Did anyone go for "takes pills for various real and suspected health complaints"?

He's right about trouser presses. I had to pretend mine was broken. 

This is sold gold

Tune in tomorrow for "sometimes the ring pull breaks on my tinned tuna". 

He's taking the piss. Must be.   

He's really thrown down the gauntlet to Robert Crampton. 

classic christmas space filler -  that said people would yawn if that was posted on rof so how it made it onto the pages of a national newspaper is curous.

Chiles seems to have staggering success with the banal.  He now seems to be making a fortune from the fact he used to drink quite a bit and now drinks a bit less - without the usual misery porn of drunken exploits/losing everything/waking up in a skip.     He has some sort of genius for making a success out of nothing that I cannot quite put my finger on. 

He’s a media whore, it’s hardly rocket science. 

True masters of the banal. Wogan was good. Very good. Liza Tarbuck too. It's quite an art.

Its true Bertha, but most people who have this sort of career have more natural wit than Chiles or at least some sort of USP, he really does make a career of being an amiable but very average bloke -  with no obvious talents - I cant think of anyone else quite the same.

Remarkable coincidence that he's married to The Guardian's editor.

He's probably not allowed to write about football and shagging. 

The Guardian could publish any random Christmas thread from rof and it would be considerably more entertaining

and it isn't just christmas space filler. 

there must be thousands of better writers out there who would kill for a fraction of his exposure. He doesn't even try to be interesting, funny, or have a smart take on something. 

He is a bellend

"My socks are getting threadbare, but I'm not ready to replace them"

wonder how much he makes for this dross

We can go to the moon – so why can’t we stop my glasses sliding down my nose? | Adrian Chiles | The Guardian

These all just parts of a tragic saga. Each piece builds on the others. We feel his pain.     

can we crowd fund sending Chiles to the moon?  The copy he'd return from there would be so dull it would end space exploration, and then maybe Musk would get around to curing Malaria.

So it seems that if you've got an interesting* fact, it's amusing just to blurt it out like you don't understand how conversation works.

Not a lot of people know that: I can’t help dropping juicy facts into conversations | Adrian Chiles | The Guardian

* not amusing, and entirely banal.

I may recommend he try a microwave burger for lunch and then write about it...

I think that's a very good idea.

I feel there'll be more to this shaggy dog tale. You just know he's setting this for the denouement in about six months time. A master storyteller.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jan/26/who-are-these-peo…

I can barely even express how much of a pe is he is

'I don't like sand' is a reference to the famous love scene in Star Wars Attack of the Clones. Adrian is Anakin. For Croatia read Tattooine. A poignant tribute of his heritage. As always with Chiles it passes

 momentarily like Japanese blossom. A brief glimpse into a visionary soul. 

"I considered stopping completely but, frankly, I enjoyed it too much". 

Extract from Chiles' new book. 

How to turn plot for disaster movie into flabby forgetful old geezer mislaid his keys: a masterclass in cool stories for bros.

Maybe he should cut down a bit. 

I quite enjoyed that one tbf

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/feb/08/age-has-caught-up…

I'm the same age as my day was ages ago. Oh, and my friend owned lots of t-shirts.

ffs. 

Heh. This is my burden Kimmy. Middle aged banal white bloke is targeted by ads for unfunny crap by Google analytics. Like the alt right asshole who scoffed at the Guardian for being seemingly woke, but having adverts for escort services on the site. 

Heh @ people worrying about Google analytics when the CCP is literally watching your every move. 

Not everybody finds him so banal, appaz:

“Someone paid me £500 to read out Chiles’ column in the Guardian while performing a sex act on myself. I thought at the time: ‘This is weird.’”

Heh

topical bump

Chiles's writing is no laughing matter 

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/01/id-love-to-laugh-…

That one is actually quite good

Has your face dropped on one side? Can you raise your arms? Etc. 

Still better than Giles Coren tbf

at least Chiles seems to know that he’s boring

Giles and Chiles - touring British seaside towns in a VW camper van. Coming to channel 5. 

Urgh 

will happen - Britain’s Favourite Service Station with Giles and Chiles

Have to say Cuiles' stock has go e up a lot after his appearance on meet the richardsons

Coren G is an boring tede - had to speak to him for a fundraiser thing I did I while back as a volunteer when I was 21

He spent 5 minutes telling me about how crap the food was at Keble (like I cared) and also random inappropriate things about his gf at the time 

not entirely surprised he has ended up in the anti woke brigade
