The king Adrian Chiles explains how that column happened. (You know the one.)
. They’re sort of about nothing. When people on Twitter say I’m “the greatest writer in the English language,” obviously it’s either a complete pisstake or lightly ironic.But look, I used to do a lot of television. Big programs, and if somebody stopped me in the street and said, “I saw you on the telly last night.” Well, that’s nice, but it’s a big team effort and 10 million people are going to watch a football match, whoever’s presenting it.
I’m getting to feeling joy by the end of them, when I realize I’ve pulled it off for another week, which always feels like a miracle. And it’s a real privilege to do it. I mean, I got a wife out of it. I wrote a column about bending over and how it’s a lot of effort the older you get, and Kath [Katharine Viner, the editor in chief of the Guardian] thought it was really funny, so she asked me to come in for a chat. And that was that. Not long after, we ended up getting married.
Yeah, you’re right. That must have been done before, daft hairdresser names. But they are quite good, generally quite funny. My wife’s favourite one is in Hackney and it’s called It’ll Grow Back, which I think is brilliant.
