I have formed the opinion that Iain Dale's Diary is a bog standard blog...

Who is this "Iain Dale" of whom you speak?

IAF: Good question. He blows his own trumpethere. I would say, that it is something of a bum note I am hearing. He thinks it's music to my ears. But, he can be foolish. He admits this. It's important to have someone around who can tell me I'm being a fool. Because sometimes I am. I think its important too, and I tell him in my own way what I think of his foolish ways. His problem is, and he admits it, that he's temperamental. There is more, from the same source, "Iain is the showman. He can be very hotheaded. It's not just that he speaks before he thinks - he shouts loud before he thinks. If anyone isn't familiar with his ways, he can come across as rude. If he has a temper tantrum the staff get edgy, but it's over in five minutes".

Now that I have taken the time to find out about Iain Dale and what makes him tick. Perhaps, he can extend the same courtesy to me?
