I enjoyed reading that as I like Clarksons journalistic style. Sad to hear that people are campaigning to get Top Gear off the air though. I think there should be some kind of petition to keep it on put up somewhere!
Couldn\'t disagree more about Mr Clarkson\'s journalistic style, Ben. He\'s a boorish, arrogant oaf who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, had a privelaged childhood, a snob\'s education & really has little or no idea about how the majority of people here in the UK actually live, what we do to pay the bills mummy sorted out for him when he was younger & most importantly for an automotive journalist, he hasn\'t a bloody clue what real people drive!
That said, his pompousness & air of grandeur, to the manor born attitude is what distinguishes him from one or two others on the TV & is probably what makes him popular with the masses, because he says controversial things without realising he\'s offending 2/3 of the country. He lives in lala land & thinks it\'s perfectly normal to have a decommisioned fighter jet in his wee country mansion\'s driveway .... I\'m surprised his wife didn\'t grind his nuts to a pulp with her green wellies when he pulled that stunt!
Strange how a show presented by a bumbling fool, a pompous twat & a working class bloke makes such compelling viewing .. says it all about the UK! At least \'hamster\' Hammond has an air of realism about him & actually knows (knew) what it\'s like to struggle to pay a mortgage & make the monthly HP payments on a Ford Escort. Give me VB-H any day .. sound down obviously but at least she\'s easy on the eye, even if she does spout a load of bovine scatollogy almost all the time she tries to talk about cars
And at least Tiff Needell & Jason Plato actually know how to drive performance vehicles both swiftly & safely, unlike the pompous arrogant twat over on Top Gear ......
OK, class .... discuss. I\'ll enjoy seeing the replies to this one!
