This is Alan. Alan Partridge.

I'll be using the 'Facebook' to promote my 'Lifebook' (autobiography). But it's also a bit of fun! If this page helps just one person give up drugs or cut out anti-social behaviour, great.

Feeling all pumped. A 2000m run, a fresh egg sandwich and a really good wash.

Re last post. 'm' was metres, not miles. Thank you.

I don't know what you people mean when you say 'amazeballs'. I don't want to know what you mean.

Rather than using infantile words to impress your friends, why not educate yourself by reading my book (having bought it first)?

Less able readers can listen me talking about it here

Does anyone want to be 'poked'? Fancy a 'poke' anyone? I got that from Jez Clarkson. He writes it to anyone who 'friends' him on Facebook and then he does a smiley face so it's absolutely clear that 'poke' is a euphemism for intercourse.

Can't decide if I prefer the hardback, paperback, Kindle or audio version of my forthcoming book - I, Partridge: We Need To Talk About Alan.

Buy my autobiography from Play.com, and get a copy of my driving licence as a free gift. This was their idea, the photo is invalid and some of the details are wrong.

Funny how we all abhor rioters and murderers and war criminals, yet no-one says anything about people illegally recording my book readings – which is EQUALLY in breach of the law. So I'm calling an amnesty. If you took camera phone footage or a photo at these events (like this idiot: bit.ly/YTAPBS ) submit it here and no further action will be taken. Fail to do so and reap the consequences.
THIS IS NOT A TRAP.

When writing my autobiography, 'I, Partridge: We Need To Talk About Alan', I also compiled a suggested soundtrack of songs to play at key moments in the book. Someone I've never heard of has created a 'Spofity playlist' of the songs in question. You can find it here:

Play it today! All day!

NB - You'll notice that two songs – Mamunia by Wings and Pipes of Peace by Paul McCartney – are missing, presumably because Lord McCartney won't allow Spofity to use them.  Now, I'm not asking you to mount a campaign to make the famous bass guitarist change his mind, but if you do decide to put pressure on him (by, for example, chaining yourselves to the railings outside his house), I can't exactly stop you, can I?

The autobook of my audiobiography is at NUMBER 1 in the iTunes chart. In second place? Mr Steve Jobs.

When I found out I'd beaten the world's greatest living dead man to the number one spot on iTunes, I punched the air. But in a very respectful way. And I have to say, for me to breeze into iTunes and topple the very man who invented it in his own backyard is actually quite brave. (Incidentally, as an nod of respect I suggested changing the I of the title to an i so it would be iPartridge. But it's a legal hornet's nest.) Out of respect for us both, please buy I, Partridge straight away from iTunes:

Big up, dudies!

Really looking forward to the two book signings that I am contractually-obliged to do this week. WARNING: There'll be quite a long wait time so I urge you to bring snacks. That said, anyone attempting to eat strongly-odoured foods within the stores will be removed and, ideally, shoved from the entrance.

Say what you want about me, but I will not sign books with stinks entering my nose. No-one - repeat NO-ONE - effs with my olfactory system.

It has been brought to my attention that some officially-sanctioned boffins have created an I, Partridge App or an IPA (my acronym). 
And at 69p it's really not bad value. Personally I'd have priced it at a quid but my lawyers said it wasn't worth fighting over. 
Grab it here while stocks last. etc.

After requests far too numbersome to count, I have decided to chronicle my life through pieces of still photography, plus captions.

10 kilometres, 20, 30! Here you can see me eating up the ground on a static exercise cycle. 40 kilometres, 50, 60! I'm throwing my weight behind a campaign to encourage cycling among fat kids. 70 kilometres, 80, 90! This was quality public-service radio but also compelling TV, thanks to the studio webcams I'd suggested we install. 100 kilometres, 200, 300! (No one knows how far I cycled that day. What we do know is that the campaign itself ran into funding difficulties and was discontinued later that month.)

This is yours truly with Sidekick Simon. He is a genuine original and an unbelievably funny man but lost his job on Mid-Morning Matters because he basically has an attitude problem. Also, many webcam viewers said they didn't like his beard - and I agree. It's too wispy and not a good colour. In this picture we're pulling funny faces, which was my idea. These impromptu moments of goofing around were an almost hourly occurrence before things turned sour. After I sacked him he threatened to take me to an industrial tribunal. But I put a big Jiffy bag of dog dirt through his letter box and he soon backed off!

Here I am at the North Norfolk Digital desk. I'm not actually on air; it's just a publicity shot. I keep a few autographed copies in the glove box at all times, in case I get accosted by a fan or need to bribe a bent copper. At the time of writing, I haven't needed to use them for either. I did once get stopped by a fan at some traffic lights but I just drove off.
