So of all the characters a gifted comic can play, that's the one? Really????


As a complete aside, I am getting really hacked off with this new use of ~"Really?". Sort of pronounced Rreeaaly?


Not a dig at you Sean, a good mate has started doing it all the bloody time, because his new bird uses it a lot.


Very annoying!

I had the misfortune of working for Top Gear magazine, and consequently ran across Clarkson with more regularity than is healthy.


Suffice to say that he's not playing a character, that's him. He's so obnoxious it's almost perverse.


He was fliming down one end of our carpark, and we were down the other - around 100 yards away - having our usual fag break. He completely lost it because he thought we were looking at him. We were subject to a tirade of abuse and then forbidden from smoking when Clarkson was around.


What a prat.



Exactly !!! With everyone rushing to say he is playing a character I started to think I was going mad


Ok, my or Huguenot?s opinion isn?t going to prove anything ? but if it happened to be the case that Clarkson really doesn?t believe what he comes out with, does that change his supporters? viewpoint?

I do really enjoy watching Top Gear though, not because I 'like' or 'admire' Clarkson, I like the premise of the programme.


It appeals to me at a really base level, the rebellious little schoolboy inside who gets off on seeing how many burgers he can fit in his mouth, or bullying the goofy kid.

he's a cunt, he's a cunt, he's a big fat cunt, he's the biggest fattest cunt in the whole wide world...


Good, never believed for a second he was somehow "method acting". I know too many people who think like him, but aren't given the print and broadcast platforms to air their noxious ramblings. Adding a humorous veneer makes his poisonous rants no less toxic.


Twatola of the first order.

And that Brian May is dead sexy.

What? We all have guilty pleasures and I'm afraid this is mine. James May is the only likeable presenter on it but I just can't help but find it entertaining.


I don't buy Clarkson books or read his columns but once a week, for an hour, I find the combination of cars, crashes, explosions and minor celebrity a blessed relief from the world of high-culture that I normally inhabit. One can go to too many performances of Swan Lake you know.

    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
    • Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
