First introduced to him by my Pop who read Trainspotting and recommended to me (prior to the film), loved it, dark, gritty and altho fictional, you can totally imagine this type of thing happening in Scotland.

I've just finished 'Bedroom secrets' altho funny and funked up, not as good as Trainspotting/Porno in my eyes.

Tried to read Glue, but just couldn't get into it properly (think it's cause I had a massive copy!)

Saw Marabou Stork Nightmares in the Theatre and it was ace everyone in tears laughing, then wham hits you with the disturbing gang bit...the whole theatre just silence - nae nice scene, but again these things happen, so why not have your eyes open to it?

Still to read If you love... and Crime...might go look for that now!

Heads up for Irvine Welsh fans, he's made a "mockumentary" set in the world of darts, and it's on ITV 4 this Saturday at 11pm.

I always look forward to new IW material, although his last TV show "Wedding Belles" was fairly disappointing IMO.

Was that Irvine Welsh I remember watching it, didn't think it was too bad, quite amusing!

I shall keep an eye out for that.. oh no can't out Sat, maybe catch-up on-line

Been revisiting Welsh recently, well Trainspotting, Porno and Acid House...all courtesy of MCCABE. All excellent, especially porno, sick as fuck in places.....bloody marvelous

No time for reading but the audio books are excellent (save Trainspotting which is ruined by passages from Welsh himself....disappointing!!) Tam Dean Burn nails them so good though....

Really want to get skagboys but at £26 on audible it will have to wait....dubious about a prequel aswell as porno feels too much like a sequel for seqeuls sake, and essentially same story in the end.....seems unlikely they will ever make a film out of porno but what about skagboys?
