Update!
by admin on Oct.31, 2009, under Uncategorized
Hello!
Sorry it’s been so long - Jim changed the password for this blog and I’ve only just found out what it is.
So quick update, well I’ve been doing the rounds promoting the book which I’ve really enjoyed. Had a great time back at 6 Music on Shaun Keavney’s show - it was like going home. BBc London breakfast show was also very enjoyable. To be honest I had expected Paul Ross to be a bit of a tosspot but he couldn’t have been more lovely. Both him and Joanne Good were delightful. I hope to be going back there again sometime soon. Another highlight was doing an ISDN interview for BBC Humberside. Presenter Lara King is hilarious and definitely worth a listen. The person in the London studio where the interview was taking place was running late which was making me cross. When she finally came out of the studio, I was about to give her my best ‘you’ve pissed me right off you cow’ look, when I suddenly realised that the woman was actually Barbara Dickson. I’m ashamed to say that I got quite excited. My dad was a big fan of hers in the 80’s and I recall her providing the soundtrack to many a long journey down to Cornwall on family hoildays.
Actually all this radio stuff has really made me miss doing my own show. Perhaps I should start thinking about doing it again.
Have you got the book yet? What do you think?
Love you.

Night out

So just 4 more days and my book is out. Please buy it. It’s quite funny really

Last week i went out for a celebratory dinner with my editor, press officer and agent. It was fantastic. A proper, posh, French restaurant in Greek Street, London. I got drunker than I have in about 5 years! Such good fun and wonderful food. The wine list was the size of an encyclopedia and there was a bottle of wine on the menu that cost over 10k!!!! We didn’t order it. What kind of arse would spend that kind of money on booze? If I spent 10k on booze, I would bottle my wee wee afterwards. It would be the most expensive wee wee in the world.
I’m plugging the book on Heart FM brekkie show in Kent next week (used to be Invicta FM) which will be weird as its the place that I cut my teeth in radio presenting. And double weird - as one of my old friends Gemma Shepherd is now the brekkie co-presenter alongside James Hemming. Gemma and I used to hang out as teenagers when we spent a lot of time in dodgy pubs in Croydon. Can’t wait to see her again.
I’m also doing interviews with about 15 BBC regional stations on Friday morning, the BBC 6 Music brekkie show on Monday 12th October, BBC London Breakfast at some point and Richard Bacon’s show on Five Live.
So its all go, go, go.
Wish me luck!
