If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

That was a negative and, right now, I need two positives. You know, one to cancel out the negative and another so I can.. have a positive.

You really need to hear Partridge narrate Nomad for full effect.....Alan recuperating in the swimming pool after the end of his "Footsteps of My Father" walk.

"My foot is still very swollen and the wound hasn’t fully closed up. I know this calls for a verruca sock but the foot is far too swollen to fit one, so I’ve opened up three hot water bottles using a pair of scissors and, with the help of gaffer tape, I’ve clad my foot in the bottles rubber pelt to create a hardy, if quite heavy, verruca boot.

I lower myself into the water and slosh around for a while, letting the warm water lap at my back, flank and tits. And then I hear: ‘Morning.’

My blood runs cold. I recognise that voice. It’s my swimming nemesis, Dawn. I don’t deign to reply. Indeed, I rarely deign much at all. Guess I’m not much of a deigner. Instead I seethe at her silently.

‘You’ve got a welly on.’

For a terrible, terrible, terrible split second, I convince myself that ‘welly on’ is pensioner slang for an erection. I surreptitiously paw at my Speedos to flatten the boner, but there is none, and then I realise she’s referring to my improvised footwear."

Anyone done the AP quiz that Geordie Michael does? Think it's been on in Liverpool a couple of times.

My mates are opening a second bar in (Halifax) town soon and has managed to get him on;

http://www.seetickets.com/event/knowing-me-knowing-alan-alan-partridge-quiz/the-lantern-halifax/1140229

Can't wait!

Well, that was absolutely brilliant. He's an incredibly funny bloke.

15 teams - came 2nd, got 67/82. Winners got 72, third place got in the 50's.

Won a medium sized Tobelerone. Had a chat with him about footy. Turns out he's a blue. I'll try upload a pic later...

 I'm loving Nomad. Just casually reading a chapter here and there in my time off and keep laughing out loud, which I don't often do with written word.
I love Dawn, his swimming nemesis.
Also loved what he said about Lynn - she puts her arm up when she wants to make a bid on eBay.

"My assistant". Never named as Lynn once!

Also from Nomad:

"Yes, just as I changed into a different Alan Partridge through the use of a cool new hairdo, so it was that change almost led to tragedy - although mercifully no one was hurt (with the exception of Michael, who died). I guess you could say that change is the theme of this chapter.

As Sheryl Crow once squawked: 'A change........would do you good. I think a change....would do you good. Oh, I think a change....would do you good.

And change can do good. But only if managed correctly. Change is one of the most powerful forces known to science - be it small change like a caterpillar getting changed in a chrysalis, to large change like a menopausal woman.

Yep, change is hard to resist. But whether you believe in evolution or revolution (or devolution), you can't go in blunder-handed. Because badly managed change, OK, can blow up in your face.

Pause

I should point out that these opening paragraphs were lifted directly from a TED talk I wrote, but was not subsequently required to give."

Reminder: Alan Partridge: Why, When, Where, How and Whom?  is on tonight at 9.00 on BBC 2

Quote
It has been a quarter of a century since a little-known sports reporter was given his own radio chat show by the BBC. Two radio series, five TV series, four specials, two books and one movie later, AlanPartridge has an unrivalled place in the comedy pantheon. To celebrate Alan's return to his rightful home at the BBC in 2018, this retrospective documentary looks back at his journey from broadcaster caricature to the award-winning study of complexity and pathos that he has become.

We hear from the man behind the man himself, Steve Coogan, as well as the acclaimed team that created him 25 years ago. That cohort of writers and performers would become some of the most celebrated and distinctive comic voices of their generation - Armando Iannucci, Patrick Marber, Peter Baynham, Rebecca Front, David Schneider and Doon Mackichan. Through interviews and a wealth of never-before-seen archive footage, including improv sessions, rehearsals and unseen outtakes, a light is shone on the genesis of the character.

New BBC One series coming later this year... and the premise is basically Alan being given the chance to step in and host The One Show.
