But Philipa, you were standing on his windpipe at the time, what do you expect him to say?

I am also absolutely anonymous – oh yeah!

Couldn’t agree more, Blue.

EK – I try not to

HG – I’m sure a non-Catholic doing Hail Marys would land me up in Hell.

C – You would never bad mouth anyone on your blog, would you?

MTG – nah

Mr Brown – that is a subterfuge too far for me. The reason I wound myself into such a pickle on this one is that usually my friends know my every movement, nano-success and major failure…

L+P – I think being right is more important than being popular. I wish the Tories thought the same thing.

A guardian reading friend asked me the other day why I was a fascist? I told him I like the uniform. Strangely enough he believed me and can picture me in jack-boots.

Huge nasty spitting rows when Elby and I have brought up politics with our Guardian reading friends. Now we never do it but allow ourselves a wry inward smile as they realise we were actually making sense and bring it up themselves. After one such blow out a friend reassuringly texted me that I was his “favorite Nazi”.

Funnily enough, even though people in RL know I blog, they have never had the curiosity to ask me for the address. Over the years I have become more relaxed about people seeing it although I wouldn’t like it to get confused with my professional profile

Blue Eyes, I feel a great empathy with you. Like you, I’m a private person. I’m usually the quite person in a group. I blog anonymously, and tell nobody. It is a secret, and I don’t want anyone to know. Not even my wife. (Though at least if she finds out, I know it will go no further.)

And so I dread being asked if I blog. I am pretty good at being evasive, but I won’t lie. Like Stan, I’m a Christian. Unlike Stan, I go beyond the 9th commandment and avoid white lies.

So far, so good. I’m thinking of starting a second blog so that if anyone asks me if I blog I can point to the anodyne one that has only two posts, both of which deal with the weather.

Machiavelli’s enthusiastic proclamation “You must be a great liar” endorsed the art of deception and self defence. Be a little more Machiavellian BE and disembarrass yourself

It could be worse. Someone mentioned my scribblings in front of the ex wife, cue quiet panic while I worried about whether I’d ever written anything hateful about her. I don’t think I have.
