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.

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.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
