The Life and Loves of a He Devil
The Life and Loves of a He Devil: A Memoir | Graham Norton
31 posts | 5 read | 8 to read
'I defy anyone not to snort, howl and recoil' The Sunday Times 'Full of wicked asides, tart observations and sharp remarks that could only have originated in Graham Norton's witty brain.' Terry Wogan Looking around the room I saw what life really was. It was made up of my passions. I saw my life reflected back at me. People I liked, people I loved, people I had shared half a century with. All the stories of my life were together in that one room and it made me very happy. Who wouldn't want a friend like Graham Norton? A little bit naughty, full of frank advice, bursting with gossip about the world's biggest stars - but most of all with an emphatic love of life and all its joys, big and small. Join him - glass of wine in hand, faithful doggy friend by your side - and delve in as he shares the loves of his life.

Another second hand #bookhaul These were finds at a local charity shop.

So far in my quest to read my shelves, I‘ve read 4 books I own, bought 19 more and been gifted 4. 😂😂 I think I‘m going to have to buy more shelves - that‘s the real answer!

Ruthiella The struggle is real! 😂 2y

#audiopuzzling on #caturday while banished to the basement with Covid - Kevin is a big helper. I‘ve dreamed of a retreat like this and yet, it‘s not that glamorous.

He even manages to end with some sage advice. This book was a true joy to read. I love Graham Norton, and reading this book made me love him even more. This book reads just like he talks. You can hear him telling every story in this book. I adored and enjoyed every minute of it.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics It‘s full of sage advice, usually at the same time as a really funny story that makes you literally laugh out loud so everyone around you looks at you like you‘re crazy. It‘s wonderful. I absolutely recommend this book. #GrahamNorton #TheLifeAndLovesOfAHeDevil #memoir 5y
laurieluna I have this book waiting to be read. This review has made me put it to the top of my tbr. 5y
GingerAntics @laurenbescoby some of the chapters are massively long (at least in ebook format), but it is worth the read. 5y

This is about what one would expect from him. Sure, I‘ll take a photo with you, but don‘t expect magic every time folks!

THIS!!! This may be a genetic memory (as I too am Irish) or it is simply that menus of this sort of total over thought (and that‘s coming from a confessed over thinker), but absolutely yes to this!!!

Even when telling about a horrific fall that ended in several cracked ribs, Graham finds a way to make it funny. What would life be without this man?!

@Texreader and @merelybookish both want me to play. I can‘t promise I‘ll remember all the days, but here goes nothing. #7days7covers #coverlove Day 1

Texreader Same. I missed today. I‘ll post day2 eventually! 5y
GingerAntics @Texreader I‘m thinking of posting day 2 right now. Technically I posted this one on Sunday and it‘s now Monday. lol 5y
Faibka Ha! Loved this cover and I want to read the book 😆 5y

GingerAntics @Faibka I‘ve read the first two chapters so far and it reads the way he talks. It is definitely worth the read. Sadly, I started several books and now I‘ve stalled on most of them while I figure out how to balance work and reading. Why isn‘t reading my job? How do I get that job? lol 5y
Faibka @GingerAntics I know what you mean 😞 I have so many books already started is hard to keep up, and I still want to do a Vonnegut buddy read 😩 or a Kafka 😉 5y
GingerAntics @Faibka oh I‘d do that!!! I wish my library actually carried Vonnegut or Kafka. I have to buy those usually. 5y

The next time some idiot rails against globalisation and global citizenship, about how it‘s ruining society, just remember 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 They are the exact reason why we need it. This has nothing to do with small towns and everything to do with isolationism.

Ericalambbrown I need to read this. I ❤️ Graham Norton. Stacked 📚 5y
GingerAntics @Ericalambbrown he‘s amazingly wise and sage-like in the chapter on Ireland (which this quote comes from). I‘m really enjoying the read. You can hear him telling all of these stories. 5y
Ericalambbrown @GingerAntics Excellent! I need to bump this up my TBR list 5y

So many great, wonderful, lovely quotes in this section of this book, I don‘t know what to do with myself.

I totally agree with this. What IS the rush? People will learn it soon enough. If the teen years aren‘t enough, I don‘t think anything is getting through, really.

Not book related but does anyone else love this as much as me? Graham Norton being sassy, the campness and the politics of voting! I love it all and wondered why this wasn't a part of the remain campaign 😉
Also China is no longer allowed to stream it as they cut a gay couple singing together during the semi finals, they do not mess about China! So night off in on my own tomorrow, getting drunk and having Eurovision fun! #Eurovision

Itchyfeetreader I adore Eurovision! I‘ll be getting a cheese plate and some wine and watching - probably with social media up to get the most of the snitty comments. 7y
Bronte_Chintz I love Eurovision! Going to a Eurovision getogether tomorrow. I‘m so excited! 7y
Weaponxgirl @Itchyfeetreader yes! I'm planning my Eurovision snacks to pick up on the way home myself! I'm only on here for social media unfortunately 7y

Weaponxgirl @Bronte_Chintz I'm so jealous! All my friends are working or busy. Have fun! 7y
Clare_Riley @Weaponxgirl Eurovision is my favourite!! I love the tackiness and the worse the songs are, the better!! My husband is away this weekend (doing a triathlon - uncannily well planned🙄), so I‘ll be sat with my wine on my own, kids in bed, singing along!!😆 7y
rockpools Yes! I actually watched the semi-finals this year and can confirm there's an acceptable quantity of bonkers in there. And I LOVE the predictable voting. Need to do a wine-and-snacks run in the morning though. 7y
Weaponxgirl @Clare_Riley yes! That sounds like an amazing way to watch it! I agree give me tacky and weird backing dancers. The suggestive milkmaid still makes me laugh from a while ago 7y
Weaponxgirl @RachelO I didn't watch the semifinals but yes on the bonkers. 7y
Clare_Riley @Weaponxgirl oh god, that milkmaid!!!😂😂 It was Poland‘s entry, wasn‘t it? That was hilarious!! 7y
Weaponxgirl @Clare_Riley I can't remember but I think your right! When people tell me they don't like Eurovision I now bring that up. Like cmon people how can you not like that 7y
Clare_Riley 😂😂 7y
Cinfhen This is totally NOT a US thing!! I only discovered Eurovision when I moved overseas!!! It‘s soooooo kitschy 🙄but it‘s hilarious and over the top in its cheesiness 7y
Weaponxgirl @Cinfhen it's one of our wonderful and strange traditions 😀 a 7y
Weaponxgirl @Cinfhen also we let Australia join, so random and wonderful 7y
Cinfhen I skipped the semi‘s so im cracking up over here, right now!!! Too funny 🤣🤣😂🤣 7y
Weaponxgirl @Cinfhen me too! That was a dress on the opera lady. Norway is so cheesy! Lmao 7y

Found this in a charity shop. It's like sitting down with a mate over a glass of wine and having a good natter. Really enjoyed it. Some bits made me laugh so much. I liked the bits about being in Ireland and his mum. Chapter on his dogs is brilliant.
