Product Information

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.

According to the book summary, readers can expect to be regaled with more outlandish schemes from Diddly Squat Farm – the sheep are gone, to be replaced with pigs and ‘psychopathic’ goats ­– while the cows have been joined by a bull named Break-Heart Maestro.Forgotten the title or the author of a book? Our BookSleuth is specially designed for you. Visit BookSleuth I loved Clarkson's Farm it was hilarious and also showed how deadly serious farming is. The main problem with this book is that it's made up of Clarkson's newspaper columns. So if you've read those then you've read this already and if you haven't read them then reading them all in one go is weird. The repetition means constant deja vu, the references which may have been topical in a weekly column are lost here. Clarkson has done more for farmers in one series than Countryfile achieved in 30 years' James Rebanks, author of A Shepherd's Life Review What I most learned from this book, was that government decisions on the environment can have devastating effects, I had not heard of these examples. They came after major interference on what the author needed to do with a water supply for his crops.

Jeremy Clarkson takes us into the pitfalls (and pratfalls) of his new life as gentleman farmer in this thigh-slapping collection of stories from a year on Clarkson's Farm If you want a laugh, it's Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat: 'Til the Cows Come Home . . . The book will keep us going until the next TV series appears. Spectator

From a career as a local journalist in the north of England, he rose to public prominence as a presenter of the original format of Top Gear in 1988. Since the mid-1990s Clarkson has become a recognised public personality, regularly appearing on British television presenting his own shows and appearing as a guest on other shows. As well as motoring, Clarkson has produced programmes and books on subjects such as history and engineering. From 1998 to 2000 he also hosted his own chat show, Clarkson. Clarkson finds himself, like all farmers, up against the vagaries of the British weather. It’s too hot, it’s too cold. It’s too dry, it’s too wet. He battles red tape, new regulations, and the devastating damage Brexit has caused to farming. The Government, and the exhausting, continuous hard work just to try and make a living from the soil.

Diddly Squat Series by Jeremy Clarkson - Goodreads

An idyllic spot offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows and natural springs. Until one day, Jeremy decided he would do the farming itself.Jeremy's strong point is he is a fantastic writer, this book was originally columns in a Sunday newspaper, his weak point is, well he doesn't have one. 5 stars. Jolly good read. What an absolutely hilarious and often sobering look at the life of a farmer. The telling of the story over the course of a year is brilliant. It draws you in, and it's almost like you can hear Clarkson telling the story himself through the way it's written. 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. Ma arvan, et kõlab nagu paljude inimeste karjäär, sest kes ikka üsast välja potsatades kõike oskab. Pärast võid oma õppeprotsessist panna kirja vahva lugemise ning kui sa oled Jeremy Clarkson, siis see avaldatakse lausa paberi peal ajalehes. Kui sa oled suvaline minusugune, siis kirjutad sa selle internetti kuhugile digipapüürusele, et pakkuda vähemalt teistele oma kannatustest meelelahutust. Sest sarnaselt Top Geariga ei ole tegemist lugejat säästva õpetliku traktaadiga, vaid ikkagi ajaviitelugemisega Briti keerulisest olukorrast COVIDi ja Brexiti aegu. Igasugu UK viiteid on tõsiselt palju, mille kohta maakeelde tõlkija on kannatlikult pidanud iga lehekülje alla harimatutele eestlastele selgitusi viitama, mis võtavad Clarksoni hoogsal tekstil kahjuks tugevasti inertsi maha. this was much much better than i expected. it was educating, but funny and he used farming language, but it was still accessible. i think i’d have been bored reading this, but the audiobook was voiced by him & was very well done. it’s made me want to watch his show

His opinionated but humorous tongue-in-cheek writing and presenting style has often generated much public reaction to his viewpoints. His actions both privately and as a Top Gear presenter have also sometimes resulted in criticism from the media, politicians, pressure groups and the public. In one short comedic series, and book, Clarkson has done more to highlight the plight of farming in Britain today, and, as he says, he does this to earn 40p a day. He speaks of the high injury/death rate due to farm accidents and the terribly high rate of suicides in farming. And he speaks from the heart because, despite all the hardship—he knows that without his other income from TV shows he would have gone under a long time ago—he loves what he is doing.Also, when someone thinks it's an enviable knowledge to know this by heart (or even more when someone says cr*p like "I was able to test the new automatic because thankfully I was able to shift gears manually and I'm much better than any automation") this is what makes me simultaneously roll my eyes hard enough to lose balance, laugh so hard so I lose my breath and fall asleep from pure boredom. In short - it's not good for me.
