Diddly Squat: The No 1 Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

And yet while the farm may be called Diddly Squat for good reason, Jeremy soon begins to understand that it's worth a whole lot more to him than pounds, shillings and pence . . . So, being utterly and completely uninterested in cars*, I have obviously not a clue of who Jeremy Clarkson is and what makes him famous** Clarkson has showcased the passion, humour and personalities of the people who work throughout the year to grow the nation's food . . . and brought an understanding of many of the issues faced by farmers to the British public' National Farmers Union

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.Härra Clarkson annab kõigile lootust, et tee mis sa teed, aga huumor aitab igast jamast läbi. Ta on ühte aegu eeskuju ja samas täielik ristivastand sõnale "eeskuju". Pealehakkamist on vaja, püsivust ja aega. Welcome to Jeremy's farm. It's an idyllic spot, offering picturesque views across the Cotswolds, bustling hedgerows, woodlands and natural springs. Jeremy always liked the idea being a farmer. But, while he was barrelling around the world having more fun with cars than was entirely reasonable, it seemed obvious that the actual, you know, farming was much better left to someone else From buying the wrong tractor (Lamborghini, since you ask . . .) to formation combine harvesting, getting tied-up in knots of red tape to chasing viciously athletic cows, our hero soon learns that enthusiasm alone might not be enough.

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.Jeremy may never succeed in becoming master of his land, but, as he's discovering, the fun lies in the trying . . . 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.

Christmas Gifts

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. Pull on your wellies, grab your flat cap and join Jeremy Clarkson in this hilarious and fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the farm we're all obsessed with . . . Clarkson has done more for farmers in one series than Countryfile achieved in 30 years' James Rebanks, author of A Shepherd's Life

His sheep are trying to kill him. His pigs are re-enacting The Great Escape. He wants a chainsaw but he’s afraid of them, and he constantly worries that he’ll walk home some day with his severed arm in a bag. And, just like the series, the book is brilliant. There are laugh out loud moments, and then there’s the serious part. 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. He writes weekly columns for The Sunday Times and The Sun, but is better known for his role on the BBC television programme Top Gear.Endise Briti huumorisaate Top Gear juht otsustas pärast mitut pööret oma elus teha järgmise järsu kurvi ja hakata farmi pidama. Ta olla selle juba ammu ostnud, kuid selle eest hoolitseja otsustas minna pensionile ning selle asemel, et otsida uus sarnane ametimees, otsustas Clarkson asja ise käsile võtta. Eks aitas kaasa ka Covid-19, mis täpselt siis kõik 6 jala 7 pöidla ja 9 küüne pikkuste impeeriumi mõõduühikute kaugusele karantiini surus.
