IMHO Clarkson is one of the most obnoxious, self centred prats on the TV and I would rather watch paint dry than sit in front of the telly when he is on.

This post is just what I was saying the other day when being pulled up over my opinion and being asked to justify it.
It is YOUR opinion and yours alone, you shouldn't have to give reasons for thinking that, well not yet though in a few years you may have to when it becomes EU law. :xrofl:

I must say IMO he is very funny and totally un-pc, scripted to make it funny/more entertaining well that's fine by me too. 99.999% of comedy program's are scripted aren't they?

Carry on Top Gear your great. :xgrin:
 
Would have watched it if the Argentinians had strung clarkeson up......in all seriousness the most objectionable charters on TV. And bbc saying the number plate a coincidence, pure BS
 
Well I love it and according to viewing figures around the world so do a huge number of others.
Anything that sticks 2 fingers up to the left wing, nanny state, tree hugging pc brigade gets my vote. :moon2::moon2:
So Long Live Top Gear :xThumb::xThumb:

Always new it would be a controversial post. However I did say ' in my humble opinion'. Each to his own.

yer but what a script
its kept me entertained for years
all the previous formats were dull
even viki butler henderson had similar
voice inflections learnt off of mr clarkson
only MY opinion of course obviousley
no one else will agree but thats life


dont forget the second part is on @ eight tonight for you to watch or miss
whatever :reel::imoutahere::moon2::lips:
 
Some thoughts to ponder.

Angela Rippon was Top Gear’s first presenter.

JC’s mum put him through public school on the proceeds of sales of pirated stuffed Paddington Bears.

He’s the filling in the sandwich of the Chipping Norton gang fitted snugly twixt Rebecca Brookes and David Cameron.

Farage has spent as much courting JC over to UKIP as he has on Labour mp Simon Danczuk.

Clarkson is a little peed off though as Nige is rapidly becoming as, if not more popular among petrol heads as he is.

:xrofl:

viewing figures have always been good for progs like Coronation Street, Eastenders, Emmerdale, but lets face it... they are CRAP too.

Mmmm, while I will always respect another persons own opinion I think you will find if you can be bothered to waste some of your very precious time on this spinning rock that TG is sold to hundreds of countries and makes millions of £'s for the BBC and has been seen by billions of peeps.
Crap it may be IYO but very popular to the rest of the world crap :xThumb:

And what if it is,so what,it was not probably ment to offend,not good as the turn of events proved.

I see a Statue/bust of Margeret Thatcher that is to be placed in the Falklands as a mark of Thanks/Respect is being decried by the Argentines.

Time to move on.
 
It might just be me, but this number plate, that had to be sent over to Argentina in order for the car to be exported there, probably about 6 months in advance was not picked up by the Argentinians as offensive. The cars were sent to Argentina, along with all the filming equipment, which was then inspected by the Argentine officials, and no objection was raised.
On nearly the last day of filming, somebody pointed out that the number plate "H982 FKL" was extremely offensive, and that it had been done deliberately.
Personally, I still don't get it? FKL is not a recognised abbreviation for the Falkland Islands, the war did not happen in 982, and where does the H come into it?

I think top gear is fantastic. Always have done & always will.
Just watched part 1 of the Patagonia special & loved every second.
The dynamics between the orangutang, hamster & captain slow are spot on!

The H could refer to Lt. Colonel 'H' Jones a VC hero of the Falklands campaign.

And "Rich" I believe he has shares in the production company and since 300/400 million people worldwide view Top Gear he's doing OK, good luck to him. I do agree he's difficul to like.

Clarkson was one of the three shareholders in Bedder 6 - the production company behind Top Gear. And, from where he's made a lot of money. BBC Worldwide, who held 50% of shares, bought Clarkson' 30% shareholding a couple of years ago.
I believe he's now "just" a salaried presenter.
 
It has been checked out and that reg number is genuine on that car and has always been on it. At the time there were only two 928's for sale and that one fitted the bill. The number has to be thought about quite carefully to make it fit so I think it was unlucky, not so when they painted there cars and truck with gay slogans in the Bible Belt of the US and got in the same amount of trouble. That was just plain stupid.

something anyone who chucks spanners around regularly will know is impossible to remove completely no matter HOW much you clean, scrape and scrub ! )

Simples when I have been machining or doing something with gunge I wash my hands with a good handcleaner then when they are reasonable mix a bit of bleach in water and scrub with a fine nailbrush. You could shake hands with the Queen after. Just do not make it too strong and it does have a slight smell but they are clean.
 
OMG. did you see those stars.

Tell me why they would even think to buy another number plate if the original one didn't mean anything?
