    Heh heh, I can just imagine...
    "Dear Diary,
    Got up. Was miserable. Started writing modern classic. Went out with a big grumpy head on me. Managed to be polite to everyone I spoke to, but only barely. Got home, was miserable some more, finished writing modern classic. Put thesaurus away, went to bed. Fell asleep frowning.
    Yours in sulks,
    John xx"

    Ha ha rain on. :D
    It wasn't that bad, actually I like the guy. Surprisingly upbeat about life, plus he nailed Mc Ewan on that god awful book " Saturday". " The Sea " is a favourite of mine. Beautifully written. Has anyone read any of the Benjamin Black books?
