Clarkson's article, if you haven't seen it. Cheers you up a bit.


The phrases "worth reading" and "by Jeremy Clarkson" do not belong in
the same sentence.

Have you actually read any of his work?

Yes I have, thank you.

Really? I have no sense of humour because I fail to appreciate the
burblings of a hack writer whose work cynically panders to the lowest
common denominator?

Clarkson's books and columns amply demonstrate that he wouldn't
recognise genuine wit if it sat on his face. The fact that you're
engaging in such a spirited defence of such a ****-poor excuse for a
writer strongly suggests that neither, unfortunately, would you.

I actually doubt you've done any extensive reading of Clarkson's writing
given that you appear to hate him so much.

Then you would be wrong (and I don't "hate" him - he's not worth the
effort), a state with which I imagine you are *quite* familiar.

Clarkson's column in CAR 15ish years ago was far more entertaining than any
of his recent output - since he started to believe his own hype - and yet
still came a poor second to the other regular columnists (Bulgin,
Llewellyn, Bishop) and contributors (Cropley et al)

worth reading.
