Here’s to hoping he can stick around for a while longer and be motivated enough to continue his new health and wellness journey. The struggle is real! This part stood out for me:
“I’m not going to dwell on the joys of being a grandparent because what can be said about it has already been said. But I have decided that it is so wonderful that I want it to go on for as long as is humanly possible. Which means I must do everything in my power to not die.”

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best is today.
So while it might be a bit late, its better now than never as the way he was going, he had a few years at best left

His liver is done for and he has a coal miners lungs.
Luckily he can afford treatment and transplants.

If he’s actually taking it seriously he’ll stop drinking. I hope he does.

He should make a mini series around him learning Pilates and to take care of himself. It would be hilarious watching him get tortured.

I hope he does. He already quit smoking, which is great. But he'll have to quit drinking and lose a lot of weight. He really hasn't a given a fuck for all his life. I can kinda appreciate a person who lives like that, but eventually it'll catch up to you hard.

I’ve loved watching Clarkson (and May and Hammond) throughout the years, but the last couple of specials and Clarkson’s Farm has shown something that should be abundantly clear: Hammond and May either watched what they ate/exercised, and Clarkson did not.

It would have been a lot easier if he started trying not to die 20 years ago

Just don't drive a Rimac like Hammond, and he'll be immortal.

He's doing it as a bet to not die before Tory government in distant future reverts the inheritance tax on farms.

Everything in moderation! Even the drinking, if he can cut that down to a minimum or an on-occasion basis, he’ll be on a speed run on the right path

He should do a show where he builds Lego like Hammond and May. Would love to watch him place a piece backwards and freak out
