"Celtic & Me - Confessions from the Jungle" is the funny, original story of Dominik Diamond's very public life as a Celtic supporter. Shockingly, he started out as a Rangers fan but later realised the error of his ways and controversially changed allegiance. His outspoken views on Rangers have made him more than a little unpopular on one side of Glasgow. In "Celtic & Me", find out what part he played in Martin O'Neill becoming Celtic manager. Why Seville was so awful. Why he was banned from Celtic TV. Which old firm manager is best at pub trivia machines. Which Rangers legend made Dominik weep with his kindness and which one threatened to out him on live TV for being a teenage Rangers fan. And what happened the night he was threatened outside a Glasgow kebab shop. From sickening bigotry to the joy he felt at being part of the Celtic family, "Celtic & Me" is the story of a man who refused to shut up and the price you pay when you do that as an Old Firm fan with a well-known face.
Frankie's outrageous, laugh-out loud, cynical rant on life as he knows it is presented here in all its outrageous glory. 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, nothing is out of bounds. Outspoken, cynical, and always outrageous, Frankie Boyle, the dark heart ofMock the Week, says the unsayable as only he can. From the TV programs he would like to see made (“Celebrities On Acid On Ice—just likeCelebrities Dancing On Ice, but with an opening sequence where Graham Norton hoses the celebrities down with liquid LSD”), to his native Scotland and the Mayor of London, nothing and no one is safe from Frankie's fearless, sharp-tongued assault. Sharply observed and full of taboo-busting, we-really-shouldn't-be-laughing-at-this humor,My Shit Life So Farshows why Frankie Boyle really is the blackest man in show business. Frankie Boyle is a popular television personality.
