**The hilarious new collection of stories and observations from Jeremy
Clarkson - setting our off-kilter world to rights with thigh-slapping
wit once again
**
These days, you might know him better as a tractor-driving Gentleman
Farmer, but Jeremy Clarkson wasn't always a horny-handed son of the
soil.
Not at all . . .
Back in the day Jeremy was far more likely to be found gunning around
the world in a haze of burnt rubber and petrol fumes. But life as a
globe-trotting petrol-head also meant he was forced endure more than his
fair share of foolishness, frustration and downright bafflement. And,
while Jeremy may not a patient man, you have to ask why anyone should
have to consider issues as diverse and perplexing as:
-The downsides of relaxing in a bath of crude oil
-Why fishing is for people who hate their kids
-Whether there are noise-cancelling headphones with the power to silence
James May
-Why saving the planet means soggy paper straws and no more children
-What to do about the rambler who stole his marrow
But as puzzling and exasperating as life on the road often seemed to be,
you could always count on Jeremy to set the world to rights with a rare
wit and unique understanding. And at full throttle. Just don't expect it
to all go smoothly . . .
