog on the Telly which is his 'chasse privé' especially as he is off to London in a couple of weeks to chat up Shane and Ceri and the rest. I hope he will plant a lot of trees to replace his carbon footprint.
I posted a reply to Shane Richmond's blog but it hasn't gone up. I don't know if it means I was too late to be moderated tonight or whether they've killed it. It was fairly innocuous; simply pointed out some of the things you've pinpointed here.
Wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall at THAT meeting, Louise? Or, better still, after the meeting.
Go for the English quart, Gigi. You don't have to drink it all at once. But do have a glass or two with your chocolate mousse.
I actually thought it would have been quite fun to go to the Telly open evening - nice to see the bloggers for real etc. However the flights are ridiculously expensive as it is the Easter holidays, plus driving to Geneva, plus a hotel in London (can't bowl up to friends at midnight and sneak out at 6am) and I prefer going to the Auvergne to see my family!
I won't be going to the blog-fest either. I'm sure Colinb will tell all when he gets back.
Has ColinR forgotten the name of his cat?
I guess the moderators must be keeping bankers' hours these days. My post was up this morning. And the debate continues. But as I've just pointed out there, HWMNBN no longer seems to be denying he was RCMP.
