Clarkson

[TillieTrotter]

Hurrah for Jeremy.

[waynetta]

My favourite clarkson moment was when he said to Kate moss(who was a Charlie fiend at the time and apparently didn't know him) 'i'm Jeremy clarkson and I do top gear'

[SeanMacGabhann]

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

S'rubbish innit

[Keef]

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!

[????]

*awaits predictable response*

[Brendan]

Is it as annoying as Quids?

[Brendan]

That the one you were waiting for?

[????]

Nope

[Brendan]

Really?

[????]

Walked into that didn't I

[Brendan]

As the actress said to the pontif.

[Huguenot]

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.

[SeanMacGabhann]

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?

[Huguenot]

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.

[RosieH]

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.

Ditto.

So, were you or weren't you looking at him ?

W**F

[RosieH]

Carnell. I'm shocked.

[Huguenot]

My gaze may have wandered across him with ill-disguised contempt.

He was the kind of bloke that would keep yelling at you through the toilet door when you were trying to have a relaxing poop because he thought his needs were more important than yours.

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.

Boy likes watching shit get blowed up good.

I like the way they shove the five girls who turn-up to the studio audience filming to the front of the crowd - in desperate yet hopeless attempt to demonstrate cross-sex appeal.

[????]

my missus loves it and she reads the Guardian and the only thing she knows about cars is what colour they are.

[SeanMacGabhann]

S?true

I know loads of women who love it ? definitely not a male thing
