This introduction was written by Richard Smith himself. Don't forget that the first of his daily diary entries will be online from Monday 22nd October, which is perfect timing, because his diary begins at Christmas, and we all know Christmas is in October......Anyway, here it is, the first part of the book and this is the last you'll hear from me, over to you now Richard, introduce your book.
Introduction
This is my diary. I started it on Christmas Day last year. Someone thought it was funny and decided to publish the damned thing. I can’t see it myself but if you want to go and waste your money reading about my poxy life, then that’s your choice.
The publisher woman told me to write an introduction. Well, here it is:
It’s a diary, I wrote stuff in it, you’re now reading it. What more do you need to know? Nothing? Well turn the page then and delve into my private life, you nosey, good-for-nothing…...
Publisher’s Note
We have tried but Richard will not sit down and write a proper introduction. So that you have the basics, we feel we must interrupt your reading for a moment. Richard is a 45-year-old male. He lives with his wife Valerie near Liverpool in the UK.
