He did have sex with that Chelsea fella's wife.

His One Show co-host Christine Bleakley/Lampard wasn't it, ITV poached her at the same time IIRC.

This bit of wiki trivia tickled me:

His mum's actually Croatian iirc.

I've always found it amusing to refer to him as Voodoo Chiles, though that really upsets my mum as she once saw him at her church.

I'm thinking of trying to popularise the phrase "Putting in the Adrian Chiles" which denotes a laborious effort, not necessarily done well, but routine and diligent all the same.

He could be a Simon Munnery commentariat character, the antithesis of Alan Parker, and also his columns feel like they exist between unfunny comedy and shit art... not sure the last part is intentional though.

In his dreams.

I wish I was Adrian Chiles. People say to me, you'll NEVER be Adrian Chiles, but people probably said that to Adrian Chiles and look at him now.

It's only a decade or so until this forum is going to be as banal as his columns.

Mate have you been over to the wimblewrong thread today?

I'm just saying none of us are getting any younger.

I beleive he's made it into the Viz Profanisaurus, as in I've got a nasty case of the Adrians

I texted his Five Live show a few weeks ago when he was talking about landline phones and he read my anecdote out. So there we go.

That documentary about booze he did a few years ago, which was trailed as revealing the hidden problems of the middle-aged, middle-class drinker: I thought, "ooh that could be me", so watched it and found out, no, I'm fine: Chiles drinks like a fucking fish  - pub after work every day then a bottle of wine in the evening, four pints with his mates before a mid-day kick-off, then more afterwards - no big deal, apparently. No wonder he always looks so shit. Then Frank Skinner pops up to say as long as  you're not having Pernod for breakfast you're golden.

Made me feel a whole lot better, which I don't think was the intention.

Yes, his columns seem uninteresting and entirely unworthy of publishing (let alone in a national newspaper).

I wonder who he is married to.

PlanktonSideburns

Voodo Chiles (slight return)

Well I'm standing next to a laptop
I type a column that's pretty bland

I remember really late at night on Channel 4 they used to show LAPD Blue and had no adverts in between, maybe it's like that, can't give the space away for nothing but need to fill it with something.

Maybe they should've just used a big picture of Sippowicz.

I'd be happy to churn out 500 words for them if the money was right.

Sebastian Cobb

I'm not convinced they're paying him. CiF costs them fuck all.

In regards to clubbing he isn't wrong. I suppose a broken clock is right twice a day.
Nightclubs are full of ugly people dancing badly. Most of them manage to have a good time and a lot of them pull regardless.

Nightclubs are fucking ace and I can't wait to get back to them.

Pity Jonathan Ross bucked the trend isn't it?

Did he, though? His chat show doesn't get the same level of guests that his BBC replacement's show does. Sure he gets to be a panellist on Big Fat Quizes and Masked Whatevers, but once upon a time he'd have been presenting these shows.

Sebastian Cobb

He's not ceasing to exist, and for the avoidance of doubt I do mean that in the literal sense, so it's just not good enough really.

I don't want him dead, I want him to not exist.

One day he won't be asked on Big Fat Quiz of the Year, and the sudden lack of relevance will cause him to wink out of existence. Be patient.
