he sure does ;D ;D

Missed the One Show last night but just seen the "offending" clip online. May have been a bit over the top even for him, but I had to chuckle. ;D I can't believe that Unison seriously believe he meant what he said, it was just Clarkson being typical Clarkson. ::)
-
Time expired yob.
Does he work for a living? Does he request super injunctions?
-
He,s a clever man, a great self publicist. He has a new Xmas DVD about to hit the shops. All publicity is good publicity.
Those sour faced humourless dicks calling for him to be sacked need to get a life. He is Top Gear,and Top Gear earns the BBC a fortune. Sacked ? - I very much doubt it. ;)

Agreed, Top Gear would be quite flat without him, it works with the three of them off-setting each other.
All the DVD's, Books, Games, Phone Apps, must earn BBC fair amount of dosh!

Incitement ?
Gadaffi ?
FFS, hasn't anybody got a sense of humour anymore ::) ::)

Oh, i'm the leader of UNISON and this horible man on the tv took the piss out of us ::)
WELL GROW A rather SPINE THEN AND GIVE HIM SOME SH*T BACK YOU DOZZY COW ;D ;D
You should read some of his articles from 20 years ago, half the planet would be calling for him to be hung ;D ;D

I volunteer for the firing squad.... ;D ;D.....
Whoops might have upset unison with that one....
-
Where does all this PC rubbish come from, socialism, with the primary source being the unions and Labour. So, do you expect anything different than this mock outrage, from that bunch of neanderthals, What does PC do, restricts freedom of speech and creates a climate of fear. >:( >:( >:( >:(
So long may Clarkson and people like him fight back against this repression. :y
-
Now, wheres my fabourite Blackadder clip. ;D
...ffs, unison bring a town to a standstill then wonder why they get some stick. Grabbing some publicity themselves obviously.
Cheaky yes...but wheres the News for the future pm.
He did say he sympathised with thier position at the start, did he not?
-
I have registered my support for Clarkson at BBC - how could this be taken as serious as opposed to showmanship
-
The thing I can't understand is why all the other comedians aren't getting the same flack as Clarkson.
Oh.. Er... They didn't think he was a serious motoring journalist, did they? (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26795734/Smilies/rofl.gif)
I suppose the PC yogurt-knitting brigade generally stick to public transport, so perhaps they wouldn't know any better?
-
I watched the One show last night......and everything Clarkson said was 'tongue in cheek'......funny how the complainers didnt complain about all his other comments, which were obviously 'jokey' but this particular comment they decided was serious and not a joke........they wanna grow up!

She needs to get her knickers on straight and get over it.

To my mind, he is a self opinionated tit that likes nothing more than progressing Brand Clarkson, in much the same way as Jordan and other wannabees.
Granted, he presents a TV show that has a very tenuous link to the original programme that is watched by many but he is far from the god like figure that many hold him out to be.
Remember though the old old saying.
Opinions are like arsoholes. Everybody has one......... ;D
-
A lot of the reporting of the incident only covers the 'shoot them' bit, not the bit before, that clearly makes it very tongue in cheek.
But God forbid I suggest that our British media are sensationalist idiots
-
'dangle berries', word censor fixed my anger ;D
-
As far as I can tell, the main bone of contention was a 'joke' he made later in the programme about people who commit suicide under trains. I missed that but the earlier jape was both funny and balanced.
But I'm with Broocie....he's still a tit.
-
I think the bloke needs to reinvent himself.He was a bit of a cult figure but he's a bit old now to be getting away with that sort of school boy humour.
Personally i think all three of them on top gear have gone past their sell by dates.

yep he is, but he is totally UN pc and good at what he does.
I just love people like that :y
The people of this country take themselfs far to seriously.
Some people need to be a victim because it makes them feel better about life when the soft tinkers of this world shower them with sympathy ;)
They wouldn't be a problem if he didn't know camron.
Boll*cks to unison ;)
Long live Clarkson :y :y

Of course Broocie, he is a bit self opinionated and outspoken at times but at the end of the day he is actually rather intelligent and probably more so than many of our so called politicians. However, at the end of the day he's an entertainer with a great sense of humour enjoyed by millions worlwide, and thats what he does best. I certainly would never consider him "god like", I just take him for what he is and enjoy his antics and banter.............and yes, he probably would make a better PM than the idiots we've endured over the years. ::)

I sure as heck wouldn't go that far. Entertaining at times, but can only do one act ;)

i love his ridiculous metaphors. i love the sense that he's still mentally 9 years old and also that he can't do anything remotely useful ;D
i've read quite a few of his books and although they seem to follow an obvious trend they are such good reads.

