The Curious Columns of Adrian Chiles

Adrian Chiles's weekly column Guardian column has gained a cult following for his unique insights into everything from the present tense in history podcasts to his legendary at-home urinal. Chiles never misses. And his targets are the stuff of life, the everyday things we should all stop and think about a little more: favourite spoons, the correct duration of a hug, falling into a bed of wild garlic, or even discovering you have a naked doppleganger on OnlyFans. This bumper collection takes us on a brilliant, bemused tour of British life, delivering offbeat, comforting blasts of truth, humour and warmth.

'I've occasionally been asked why it is that I need to go for a drink before watching the Albion play. I've always answered with something lame, along the lines of, "You wanna try watching us sober" ... where does this urge come from? I've raced off to games hours early to give me a chance to drink a lot of beer in a relatively short time ... the craic is good, usually. Sometimes it isn't, Occasionally it's all rather boring. But I always make the effort. Why? Well..'The popular broadcaster and columnist sets out to discover the unsung pleasures of drinking in moderation.The recommended alcohol limit is 14 units a week.

Presenting Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley

Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley are the most popular presenting team on British TV today, and with their new role as hosts of ITV's Daybreak, the revamped GMTV, it looks like their stars are continuing to rise. Chiles had been fronting BBC's The One Show since it was first aired in 2006, but when Bleakley joined the following year it quickly became clear that they were a magical combination. For almost three years they thrilled audiences and, with their easy banter and laid-back style, they made The One Show a firm favourite in the early evening schedule. This fascinating biography studies the careers of the presenters -- from Bleakley's childhood in Northern Ireland and first job in radio, to Chiles' rise through the ranks, presenting Working Lunch, The Apprentice: You're Fired! and Match of the Day 2. It examines what exactly it is that makes them what can only be described as a dream team.

'A really great read, fascinating, moving' Adrian Chiles The End to End record is the longest place-to-place cycling record in Britain. It is a daunting 842 miles and for the men and women who attempt to break the record, there can be no second place, only the binary outcome of total success or failure. Paul Jones decided to ride from Land's End to John O' Groats to try to understand the relentless physical and mental challenges involved. End to End is a captivating and beautifully written narrative. A lyrical account of the journey sits alongside meetings with amazing cyclists; people like Eileen Sheridan; who covered the distance in under three days in 1954, or current men's record holder ...
