Day Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 Just went to buy the book and came across a couple of his books, just bought this Happyslapped by a Jellyfish which is written by him... 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). http://www.amazon.co.uk/Happyslapped-Jellyfish-words-Karl-Pilkington/dp/1405332999/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1285275953&sr=1-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GboroRam Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I think he'll grate after time. Loads of great opportunities to see things and do things you'll never have a chance to do, but just whines about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Karl's funny. The programme is great. But, do we need Gervais roaring with his silly laugh at every little thing. It's like him telling us when something should be laughed at. Don't like Ricky, Steven and Karl are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than some old drag queen and that pair of children, reeves and mortimer Completely agree. The Office, Extras, Fame, Politics and Animals were awesome. But when he hit Hollywood the fame got to his head. Btw none of this Karl Pilkington stuff is at all funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
