AIBU to be quietly pleased to learn that Adrian Chiles did not, as a poster here once alleged, get his job as a guardian columnist because he is married to the Guardian Editor?

I learned tonight he was already writing the column, she came in to tell him he'd made her laugh, and they ended up getting married. That's quite cute, no?

I quite enjoy his bumbling along musings and his lockdown soda bread recipe was a work of genius. I was a bit disappointed to think he was another example of media nepotism so I was pleased to read this today:

Adrian Chiles converted to Catholicism and took part in the Pilgrimage tv programme. I found him quite interesting. He’s confessed to drinking a lot very often and supports WBA. So quite a complex personality!

I think he is very open about issues with alcohol. He published a book called 'The Good Drinker' to document it.

He always looks like an Albert Bartlett Rooster potato to me.

Fi & Jane have a current podcast called ‘Off Air’. It’s fab!
