Clarkson

In a futile attempt to provoke some ire, I present Jeremy Clarkson


Makes seemingly irresistable programmes about cars.


Also has a rather polished line in structured antagoism.


Me - Despite the quasie ( sp ) fascistic overtones of his pronouncements , I have utter respect for the fellow as a broadcaster. Up there wirh Brian Sewell, both Hitchens & Burchill.


You ?

Love him.


He knows just what to say in order to wind up exactly those he wants to get into a flap. They know he is winding them up, but they still bite, every time. It's a commendable ability.


My favourite is his complaint about the M4 bus lane... "why do poor people need to get somewhere quicker than I do?". I think the editor of the Guardian must have immediately passed out in apoplexy.

what Brendan said


All we need now is a Bernard Manning appreciation thread and I'm off


(cue obvious arrival of a new Bernard Manning thread)


I know people like tweaking the nose of the chattering-classes and because he appears to be doing just that he has fans, and that any criticism of him is quickly deflected as the critic having no sense of humour but man if there IS a joke (and I believe there isn't - he means all of it) then it was one-dimensional when it arrived years ago and it has long out-stayed it's welcome. And women who say they love him would run a mile in real-life from the constant boorishness

What Brendan, Sean MacGabhann and RosieH said.


At best: tedious oaf. At worst: snide, smug, offensive, ignorant oaf.

Sewart Lee's rant about Top Gear and its "boys" pretty well summed up what I think. I'll have a look for it later.


Oh, and "huncamunca", sure, ok, you're not snorky, but I've been meaning to ask, how did that business with the pregnant au pair work out?

I hope he drives his car into a tree, where his leg gets stuck under the wheel. Hopefully in a remote countryside spot where there is no reception so he remains unfound for days. Before he dies of starvation, a bird will come to visit him and pluck at his eyballs for nourishment


Eventually Richard Hammond and James May will go on a search for him and find him. But instead of being upset, Hammond will start to giggle uncontrollably - like a schoolboy that has been bullied for years and had to pretend everything the bully did was cool, who now finds his tormentor is no more


What??? hey if he can dish it out, he can take it

In truth - he is a little bit sexist - so Rosie does not like him.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
