Finished this book this morning now going to share with you. (And don't roll your eyes, I see you)

One of my all time favorite entertainers, always makes me laugh and this book is no different.

The title of the book certainly is appropriate for the man in so many ways. The book takes us threw the thoughts, ramblings, musings and anecdotes of this family man and much loved entertainer and as you read it would explain a lot about his personality. As he explains in this book, this is not a biography, more of a things that have happened to me kind of book.

This book is laugh out loud from start to finish, even the last pages makes you carry on laughing. Well with a chapter like "I date-raped myself" and a chapter on his war with nits is bound to be funny and struck interest, I know I had to have the book when I saw the date-rape chapter, just had to find out. It's like sitting in his kitchen having a cuppa and the dog cleaning itself by our feet, just like having a conversation then a story book as most autobiographies are, highly enjoyable. Must of looked like a mad women sitting at Gatwick airport laughing my ass off. Only people who would sit with me were my family.

Anyway, this book takes us threw the musings and memories of childhood, growing up and becoming a father as well as making it in the business. The book is just as entertaining as the man. Thou I have to say I have never felt the need to strip and jump my optician when going for my bi-yearly examination.

Overall highly enjoyable. This book does delve pretty deeply in to sexual awakening, masturbation, sex and various names to call woman's appendages so not suitable for thous who aren't into explicit sex in books but you can jump the chapter as he does give warning. This book does not cover the Russell Brand Radio fiasco as this was released roughly the same time as this happened so don't expect any talk on that in this book. If your not keen on the guy then don't buy the book just to pick at every little thing as I know some do, saw a review and focused too much on the radio fiasco then the content of the book which is a shame and highly misleading. Leave the book for the little people fans like me.

I know what some of you are thinking 'Is she mad?" going from Jonathan Ross to a literary classic?

Simple answer. Yes.
Got the film "Jude" on DVD starring Christopher Eccleston and Kate Winslet (Yeah I know another Chris film but he is so yummy) And have been told it's better to read the book then see the film which is what I am doing. And I try to read the book that a film is based off of before seeing it for the most part, better that way I think as then you are not skipping parts of the book that the film left out just so you have something familiar to read about.

In Other News:
HIV campaign vid is still in post. Did a render off yesterday and needs some tweaking, got 13 days left to do it in.

I did purchase Autodesk Entertainment Creation suite off of eBay then the guy turned round and said it's a student license so told the guy no thanks today so a little pissed off about that as a student license is useless to me.

Hopefully seeing a house share in Peckham tomorrow and going to start nagging other agents too for the viewings I want.

Escape Studios are doing a animation competition, prize is a online course with them and a chance for some work experience at The Mill. Interested check 'em out. Escape are also on Twitter

That's all for now folks

See you in the Vortex.