Jezza is a funny bloke but I still think he's a cock of the first order ::)
-
Bit harsh... but you gotta laugh... love the way he comes out with it!! :y
-
Sorry people I'm going with Hotel 21 on this,I been going off Clarkson by degrees for some time,do'nt care much about his opinions and in all honesty I think he's immature and it's time he stopped acting like a spoilt brat and realised that some of the things that he's said in the past have actually been offensive to the various people involved and lets face it if he was to say some of his stuff in your local as an unknown he'd probably get a large portion of nut right between his eyes!! Lock and load,OOORAH!! ;)

Having been given a sets of Clarkson books as Chrimbo and birthday pressie's, I'm still ploughing through them and have to say they have me in tears of laughter at times - very funny and witty. :y Even funnier as I always read them as if it was in his voice. ;D

His entire front is based on "cocking about" as he puts it himself so often. As if it needed saying, NOT to be aken seriously.
He windes my Mum up something wrotten, pmsl. ;D
-
tend to agree with hotel and nitro Im afraid.Dont have a lot of sympathy for some of what Unison are doing/saying and ,yep, Clarkson was just doing his normal showboating along the lines of "any publicity is good publicity" and a "look at me , I can say the most outrageous things I can think of, how smart (smarmy!) am I?" attitude but anyone who felt they had to complain about his comments fell right into it. Used to like Clarkson and agreed with much of what he said but he is becoming increasingly a sad parody of his old self, too full of himself now methinks and saying things for the sake of it rather than trying to make a valid point.

i dont like him one bit stopped watching top gear because of that thing well i think he should be sacked better blokes than him out there

He doesn't wind me up as such. I just try to ignore him as he is, in my view, the Mr Thrush of the tv world. ;DP

Clarkson for PM .................... :y :y :y :y :y

...for presenting top gear? The popularity of that show, and the comparative failure of other tg presenters from the original show, would suggest he is perfect
... for the job, i mean ;D
-

Top Gear makes oodles of money for the BBC. Top Gear Live is very well attended and tickets for the recording of TG are like hen's teeth. You may not like him, but clearly many do (myself included). Why should he be sacked just because you don't like him? :o ::)

Er, well, actually, he's starting to get on my nerves a bit... ;D. ;)
-
Not saying the fella should be sacked by any manner of means.
However.....
He obviously has a big brain, a big ego, a big head and a big mouth. He just needs to join them together in better relative percentages to get a bigger following.
-
By & large Clarkson makes the same kind of comments that groups of blokes in the pub/at work make to each other (how many un-PC jokes have you recieved about Gary Speed?). It's just that he makes similar comment to the public at large! If Clarkson is on telly, Have I got News etc you all know that he'll make some un-PC comment, so if you feel you're going to be offended watch something else or turn it off.
As said earlier on in the thread, the trouble with some people is that they're not happy unless they've something to be offended at or moan about something.

Brain, ego, head or mouth isn't doing his bank balance any harm so far!! ;) ;) ;)

It would do his bank balance more good if he thought more before making a comment.

I doubt it. His appeal is the fact that he can come out with an acerbic comment at any moment - and he's not a luvvie. There is no-one else on TV that. If he started being terribly sensible poeple would switch off in their droves. ;)

Just no!!!!!!
-
Sure I will be corrected here but I saw this as a big dig at the BBC and their OTP drive to be balanced (dull) in their presentation
Said "absolutly fantastic" about the strike and then made the comment based on the requirement for balance.
He has said and written worse than this and I think sometimes actually meant it. In this case not
-
i couldn't agree more with andy b...... if he did think before speaking it would make him less comical!
i genuinely dont think he's a very good reviewer of cars but we dont watch TG for that. we watch it for a bit of escapism and dreams and being little kids for an hour.

