Oops!
Depending on your point of view, I seem either to have stolen or
anticipated the title of Terry Wogan's forthcoming autobiography.
Should I sue, or brace myself for a writ from the old bog-trotter

wasn't intentional - I just think it encapsulates an amiable British
way of not revealing too much about one's well-being, while
leaving the door open for any sympathy that might be on offer.
Presumably, that was the impression that our Tel was aiming for too,
but if the lawyers call, I'll remind them that he's not even a native...
