The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

I can't help feeling his book is going to be the most boring read since the satanic verses. What has he done? Joined Top Shop radio at 16, moved on to a few local stations and joined radio 1 at 23 where he's been ever since. Add to that a brief failed tv career and a fling with a kids tv "personality" nobody has heard of since it's not exactly going to be quite as big a seller as say the da vinci code. I woudn't mind so much if it wasn't for all the shameless plugging on his show. Its not just Chris there are several others. People should get a life before they decide to write about it.

For fans of the show I expect it will be great. I get the impression its not so much an autobiography, but a mixture of behind the scenes stories from the show through the years.

After all, no one is forcing you to read it are they?

Lighten up.

I am looking forward to it, I am sure it won't be anything other than Chris Doing what he does best. ie talking about himslef whilst ripping it out of everyone else.

What would qualify in your book as "having a life " Does Jade qualify.... All she did was get abused, get fat, get a stupid accent etc, Rooney ? All he did was get injured, get fit, get sent off, or are only worthwhile people worthy, Richard Branson, the bloke who commentated the Grand Prix, John Thaw ( Now there is an interesting read...... ) :-)

The only reason for writing the book is too make money, saying he is unworthy because he has only had one Job seems not to make sence to me, I have been in the same job practiclaly since leaving School............... well maybe you do have a point !

Id rather read his book than read one you wrote.

What the hell have you ever done except complain on a fansite?

Most peoples lives are intresting if you delve deep enough. The book will sell according to his celebrity status and I suspect it will mostly be aimed at fans of his giving a somewhat deeper understanding of the man. It's a way of making money and who doesn't want to do that?

His sense of humour cracks me up. From the very first "Goooood Morrnin'", I'm grinning like an idiot.

I can't wait. I don't care what he's talking about.. In fact, the more trivial the better, since it'll be more of his own mind wandering than trying to 'please' people by namedropping and stuff...

The point of the book is it should tell us stuff about his personal life and get to know him better.
