Goodbye!
It’s all become clear… I’m wasting all this hard earned cash on a therapist.. When all I needed was some props from the movie “Big”.
Finding a new career idea!
I gave up smoking as of yesterday afternoon, I am pretty good at giving up… And giving up for a long time. This isn’t part of my ‘journey’… this is purely because my lungs really hurt and the doctor pretty much refuses to look at them when you are a smoker.
Can’t really bash my doctor though, he did put up with me freaking the fuck out on him last week when I...
I’m proud of this! It’s rude, its probably not going to help my career… But I have only just watched it edited and it made me smile… Me in NYC for RedTube… In a sex shop. WARNING… Under 18’s DON’T WATCH…. Over 18’s that get offended easily… don’t watch… Mum + Dad… Don’t watch… Don’t watch at work.

Where has this song gone?
Smoking Louie Spence
I was inspired this morning. I think Louie Spence is a fucking idiot, When I say think… replace the word with thought… Think makes the top of the blog sound more hard hitting. Never watched his show before on Sky, only seen him on chat shows etc… and he just annoyed the hell out of me, overly camp, can’t speak proper and comes across as a joke. I always tell people I cannot...

Forced to delete me?
Just going through my twitter before bedtime… Retweeting etc etc… and I thought this was really interesting from a guy that I knew a few years back when I worked at Capital.
“@allanlake I have to delete u. PR stunt or not, I cant be part of this. I truly wish u well and happiness in 2012. V sad m8. U no where I am”
I wasn’t sure how to take it, Because I thought I...
Merry Christmas
Had a wonderful day in the lake house. My brother said something which was funny “I’ve been reading your blog, it’s interesting reading”… Poor sod, he definitely thinks that I have gone insane. My 5 year old nephew also came out with a cracker, “Uncle Allan, why were you horrible to nanny the otherday”. I didn’t say “because I took some tablets...
I have ruined Christmas... For my Family
I was told to write this blog to keep track of my behaviour and breaking the cycle of destruction. And to be 100 % honest, I have no idea what to say right now.
I had a lovely party round my house for all the family on Thursday night, after everyone had gone…. I cleaned up with Big Ginger Lee and he left about 10pm. I’ve been having SERIOUS problems sleeping for 2/3 weeks now, I...
A message from Mario:
This guy works in the Adult Industry, but he has become on of my closest pals in the last year, He wrote this message today and I hope he doesn’t mind if i share, nothing more to say expect… WHAT A GUY! I love you Mario. Use this wisdom, I have:
Dear Allan, I read your blog today, I couldn’t play media tough, and I want to send you all my best wishes that you’ll manage...
Therapy starts today!
During the christmas party last night, I explain to Mummy Lake that I was going to be seeing a therapist twice a week, She was really pleased until… I told her about this blog and I was planning on posting all the recorded session on here, up-edited… She said, “but everyone will think they were right and you do have mental problems…” Mum, hate to break it to you, but...
savvysandhu asked: I know at tough times like these it's not easy to stay positive.. but believe me Allan there are a lot of people who are here and care about you.. just stay strong. :) Sav.
People's message!
Lots of people have emailed me on day one… here are some messages… I thought I best removed the names… Don’t wanna cause any trouble!
Allan,
I know you probably get hundreds of messages, especially at the moment, so I’ll keep it brief. I just started reading your blog and I think you’re really brave. You might not want to hear it because it’s hard to...
Anonymous asked: You were always my favourite radio dj. Mainly because you once told everyone I was really attractive whilst on the air, which seriously boosted my ego, haha. But also for many other reasons, you're hilarious and you always kept me entertained when I was up late at night. Everything will get better, you have yourself on the right track, putting your feelings out there like that takes a lot of...

Text from Sam
Just got a really nice text from Sam, a friend and collegue.
“Just to let you know, you’re not a dick. You can put yourself down for everything that has gone wrong, but you can’t say you haven’t been a good friend. There are still people that look up to you. Don’t forget that. X”
It was really sweet, it made me feel good, the problem with admitting you have a issue like this is you tend to...
What the hell is he doing now.
I’m Allan Lake, a british radio presenter who really is fucking good at what he does… Yeah… I am! Don’t ever think that its wrong to admit you are really awesome at something, sing your own praises… or don’t expect others to! But why am I unemployed? Why is this awesome radio host not actually on the radio? Why does everything that’s going good…...
