Your Annual Jeremy Clarkson Motivational Tweet Is Here
It's been a while since I last looked at Jeremy Clarkson's Twitter. If you've never looked at all, it's not really any different from other Twitters. Except every year, around the middle of August, you get a, uh, motivational tweet.
Clarkson tweets this stuff like clockwork, as @Steve_THFC correctly predicted:
Clarkson's philosophy, clearly, is that you don't need to get good grades to succeed in life. This year's message:
Don't worry if your A level grades aren't any good. I got a C and 2 Us. And I'm sitting here deciding which of my Range Rovers to use today
— Jeremy Clarkson (@JeremyClarkson) August 16, 2018
2017's message:
If you didn't get the right A level results, don't worry. I got a C and 2 Us, and my chef is preparing truffles for breakfast.

2016's message:
If your A level results are disappointing, don't worry. I got a C and two Us, and I'm currently on a superyacht in the Med.

2015's message:
If your A level results aren't great, be cheered by the fact that I got a C and two Us. And I'm currently sitting in a villa in St Tropez.

If you're curious, a U stands for "unclassified" for the General Certificate of Secondary Education in the UK. It's awarded to people who fail to achieve the bare minimum in a GCSE subject. Are you surprised?
Here's one that someone I know would write: "If you didn't have enough money to bribe your teachers with, cheer up with the fact that I did and now I'm lighting my Aston Martin yacht on fire to prove a point."
