Synopsis

Why is catalogue shopping responsible for Jonathan Ross's inimitable sense of style? Why might wearing cape and mask be a fast track to heaven? Why does Jonathan wince every time he sees a Hoover? And why did he fall in love with a deep-sea diver? Why? Because this is Jonathan Ross. And nothing is out of bounds when it comes to talking about life as he knows it. From sex and pugs to rock 'n' roll and genital warts, Jonathan holds forth as only he can. This sharply observed, laugh-out-loud, outrageous page-turner will leave you asking just one question ...Why didn't he write it sooner?

From the Back Cover

"I have been asked to speak on subjects as diverse as British sausages and boy scouts, and sit on panels focusing on gardening, the Olympics and wind farming. Clearly I have no expertise in any of these areas, and with the exception of the sausages, very little interest either. But that is not to say that I don t enjoy holding ill-informed opinions on matters of great importance.Even when every sensible bone in my body tells me to shut up "
