Yes, Richie's a sweetie pie, very entertaining ranconteur. Perhaps not the most effective hotel manager, though... I don't know Paul Potter. You *sure* he didn't have his tongue in his cheek? Because "it doesn't matter who does it" sounds like a little dig, as if the whole thing were intended to make Richie laugh. Something about "the principle that came out day before yesterday" is just slightly twisted as well. > I also got a good chuckle from the description of Paul's realm.
