The first part was brilliant and very, very funny but it only went up to the late 70s, such is the sheer scope of the man's life.

ps, I'm, well aware that autobiographies, especially ones of gob****es from south london barely count as literature but I'm eating my crisps right now and the board's gone a little dead.

Also, what's going on with these paratroopers? Do they think the wildfowl are out to get them?

I saw two lads in their 50s fighting in a bar in Arnhem over an argument they had in 1979.

From the same manor too.

Mind you, I have a bit of a hero worship for Danny as he's a mothy working class boy who was too clever for his own good.

A great read, From sitting in the burning car to shrinking Marc Bolan's shirt and his days in South Molton street.
I think he should leave it there. The inevitable follow up can only be a downhill journey.

Or pen in this instance.

I wouldn't normally go out of my way to read the thoughts of a man who looks and sounds like a london cabbie and in this case i doubt i will make an exception.

i.e. a complete c**t.

I must admit my impression to probably not be fully informed, just on the Danny Baker who hung out of Chris Evans' bottom during those years when he (Evans) was unfeasibly and disturbingly popular.

Quite surprised how Jorge has taken him to heart.

Yeah, Morrissey's one and that were given to me at the same time. I started Mozza's, ready Baker's, came back to Mozza's, still struggled and have left it 90% finished.

He seems to very, very nearly end every anecdote with "Needless to say, I had the last laugh".

Either that or the availability of books in the north really is as bad as i have been led to believe :-)

It starts with the ridiculous and annoying theme tune and it gets worse after that. What a bunch of incoherent, dull and unfunny rubbish that is. Worst thing of it is that Danny himself clearly is very entertained and he thinks he has the divine ability to make this incoherent and dull stuff entertaining for others as well. Sadly he is wrong.

Nothing compared to the time he stormed off stage due to being pelted with bottles of piss.

Van Morrison once insisted on the bar at venues being closed during his performance.

Kate Bush recently asked (or banned) the audience from using phones at her gigs.

Black Francis walked off stage in Dublin recently as his guitar broke, the rest of the band followed. Clearly he only had one. Not even a Debaser played to the masses.

I went to see the Monochrome Set the other month. Everyone in there was over 40, and no f**ker was filluming it on their phones and/or constantly taking photos. You could actually see the band.

Amazing how many people use such devices at live events.

Of the 4 incidents named this is the least incendiary.

We had a couple at the cup final in front of us watching the match on iPads. Not young so perhaps their eye sight was utter ****e.
