  2. And another thing...

    Jeremy Clarkson finds the world a perplexing place. So much so, in fact, that he wrote a book about it. But despite the appearance of the bestselling "The World According To Clarkson", things don’t seem to have changed much. And so Jeremy’s having another go. In "And Another Thing", our exasperated hero discovers that: he inadvertently dropped a bomb on North Carolina; we’re all going to explode at the age of 62; Russians look bad in Speedos. But not as bad as Brits; no one should have to worry about being Bill Oddie’s long lost sister; cooking a Sunday Roast is one thing. Gravy is quite another; and, he should probably be nicer about David Beckham. But while these things play on his mind, the world remains Jeremy’s favourite place to be. On the whole, it’s brilliant. It’s just the idiots, meddlers and do-gooders who spoil it for the rest of us. Laugh-out-loud funny and as straight-talking as ever, Clarkson bursts their pointless little bubble, while celebrating the special things that we should hold dear. Sit back and enjoy as Jeremy puts the world to rights...

    Difficult and argumentative, Jeremy Clarkson is unafraid to express controversial views, making him both reviled and revered. In this volume, Clarkson’s sharpest criticisms are aimed at political correctness, positioning him as an unlikely champion for those who tread carefully with their opinions. His rants cover a wide array of topics, each more entertaining than the last, as he navigates the absurdities of modern life. Curious about societal quirks? This book offers a plethora of insights, from the merits of binge drinking to the challenges of drumming in middle age, and even the secret to eternal youth. Clarkson's take on America is particularly provocative, with observations sure to ignite debate. While one might wish for a short taxi ride with a driver like him, the allure of Clarkson’s writing lies in his articulate expression of both passions and pet peeves, often leaning towards the latter. Be warned: gifting this book may lead to endless readings of his witty commentary. While sharing a taxi with Clarkson might be daunting, immersing yourself in his words is a different experience altogether—and you might find yourself nodding in agreement.

    Crikey, the world according to Clarkson's been a funny old place of late . . . For a while, Jeremy could be found in his normal position as the tallest man on British television but, more recently, he appears to have been usurped by a pretend elephant. But on paper the real Jeremy remains at the helm. That's as it should be. For nearly thirty years he has been fearlessly leading the charge as one the best comic writers in the country. And in 2015, he shows no sign of slowing down. So, whether it's pondering: If Jesus might have been better off being born in New Zealand Why reflexive pronoun abuse is the worst thing in the world How Pam Ayres's head trumps Gordon Gecko's underpants Or what a television presenter with time on his hands gets up to Jeremy is still trying to make sense of all the big stuff. Circumstances change. Nothing's forever. But As I Was Saying provides glorious proof that Jeremy remains as funny, puzzled, excitable, outspoken, insightful and thought-provoking as ever. As if you ever doubted it . . . *** Praise for Clarkson: 'Brilliant... laugh-out-loud' Daily Telegraph 'Outrageously funny... will have you in stitches' Time Out 'Very funny . . . I cracked up laughing on the tube' Evening Standard

  7. If You'd Just Let Me Finish

    Well, someone's got to do it- in a world which simply will not see reason, Jeremy sets off on another quest to beat a path of sense through all the silliness and idiocy. Pithy and provocative, this is Clarkson at his best, taking issue with whatever nonsense gets in the way of his search for all that's worth celebrating. Why should we be forced to accept stuff that's a bit rubbish? Shouldn't things work? What doesn't someone care? It's a good thing we've still got Jeremy out there, still looking, without fear or favour, for the answers.
