About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Get the kettle on, the biscuits out and settle in for a belting listen.
Paddy McGuinness is a much-loved presence on British TV. His stand-up tours sell out across the country. His acting roles are legendary, from Phoenix Nights and Max and Paddy to The Keith and Paddy Picture Show.
How did all start? Let Paddy take you back to a two-up, two-down terrace in 1970s Bolton, where his lifey began. He grew up alone with his beloved mum, neighbourhood matriarch Pat, who worked two jobs, as a barmaid and a cleaner, always keeping food on the table at home and almost always keeping her tearaway teen out of trouble.
The road from kipping in abandoned cars with his mates in Bolton to racing supercars on Top Gear has been eventful, with multiple turning points, including formative hard graft as a labourer, running a Viagra racket at a health centre, a showbiz intervention by schoolfriend Peter Kay and eye-popping adventures in the world of teledom.
While he may have swapped cobbles in Bolton for red carpets in London, Paddy has always stayed true to his Lancashire roots, and here he tells his story for the first time, in his own unmistakable style. He lived it. He's written in. It's his lifey - fast-paced, funny and full of character, just like him.

Anyway I like biographies and thought I'd give it a go. I found myself quite liking him as a person, but I was not impressed at his idea of a fun time.
He really is very proud of his thieving from hotels, and his infantile practical jokes. It is almost as though he thinks that is perfectly OK, and normal, to steal and damage property, and then you see this obviously very nice caring man, who was devoted to his mum and people he worked with.
His "Jack the lad" attitude towards the women in his sex life is really quite alarming, I am amazed he didn't spend half his life in clinics being checked out for sexually transmitted diseases,. I am not a prude but he really discribes his sex life as random and indescriminant sex.
He is so arrogant. It is almost as though he is doing any female a favour by having sex with them. Not much of a message to send out there as a role model., but then it is this macho bravado of " if it moves and has a pulse then go for it, I'm doing them a favour, that makes him "one of the lads.
In conclusion I just want to shout, oh for goodness sake grow up.
schoolboy humour
