Big Year for Pad. SNL (UK, but still a big deal), a bunch of awards (hate bringing them up), and plenty of bit-parts (Everyone Else Burns, Mitchell and Webb Are Not Helping) to boot. But what’s it all about? He’s fallen in love more times than you’ve had hot dinners and he’s fumbled every single one of them. Some of these baddies have had him winning staring competitions with the ceiling. But he doesn’t even think about that shit anymore. 

You’re born alone, you die alone.  That’s true enough. But what happened to that part in the middle?

Paddy said: Some of my ideas are so funny that they scare me, so GOD knows how you lot are gonna feel !! There’s a love story or two in here but it ain’t heavy. It’s nice! I’m SICK of the London / Edinburgh intelligentsia being the only ones allowed to dip their snout in the trough of my thoughts, i want the pigs in the provinces to hear what i’ve got to say! I’m FROM the provinces! But will not be playing in my hometown. They ungrateful. Anyway i’ll see you there XXX
