Why would I? I hate the boring twat, and I have a lot to read which, personally, I'll find a bit more edifying - I've just finished an excellent biography of the Rolling Stones, preceded by the Gunter Grass' Tin Drum (in German), now I'm onto an old but fascinating history of Europe during the Middle Ages - I don't mean to sound snobby but fast cars, xenophobia plus "Grumpy Old Men"-type stuff is just not really my thing.Commander said:
It's not a political thing either: right-wing American neocon PJ O'Rourke is one of my favourite writers, the bloke's hilarious.

I bet JC's "Born to be Riled" will be right up your street though MoH.
Go on, you know you want to.

"Fast cars are GREAT, aren't they? Public transport is shit and for poor people. Why can't you open a milk carton without spilling it anymore? Healthy and bloody safety, that's why.

Can I have an advance please?

It's just that you were basically saying his book would be shit, when all the people on this thread who have read it have said it is great.
Personally, I haven't read it, so I cant comment.
Bit like I cant comment on how the Albion played against Boston.

Of course - I imagine there's a whole world of difference between his on-screen and his literary persona. He's appealing to two very different constituencies there, no doubt.Commander said:

pillock. Of the highest order. I avoid him at all costs so have no idea what his book is like.

Then I put it to you that the 'excellent biography of the Rolling Stones' that you have just read, was shit.

During the 13 November 2005 episode, a news segment featuring BMW's Mini Concept from the Tokyo Motor Show showcased what fellow-presenter Richard Hammond quoted as a "quintessentially British" integrated tea set. Clarkson responded by mocking that the German designed-and-owned Mini Cooper should be fitted with "a quintessentially German sat-nav that only goes to Poland"
In October 1998, Hyundai cars complained to the BBC about what they described as "bigoted and racist" comments he made at the Birmingham Motor Show, where he was reported as saying that the people working on the Hyundai stand had "eaten a dog" (due to the fact that Koreans are known for their consumption of dog meat)
In September 2005, Clarkson wrote an editorial for The Sun, criticising Americans after the Hurricane Katrina rescue response, and included the comment: "Most Americans barely have the brains to walk on their back legs". He has also said on Top Gear when comparing a rural British village with a rural American village that "[in rural America, the town] would be full of people doing… whatever it is they do. Incest, mostly"
In the Sunday Times on June 2, 2002, he joked that he had spent the day hunting rats using tennis racquets and croquet mallets. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals issued a warning to him as a result of this comment. During a guest appearance on QI, screened on November 11, 2005, he said that seal flipper tastes "exactly like licking a hot Turkish urinal". He also ate whale (which he said tastes like steak but with an iron tang), covered in grated puffin. He said, "The waiter asked if I wanted some grated puffin on my whale and how do you say no to something like that?"
He also joked that Paul McCartney has offered a date to a woman who used her prosthetic leg to fend off a rottweiler, in relation to his failed marriage to Heather Mills.
