Goodness, you could cut the sexual tension with a cricket stump.

Thanks for the kinds words about my book. It took a while to spot them, but made it all worthwhile when I did.

All the best,

Plenty of material for a new 'character' in this thread

Thoroughly enjoyable, (the book, not the sexual tension).

Oh hello. I liked the honesty with which you approached the end times. Particularly since you clearly like Jeremy a lot, you were not especially kind to him.

I enjoyed the book too and came here to see other view on the book. It was a shame that the thread was hijacked by a pair of assholes who don't have the emotional intelligence to realise what tts they were.

So, the Idiot Show is no more?

Thank God for that.

Perhaps the BBC might consider a show about Cars, rather than stupidity and Egos.

Have to quote this (and of course at this time you wouldn't have known either) because the beeb have replaced one ego with another so large its in danger of collapsing in on itself.

I too had done that but it appears to be 6 pages of complete balls.

I got the book pretty much as it came out and it was a quick read. I don't normally read books at all unless they are biographic or in someway documentary/factual. Even then I often don't get through many all the way, but with this I found it an easy and enjoyable read. Glad it wasn't a blow by blow of the TG series. He just picks out the more significant or poignant moments and produces some nicely sized chapters on them. Liked the inclusion of the photo pages too. His comments on the punchy situation at the end were kind of unexpected in a way, but understandable. Not sure why I expected a bit more camaraderie and rally round JC, but can completely see why instead he and others felt completely miffed at Clarkson for going and ballsing it up without even giving a proper heartfelt apology for doing so.

Also talks about scripting and such and how little planning some features actually got. But as the expectation for hilarity built then they really had no option to get tighter on the scripting. Just turning up and relying on luck and coincidence was never going to work in the long run.
