Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" is about a bloke in a wheelchair and that


Oh the fun stuff around here just never ends.

Here's the bald, round-headed Manc genius explaining why he thinks Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight is about "this crippled fellow in a wheelchair".

From the 5th episode of the 4th season of The Ricky Gervais Show on XFM, which aired on June 25th 2005.

(mp3) Ricky Gervais & Karl Pilkington discuss the meaning of Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight
Song available on Slowhand (1977)

What's this now, is Metal Bastard turning into orange-headed Manc-loving Bastard? Or... something clevererer along those lines...

Not that I object. I'm going through the "Guide To..." series right now.
I keep thinking that Karl Pilkington can't be real, it must be an actor hired by Ricky, and all those shows must've been scripted, considering they always have me (and Ricky) choking on laughter at the end. But no, only a bonafide idiot could come up with all that lovely bullshit.


"Susksgph"? Word verification? Pretty sure that's not an actual word.

Susksgph sounds like a word Karl would use. Hey, he invented "glunge" - susksgph is not far off.

I myself am currently working my way through the three Karl Pilkington books (Happyslapped By A Jellyfish, Karlogy and The World Of Karl Pilkington) and they too good to believe.
