Not that I expect you to reveal what that “something” is on here (not much point in keeping it quiet, then, is there? And I’m sure you have your reasons for doing so.) But my curiosity is aroused nonetheless……..<br /><br />Err, what you actually said was <i>“They know what I am,”</i> not <i>“they know who I am.”</i> Curiouser and curiouser, said Alice! Or am I reading a bit too much into that statement? God, Leggy, you know how to keep a girl in suspense, don’t you?<br /><br />And as for this: <i>“They cannot hurt my feelings. I have none.”</i> Don’t believe it. If you had no feelings you wouldn’t get angry about stolen children, or biased reporting, or unfair laws, or courts of justice which dish out nothing of the sort, or the smoking ban (at a far greater than just self-interested level), or alcohol restrictions (ditto). Your concerns would only then be how those restrictions affected you (if they did so) and you wouldn’t give a jot to the principles behind them or about any of the ones which didn’t affect you personally.<br /><br />And besides, it would completely destroy my image of you as the warm, cuddly, defender of human liberties and saviour of the human race which I have been nurturing for so long …………..<br /><br />Congratulations on the book, by the way.

Sometimes far too much whisky.<br /><br /><i>Or do you just have Narcissistic Personality Disorder?</i><br /><br />No, not that one. I don't have the face for it. The 'condition' ascribed to me, although I don't see it as any kind of disability, is the same one you could ascribe to every Righteous and every jobsworth out there. I can be cold and heartless and unfeeling. I choose not to be. Unless provoked. I lose no sleep over the antismokers I have terrified with imaginary cancer. <br /><br />Perhaps you mean the 'they know who I am' comment?<br /><br />They know who you are too. The Coagulation is continuing the Gorgon's plan to record all internet traffic. All of it. Every visit to every site. Even this one.<br /><br />So do you really think you are anonymous? I know I'm not. Besides, if anyone wanted to work out who is likely to be most troublesome in political blog land, it's not hard. It doesn't need super-technical prowess. There's no need to track down every blog individually.<br /><br />Just go over to Total Politics and look at the list.<br /><br /><i>Either way seek help.</i><br /><br />No thanks. I'm strange in the head and I don't want it fixed. If I wasn't a little bit deranged, I'd never come up with the weird stories. I'd have to write for the Guardian instead.Leg-ironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932361799889315359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-70703881538110017122010-10-22T15:16:17.163+01:002010-10-22T15:16:17.163+01:00Thanks for the support.

I did e mail them once but the latest book is still full of errors so make sure your books are proof read. After reading your blog posts it's not likely that you will make spelling mistakes but they will definitely appear at the printers. Print off one copy and read it yourself before continuing with the printing. There's nothing worse than getting engrossed in a good book then being brought back to reality by a glaring typo error.<br />And of course it makes you look a tit as people presume you can't spell despite it not being your fault.<br /><br />here's Glenmill publishings website..<br /><br />http://www.thecull.com/index.htmproof readernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-47645823723863175882010-10-22T11:53:35.351+01:002010-10-22T11:53:35.351+01:00Can't wait!
