• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Adrian Chiles's weekly column for the Guardian has gained a cult following for his unique insights into everything from the present tense in history podcasts to his favourite spoon, or his legendary at-home urinal. As Gawker put it, 'Adrian Chiles never misses.' And his targets are the stuff of life: the everyday things we all need to stop and think about a little more.

The Curious Columns of Adrian Chiles finds Britain's much-loved broadcaster musing on the sacred and the profane, the whimsical and the bizarre, offering his idiosyncratic take on self-checkouts, speeding tickets and the correct duration of a hug, falling into a bed of wild garlic, and discovering he has a naked doppelgänger on OnlyFans. In this brilliant bumper collection, he takes us on a bright, bemused tour of British life, delivering offbeat truths and a comforting blast of humour and warmth for baffling times.
