“The Elephant Man would never have gotten up and gone, ‘Oh, God. Look at me hair today.’” - Karl Pilkington

Just finished reading "An Idiot Abroad" by Karl Pilkington, for those who havn't heard of the man (or his legendary quotes) , he's a former radio producer who worked with Ricky Gervais (of Office Fame) and Stephen Merchant (of Office fame also) when they presented their XFM radio show. Ever since then the trio have become best friends, with Ricky calling Karl, "The funniest man alive in Britain today".
           This book is based on the diaries of the trip Karl made for Sky television visiting the Seven Wonders of the World, giving his own unique view of the sites. I can thoroughly recommend both the book and the tv series (now on DVD). I'll just finish up by giving you some more choice quotes from the man himself.
