[Times Column] Jeremy Clarkson: “Wellness trends are a load of (inflatable) balls”
Posted by FlipStig1@reddit | thegrandtour | View on Reddit | 6 comments
Jeremy Clarkson focuses on health and wellness trends in this column. He drew from his work experience at Top Gear and The Grand Tour to make this point:
“It’s madness. I’ve slept in cars and vans and lorries on many occasions over the years and the main thing I’ve learnt is that they are either far too hot or far too cold. Also, you bang your head all the time, the food you make is inedible, there is never anywhere to go to the lavatory and at three in the morning you’ll be woken up and told to move on by a cocaine smuggler. Well, that’s what happened to me once and it’ll probably happen to you as well.”
(No paywall encountered in this link, but if you hit one, what happens beyond that is up to you alone. And for those asking why I always add this type of disclaimer on Clarkson’s columns, it’s because the suits running Reddit have recently changed their copyright enforcement protocols to the point where not only my profile can be swiftly deleted next time, but the entire subreddit as well if the infringement is widespread.)

Wonder if “dingleberries” means the same in the UK as it does here in the States - the USMC definition I mean.

Erm...... "It’s now considered important that you’re seen to be coping with adversity. Which is indeed a noble trait. But not when the adversity is of your own making. That’s just daft."
