don't know why this show has to get a bimbo in to merely read out the phone number and contact details etc, Just seems a waste of money to pay a bimbo a salary just to read that out when he could just do it himself, but hey channel 5's money to waste not like its the BBC and it would be taxpayers money
just been travelling for 8 month, my old man stuck Glue in my bag. I never read any irvine welsh before. By time i came back id read porno, masterchefs, glue, crime, ecstacy. i love this guy. Begbie and juice terry have me in stitches.
Went to edingburgh to see irvine read from reheated cabbage, shit hot. Went to the book signing after it, stole the book and got him to sign it, hope he doesnt mind!
he is one of the best writer's of all time deep and meaningful books and not afraid too confront any social issues no matter how disturbing the books are a page turning sick sence of humor
I struggle with reading most of the time but this man's material makes me laugh out loud. Wish there was more like him (or would appreciate any tips).
i think you really have to enjoy trainspotting, porno, and glue together. i read them in that order but looking back i might have chosen to do it trainspotting, glue, porno. when you start seeing the characters from the different books interacting in unlikely ways its really entertaining stuff. the whole edinburgh world he created is finely detailed, and there's nothing else that compares.
welsh l;ooks like he's having chemo or has waxed his head. hope hes okay.
