Most pooterish Adrian Chiles column

A stunning piece. My wife's father passed two years ago, this story matches that one in many ways.

i think its all the better because there's still the odd hint of pooterishness

It'll be a bit jarring when next week he's back to how he folds his underpants or whatever...

that's kind of life though isn't it? you suffer some tragedy but the laundry still has to be done

That's a terrific articulation. My dad died at the same age as Chiles' father when I was in my late 40s, and this all seems tremendously familiar to me.
