| Description | A collection of hilarious and compelling insights and anecdotes, diary entries, poems, �true� facts and cartoons on travel from Karl Pilkington, unlikely star of the Ricky Gervais Show, the world�s most successful podcast � now in paperback. This is the travel book for people who don�t particularly like travelling, it�s Karl Pilkington, star of The Ricky Gervais Podcast Show, with a suitcase, occasionally with his passport, more often with a bemused suspicion of anything vaguely exotic, and an observant eye for the disappointments, tedium, general weirdness and absurdities of being a tourist abroad and at home. From staring at Mount Vesuvius in case it erupts and the horrors of a Lanzarote nudist beach to the curiosities to be seen in the world�s weirdest museum. Told with his inimitable deadpan humour, Pilkington�s stories are interspersed with fond reflections on life back in England, from Salford joy riders to what his girlfriend�s mum and dad have for dinner on a Thursday (it�s chops and veg. in case you�re wondering). |
