Hi Edvard,

Okay, this comment is very late, I guess. You’re right. I liked this post too.

You say: “personally, I suspect him of being a lot cleverer than most people imagine.” You’re not the first to say that. But, where’s the evidence? I don’t get it. Why can’t he just BE cleverer if he IS cleverer? Or is it just “Nobody can be that stupid so he MUST be cleverer”?

Edvard,

I’m sorry I’ll write that again:

I’ve only just stumbled across your blog; hilarious and insightful to read about Brazilian’s take on England. I’m a Celt (so I’m told) or English (If I believe what it says in my passport) and live in splendid isolation in deepest, darkest Africa. Will be back for me.

Belated congratulations re the previous post and it’s subject! Truly hilarious…

So do these new events speed up or negate earlier deliberations you’d been musing on regarding putting down permanent roots either here or elsewhere??

Edvard,

Very funny.

And many congrats on your impending fatherhood news and on winning Post of the Week, which was well deserved. (I was shortlisted the week before, always the bridesmaid never etc).

I still remember the day Brainbox was born 13 years ago. It was the day when, as he popped out into the world, I immediately loved someone more than myself.

The best book I read about fatherhood was A Good Enough Dad by Nigel Planer (he of The Young Ones fame). He voiced many of my initial worries.

Anyway, good luck. You’ll make a great dad.

hi ani, welcome. is georgie boy as stupid as he appears to be? personally, I suspect him of being a lot cleverer than most people imagine.

Very clever, Mr. Moonke. However, I think we all know Georgie Boy wouldn’t use big people words such as ‘conflict’ and ‘gee’.

[OK, cheap shot, I know. But that is what we have been reduced to.]

that’s very sweet of you enidd, but this week I can’t be nominated for two reasons: 1) I’m last week’s winner and 2) I’m a guest judge.

that last line is a gem. nominated for post of the week.

little sausage: thanks. you mean, seriously tragic, of course.

lj: whenever re-reading something I wrote, I often wince too.

belle: welcome. I bet you and zinnia leave your favourite bit of food on your plates to be eaten last. am I right? I, on the other hand, scoff it first, lest I drop it on the floor before I get the chance to eat it.

zinnia: thank you.

clarissa: sorry to have depressed you. but fear not, in my next post I’ll be casting my eyes over the world through rose-tinted spectacles in a heart-warming tale of my relationship with fluffy animals.

jen: hi and welcome. depressingly depressing perhaps?

mr. x: hullo mr. x. does it count as politics? I’m not so sure…

Politics as well? My, my, we are branching out.
Good job it was up to your amusingly high standards, then
