A really fun read.

[a:Jeremy Clarkson|52112|Jeremy Clarkson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1242313622p2/52112.jpg]'s sense of humour is blunt, practical and politically incorrect.

To be honest, it would have most people of my generation screaming from the top of a hill that he needs to be cancelled, but (in the most hilarious way) he just doesn't care.

Unexpectedly, I learnt a lot about agricultural rules and restrictions, and how my pursuit for a cheap weekly shop has the farmers of this country hating my guts.

His political commentary and cultural references are the perfect balance of insightful and hilarious.

Absolutely loved it.

vabandust, aga mulle Clarksoni farmiseriaal hirmsasti meeldis; ja Clarkson ise, kes enne üldse ei meeldinud, muutus seeläbi kõvasti sümpaatsemaks. nii läheb, kui üks mees lihtsalt ausalt tunnistab, et ta ei saa absoluutselt aru, mida ta teeb, ja et tema obsessioon suurte kallite traktorite ja ekskavaatorite suhtes ei ole kellegi jaoks hästi lõppenud. mõned lambad ja mesilased sinna juurde ei tee ka üldse paha.

see audioraamat pole muidugi mingi õige raamat, vaid Clarkson loeb lihtsalt ette oma Timesi kolumne sellest ajaperioodist, ja osasid neist olen lausa enne lugema sattunud. aga mitte kõiki, pluss audioversiooni on ta vürtsitanud mõnede lisakommentaaridega, mida ma eestikeelset paberversiooni poes lapates trükis küll ei näinud. näiteks üks paremaid kolumne, kus ta üsna veenvalt ära tõestas, et kogu Ühendkuningriigi maa tuleks anda rikkuritele a la Sting, kes saaksid seal looduslikku mitmekesisust hoida ja orgaanilist toitu kasvatada, ilma muretsemata, et see ära ei tasu - sellele oli ta audios nii ette kui taha lisanud kommentaari, et see on erakordselt idiootlik idee ja ta ei saa aru, kuidas ta midagi sellist üldse kirja sai panna.

ühesõnaga, nii Jeremy Clarkson kui talupidamine kui üdini britilik self-deprecation on täiega omandatud maitse ja ma ei saa midagi ette heita kellelegi, kellele ei meeldi, aga mulle isiklikult meeldib.

Very political, and sometimes uninformed, but still a good look into the farm beyond the show.

Just as I expected, Jeremy telling us about his farming adventures and misfortunes with the eloquence that represents him with the added witty humour.

I’m not always keen on him, but his higher level humour is something that keeps me coming back, and this book did not disappoint, other than the fact that it was too short I have nothing to complain about.

I got what I was looking for, stories told in a way that would make me laugh out loud.
