    It could have been worse - it could have been the Clarkson books with the pages stuck together.

      So one book is by Clarkson. The other 124 by Janet and John. Nice.

        More disturbing statistics. I have over 5000 ebooks on chess, and I've never read any. I don't even like the game much.

        Must have just about every chess book published since William Caxton printed the first in 1474, and the same goes for several other topics.

        Why the hell did I bother downloading them all?

          Not sure I follow.

          I have over 5000 links to porn on my machine and only one penis. I know why I downloaded them.

            Clarkson is well outnumbered by Nobel prize winning physicists and a few decent authors. In fact, he's outnumbered by AA Milne.

            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              I got quite heavily into chess for a while, I went backpacking for a year with a guy who knew his stuff (british under 16 champion ), it is quite dull, you are just data mining openings which you have to research and it is all about reading the books. I never beat him once, got a draw after hundreds of games. The fecker could play multiple games blinfolded and win them all. He ended up in cocaine anonymous.

                You are conforming to the stereotypical liberal leftie intellectual snob by showing off with this.

                I like Jeremy Clarkson, Margaret Thatcher and Boris Johnson and I am not afraid to admit it.

                    I was reading Orwell's 'Coming up for air' again last week and while he may have a good story I find his language quite laboured and dare I say quite basic.

                      I deduce from this that you can read. It is also clear that if only so few of your books are by Clarkson, you have a broad reading range which indicates a sophisticated mind.
                      Sophisticated and educated.
                      You get Christmas presents, which tells me you are of Judeao/Christian culture, and you get many presents which indicates a family man who is popular. The fact that many presents are unopened shows that you are either lazy or busy, posting on a contractor forum means that you are both, lazy and busy.
                      Sophisticated, educated, popular family man, non muslim, lazy with a busy life.
                      Why would you be disturbed at having a clarkson book, considering that you are generally broad minded ? because you are a left winger and you like to wear your politics on your sleeve

                      So, we have a Sophisticated, educated, non muslim, popular family man, lazy with a busy life , who is a bit of a loud mouthed Trot
