Adrian Chiles's Weekly 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 doppelgänger on OnlyFans.

This bumper collection takes us on a brilliant, bemused tour of British life, delivering offbeat, comforting blasts of truth, humour and warmth.

“The nation’s only truly good columnist” – Imogen West-Knights, Slate