People are missing the point.Top Gear Clarkson is a persona,its not the real him.He can be (when he wants to be) a good,thoughtful journalist who is capable of good quality work.His programme on Isambard Kingdom Brunel being a case in point.
He gets on my nerves sometimes,but overall Im glad we have him.There must always be a place for outrageous,right wing knee jerk reactionary people on TV,even if it is an exaggerated persona.Otherwise we will be left with namby pamby,lefty,PC tedious bores - which is exactly what we get 90% of the time.

i don't think he's the best car reviewer by far; he seems to twist certain things to sound good or bad, depending on what he wants, that aren't actually right.
having said that they all do it... hammond's review of the mustang being a prime example when he talked about the ''neat'' horsepower figure of 500 ::)

Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has apologised for saying striking public sector workers should be shot, he has apologised and said he meant they should be burned on a stake instead and ridiculed on their death bed for driving a ford fiesta. ;D

We should express outrage at the BBC and demand that Clarkson withdraw his apology

Would someone burned at the stake be on a death bed, Millwall? I have this weird image of Clarkson standing over a man in bed on fire whilst he tells him he'd rather put an angry weasel down his trousers instead of driving the Fiesta ;D ;D ;D

Ok. They've had the goalposts moved a bit so i can see the pubic sector are a tad disgruntled but they'll still be catered for better than many. They do worthwhile jobs many of which i could'nt do & which we should'nt take forgranted. That said i have no pension & no payrise in the last 8 years or so...i still have a safe job which i appreciate. As i say below we're ALL paying the price onhe way or another so stop bleating & get on with it like the rest of us.
The strikers should'nt have "struck" but they're not the root of the problem reaaly. That would be the succsession of career politicians with no actual experience of real life, commerce, industry etc. & the bleeding heart PC brigade who have non jobs which contribute nothing to our bleeding economy & really should burger off to some yurt commune to drink wheatgrass & recycle thier toenails....or get shot in front of thier families?
Clarkson is Clarkson, what did they expect? I like the bloke even though he hates caravans!
-
hes at it again ;D ;D
Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has become embroiled in further controversy after describing people who throw themselves under trains as "selfish".
The 51-year-old, who was forced to apologise earlier this week after saying all striking workers should be shot, reiterated his view that those who commit suicide at railway stations cause "immense" disruption for commuters.
In his column in The Sun newspaper, Clarkson said: "I have the deepest sympathy for anyone whose life is so mangled and messed up that they believe death's icy embrace will be better."
He said around 200 people a year "decide that the best way to go is by hurling themselves in front of a speeding train" and adds: "However, it is a very selfish way to go because the disruption it causes is immense. And think what it's like for the poor train driver who sees you lying on the line and can do absolutely nothing to avoid a collision."
Later in the article the presenter refers to those who choose to jump in front of trains as "Johnny Suicide" and argues that following a death, trains should carry on their journeys as soon as possible.
He adds: "The train cannot be removed nor the line re-opened until all of the victim's body has been recovered. And sometimes the head can be half a mile away from the feet.
"Change the driver, pick up the big bits of what's left of the victim, get the train moving as quickly as possible and let foxy woxy and the birds nibble away at the smaller, gooey parts that are far away or hard to find."
The comments have sparked criticism among suicide and mental health charities. Paul Farmer, chief executive of Mind, described the comments as "extraordinarily tasteless", especially in the wake of the death of footballer Gary Speed.
He said: "I think it's extraordinarily tasteless in its tone. I think there will be many people who have lost loved ones to suicide and people who have contemplated suicide that will think it is in extremely bad taste.
"It stands out like a sore thumb from what is increasingly a more supportive approach to suicide by the media. People will feel like he is trivialising the subject and dismissing people who have taken their own lives. This is a man who really doesn't understand what he is talking about."

I've heard many people say that those who throw themselves under trains are selfish. It's a common viewpoint and I don't think it's such a big deal to repeat it.
Why are we now seemingly unable to say anything without someone reading in some non-existent malicious intent. ::) ::) ::)

I had a friend who drove trains and had a suicide happen to him. Just stood there and waited.
Suffered for over a year with PTSD and even after returning to work would tell of still being able to see the guys "smiling" face as it hit the train. Gives me the shivers.
He died almost two years ago of a heart attack, 45, will never be sure if it was connected.
He always thought it was selfish

Can't disagree with that, Millwall.
