Description
Book SynopsisEver since being brought up by The Beatles, Frankie Boyle has been a tremendous liar. Join him on his adventures with his chum Clangy The Brass Boy and laugh as he doesn't accidentally kill a student nurse when a party gets out of hand.I don''t think anyone can have written an autobiography without at some point thinking Why would anyone want to know this shit? I''ve always read them thinking I don''t want to know where Steve Tyler grew up, just tell me how many groupies he f**ked!''So begins Frankie''s outrageous, laugh-out loud, cynical rant on life as he knows it. From growing up in Pollockshaws, Glasgow (it was an aching cement void, a slap in the face to Childhood, and for the family it was a step up''), to his rampant teenage sex drive (in those days if you glimpsed a nipple on T.V. it was like porn Christmas''), and first job working in a mental hospital (''where most evenings were spent persuading an old man in his pants not to eat a family sized block of cheese''), nothing is
