Worüber sich dieser "Philosoph des kleinen Mannes" so alles den Kopf zerbricht, ist schon amüsant, regt aber auch dazu an, sich über Alltäglichkeiten selbst einmal seine eigenen Gedanken zu machen!

Without this, the book could seem poorly written.

She gave me the jabs and said I was covered for every worst-case scenario, including being bitten by a dirty chimp. I told her this is why we have over-population problems. Why are idiots who annoy dirty chimps being protected?”

Gervais set up Risk Productions along with Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington to make the second series following the success of the first Mentorn Media-produced series. On 23 November 2010, while appearing live on Richard Bacon's Radio 5 Live afternoon show, Gervais surprised Pilkington with an on-air phone call.
