Diddly Squat: The G.O.A.T.
Pre-order the all new collection of farming fiascos and flat-cap antics from the UK's best loved gentleman farmer and (two time!) Sexiest Man Alive winner Jeremy Clarkson
'Fans of Prime TV series Clarkson's Farm will enjoy this companion' IRISH TIMES
Welcome back to Clarkson’s farm.
After a year of natural disasters, cow disease, and man-made catastrophe inflicted by Westminster, all Diddly Squat had to show for everyone’s cunning plans and hard work was a £5,000 loss.
The G.O.A.T.? Some hope. It was barely OK.
But while Jeremy might have suffered an annus horribilis, it wasn’t all doom and gloom. Not when our irrepressible hero learned from two smiling overseas visitors that in China he’s feted as a ‘second Shakespeare’ because he is ‘quite good’ at writing.
And fortunately, Diddly Squat has never left him short of anything to write about.
From a thirteen-ton digger armed with a chainsaw to an attempt to cook that produced what appeared to be an amputated testicle, and from the farm’s teeming birdlife to a simple walk in the countryside, there was pleasure to be found in all things great and small. Shared with friends.
Turns out that life on Diddly Squat is rather better than OK, or even ‘quite good’, after all.
At times, perhaps, it really is the Greatest Of All Time . . .

About the author
Jeremy Clarkson
68 books1,209 followersJeremy Charles Robert Clarkson (born April 11, 1960) is an English broadcaster and writer who specialises in motoring.
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.
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.
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.
As well as the criticism levelled against him, Clarkson also generated a significant following in the public at large, being credited as a factor in the resurgence of Top Gear to the most popular show on BBC Two, and calls for him to be made Prime Minister. Clarkson himself was keen to downplay his perceived influence on the British public, stating he regularly contradicts himself, and would make a "rubbish" Prime Minister.

It's a shame this book is so short as I throughly enjoyed it and was laughing all the way through. More please Jeremy as soon as possible.
