As it was you lost a weeks family booking, mai pen rai. Devious?? It takes one to know one:) What about those discounts you managed to get at LHR with your overweight Hamleys toys. You see, I have started the book already:) Once she turned up unexpectedly it was going to cost you money, one way or another.

She was a cracker though and if I was a single man I can assure you I would have employed another, totally different, yet equally cunning plan!!! Gus - you are smart and not a little devious then!

I have not started reading the book properly yet, but I couldn't help reading the story about Mr Stupid. Where you went wrong Kevin, you should have given TG 500, and told her to leave the area, if she did this she could come back after Mr Stupid had left town and you would give her another 1000. You could have charged Mr Stupid the extra for just being stupid.:) Yippee

He has published one book and his second is due our very soon. The cartoons are all based on hisexperiences here in Thailand. He and I are discussing a collaboration for my next book. Anyway, he gave me areal buzz today. He got a copy of my book and put it by his bedside. He was reading the autobigraphy of British comdeian Frank Skinner but decided just to take a look at the first few pages of my book. Skinner got dumped and he was awake until 05:00 reading Riff-Raffles from front to back! Today is a head in the clouds day for me! P.S. Sorry Frank - I still think you are very funny though!!

It is not sarcasm that strikes me. It is the wit. Wit transcends all nationalities. At least those inclined to recognize it... The turn of the word is that makes your humour magnificent. I am not big on sarcasm. I only saw honesty in your writings. Delightful! No, no, Kevin! It is not sarcasm that strikes me. It is the wit. Wit transcends all nationalities.

I am very grateful for your positive remarks and so pleased you enjoyed reading Riff-Raffles. The most perplexing thing for me is that I have received such an overwhelming repsonse from Americans. I am a Brit with that sarcastic sense of humour I have always been told does not translate on the opposite side of the pond. Either I misunderstand my own brand of humour or such humour does in fact have a place in the American culture these days! Whatever the reason may be I thank you and all of those who have contacted me over the last few months to comment on my work. Best Wishes, Kevin Daid I know we have now exchanged several e-mails recently but I want to thank you here on the Blog for taking the time and trouble to write to me.
