Brand: Let's move on from Sachsgate

Russell Brand says writing a book is 'tiring'

Russell Brand wants everyone to get over Sachsgate.

The funnyman and Jonathan Ross suffered a spectacular fall from grace when they left lewd messages on the answering machine of veteran actor Andrew Sachs, prompting a storm over their actions, but now he just wants to move onto a new chapter.

At a signing for his new book, My Booky Wook 2, at Waterstones in Edinburgh, Russell said: "I think we must have drawn a line now - I've done a tour on the Andrew Sachs issue, there's a chapter in the book about it, I've done some sculptures of it, a painting of it, I wrote a poem about it, I've had it tattooed on the back of my leg. I think now we can move on."

The comedian claimed writing the book, the follow-up to his first volume of memoirs, was "tiring".

"It's very very tiring to write a book - you get locked in a room, and no-one will let you out until you've written a book. I had to write 6,000 words a day and the person in charge of me wouldn't let me out until I'd done 6,000 words," he quipped.

"It was a very difficult time. I wrote some of it in Austria, some of it in Fairfield, Iowa in America, some of it in Tuscany and some of it in New York City - but all the time just imprisoned in a room."

Taurus:

No matter how stringently your loved ones warn you, that won't stop you pursuing a romantic interest. You're utterly captivated by someone who exudes warmth, charisma and drama. The two of you get along very well, but beware of the financial toll this relationship will take. The object of your affection likes expensive things. If you're not able to provide them with the luxuries they crave, there will be problems. Then again, you have the potential for being a good provider, so all may be well.More
