I'm not "looking" from anything from him TBH. This guy is a modern day celebrity. A person who I do not give a $hit about, and a person that history will not give a $hit about either. Do you honestly think the likes of this clown are going to be remembered in 300 years time? No way. This guy is unimportant, the fact that some people think this clown is culturally important just shows how ****ed up we've become

If he's so unimportant, why are you getting your knickers in so much of a twist about him.......at this hour?

Eh?

Whether we like Jeremy Clarkson/Top Gear/Cars/Political Correctness or not, surely we can all rally behind the heartening news that a public sector organisation is finally implementing a disciplinary procedure against a worker.

Meanwhile, we await their long overdue report on the Paedophiles & perverts who abused & molested while receiving their shilling.

My "knickers" are no way in a twist at all, I'm just trying to give you a another viewpiont on how you shouldn't view the angle of Jeremy Clarkson's viewpoint as the total truth on things. That's all.

Are you willing to pay to watch it? If so, you can pay my TV Licence

The amount of foot stomping toys out of the pram stuff from the pubescent Top Gear fans is unreal

Do you actually think Top Gear needs, or indeed gets any of, the TV licence fee? It funds itself and then some (some being a lot).

Lets flip it - are you willing to pay a higher licence fee if Top Gear goes? Because the Beeb are going to want their lost cash somehow...

I think your'e Knickers are always in a twist TBH.

I explianed my position on this, but you had to come back for more.

Well, so be it.

You love to rant & fair play to ya.

Sweat & rant in your own room & as long as it dosen't interfere with the general population.

It's all good then....

That's not fair Filmer, you are being highly disingenuous. Show me why I should give a damn what Mr.Clarkson has to say about anything and then we can actually debate the subject

Karl. How many millions of pounds have you made for any cause?

Jeremy's talent kept a fair few people in jobs over the years.

How creative are you? Other than to make a few smart remarks on an internet site.

It's a British public sector body so why would anyone here care about that?

buried · 13-03-2015 03:12AM

Yeah Karl, you never made any millions in money terms that we know about, so what say have you over anything at all at all :rolleyes:

I wouldn't blame him if he did lash out.

My most creative moment was, this one time, when I puked on the bathroom floor after a feed of beer.. the shape of the puddle was reminiscent of wistful old woman staring toward the sea.

Ah yes, you're back-pedalling. You think him being a big screaming diva, and lashing out, over not having his dinny-poos served to him was justified now is it?

Fair enough. Show an idiot like me How Jeremy Clarkson's worldwide view makes any sense then.

Well it's good of you to admit it anyway. And why should I even want to convince anyone of the validity or otherwise of Clarkson's views. Top Gear is just a tv show, albeit an entertaining one. Beats me why the OTT caricature of himself that Clarkson plays on it should get people so aerated.

Wide Load · 13-03-2015 03:37AM

This thread is a strange one. I think people care more about this than the man does himself :pac:

Wait.. isn't it his fanboys who are getting their Jezza y-fronts in a twist? Isn't it they who want him to be held to a different standard to everyone else?

Fwiw I like Top Gear and it's one of the very few programmes on TV that I will actually think 'TG is coming on'. I've learned to tune out the painful 'comedy' and focus on the cars, locations, challenges and amazing production which imo make the programme what it is.

But that's exactly the point, why should people care if it gets cancelled anyways? It's not like its going to exist forever, it won't. It can't. Things change. Embrace that is the absolute fact of actual existence and move the f**k on.

FloatingVoter · 13-03-2015 03:52AM

So out of complete lack of interest ?

Should JC be crucified or given a payrise when he moves the ship to Sky ?

Scene one of Top Gear Mk II (live on Sky):

Jeremy and the Irish producer cook a steak on the engine of a tank.

.....and people pay for ideas like that.

The challenges are the best thing on it. As is destroying caravans in a variety of ways.

Clarkson hooning it around the track in a V12 monstrosity shouting "POWERRR" is one of Top Gear's tropes and tbh is preferable to them doing a review of the new Vauxhall Astra or whatever. The "Star" in a reasonably priced care is usually interminably boring as is the slide in recent years to product placement of whatever dire film that said "star" is promoting.

The news bits are another series of tropes, like insulting mexico or "and now the Dacea Sandero...", they get to be like familiar sitcom catchphrases.

I don't particularly care, it's had a good run. What I do find a bit absurd is the BBC getting it's knickers in a twist over what is essentially an internal matter to that production. Get Clarkson to apologise to the guy and bung him a couple of grand compo, why there needs to be an inquiry seems faintly ridiculous as is shelving 3 already completed programs.

Also, like it or not, as much as it seems unfair, "talent" should be given more leeway than normal. It just seems like stuff is going in an ever more pc direction. Like him or not, at least Clarkson HAS a character, would it be preferable to have yet another programme hosted by some anodyne nonentity like Matt Baker?

Look past the laddish persona and there's an extremely intelligent person looking back at you. I've read a lot of what he's written, purely because I enjoyed grumpy old man whingeing in written format but some points he makes are as unexpected as they are bright.

I've read a lot of his columns. He may have moments but he's also a borderline retarded. His Xenophobic rants are as dumb as you can get.

He's extremely well travelled and takes the piss. People get the ****s in India It is a fact. Eating bugs in far off places does not make you a man...it means there just is a lack of decent chippers. These are opinions - not the ranting s of a racist zealot.
Three Blind Mice used to be sang by us lot at school, we innocently pronounced it "knickers". Not knowing what a knicker or a ****** was ...being 4 years old at the time. The world didn't end in the late 1970s as a result of this and so far as I know none of my then classsmates went on to join the KKK.

And the people from England should be very proud of how their small little country conquered so much of the world. The guy's a f'kin boob.

It depends on the future demand for slight science fiction. You are right that authors last in terms of fame. For all we know Celia Ahearne will be more famous than her father in 100 years.
