Message & Quote January 2005

Now then how the devil are yer, Paddy here with a very long over due message and quote.

Firstly HAPPY NEW YEAR to your good self's, it's good to be back.
I've had problem after problem with my PC (memo to ones self, don't give credit card details to webcam sluts on heat.com again) but now I've got myself a new one it's business as usual.

The lads gutted because I had lots and lots of behind the scenes pictures from Max n Paddy stored on my old PC which are now lost, especially the one of Ste (Mr Nice Guy) Edge, Archie Kelly, Toby Foster and Justin Moorhouse all stood bollock naked with only a cricket box to hide their modesty, believe me it was a belter.

The series has been on and thank the Lord it was well received, bit of a task following Phoenix Nights.
The first episode had mixed reviews, 90% fantastic and the other 10% look warm (Ian Hyland is a bummer) but as Pete and myself already knew it would get bigger and better each week.
Thanks to everyone who've been stopping me in the street to say how much they loved the series, when you've wrote something your self that's one hell of a complement. I even got stopped by folk in big old London saying how much they've enjoyed the new series which for me was a tad surreal.
The viewing figures have been beautiful especially when you look at Phoenix Nights, a little block of gold but at the height of it's powers got 2.3 million viewers, it was the DVD that made it a big hit with people. Our first episode got 3.8 million viewers and on a bad week 2.9 million (we were up against Children In Need so no love lost there) and then on a good week 5 million of you little blighters tuned in to watch so from the pit of my soul can I just thank you all and give you a big kiss (for the males reading this, not in a gay way).

The Jumping On The Bandwagon tour bowed out in style at the Blackpool Opera House, Max and Paddy's Road To Nowhere as finished although they're still showing repeats on E4 and now Christmas is over it's onwards and upwards into the new year. I'm still trying to get through some of the DVD's my mates bought me for Chrimmy, Vol 1 & 2 of Seinfeld, Bo Selecta Vol 3 (still p*ss funny if you skip past the Avid Merrion bits), Raining Stones, Riff Raff, a couple of the Eastwoods westerns and Kung-Fu Masters Live. Let me tell you folks there's nowt better than watching a couple of Chinese blokes breaking baseball bats on each others knackers for an hour on Christmas Day whilst eating your left over Turkey on sandwiches all washed down with a cup of the finest PG tips, magical. Less we not forget the mint Matchsticks.

Well what next for Patrick McGuinness in 2005, the answer is I've not got a clue but you'll be the first to know if I'm touring or doing any other TV work or if back on the bins.
Also those of you who are reading this and have been trying to e mail me well you know no why I've not repied, no computer for a month and I've also lost everyone's e mail address's. If you want me to get in touch just send um in to Gavin and he'll make sure that I get them. Oh yes I also lost my mobile to, not a good month really.

Thanks to everyone who sends fan mail and asks for pics, I do get them done eventually. I've still got some here that I need to send out but I'm getting some new pics to. Has well as Lord Love Rocket and my moody black and white pic i'll be getting some printed from Max and Paddy which I'll put on the site in the next week or so. Just pick the one you like, I'll autograph it and get it off to yer a.s.a.p.

Before I go just a quick note to say good luck to Dave Spikey. Dead Man Weds starts this week and with a great cast as well as the mighty Janice connolly I'm sure it'll do really well.

Here's to a good New Year.

Paddy
