In a futile attempt to provoke some ire, I present Jeremy Clarkson


Makes seemingly irresistable programmes about cars.


Also has a rather polished line in structured antagoism.


Me - Despite the quasie ( sp ) fascistic overtones of his pronouncements , I have utter respect for the fellow as a broadcaster. Up there wirh Brian Sewell, both Hitchens & Burchill.


You ?

Love him.


He knows just what to say in order to wind up exactly those he wants to get into a flap. They know he is winding them up, but they still bite, every time. It's a commendable ability.


My favourite is his complaint about the M4 bus lane... "why do poor people need to get somewhere quicker than I do?". I think the editor of the Guardian must have immediately passed out in apoplexy.

what Brendan said


All we need now is a Bernard Manning appreciation thread and I'm off


(cue obvious arrival of a new Bernard Manning thread)


I know people like tweaking the nose of the chattering-classes and because he appears to be doing just that he has fans, and that any criticism of him is quickly deflected as the critic having no sense of humour but man if there IS a joke (and I believe there isn't - he means all of it) then it was one-dimensional when it arrived years ago and it has long out-stayed it's welcome. And women who say they love him would run a mile in real-life from the constant boorishness

What Brendan, Sean MacGabhann and RosieH said.


At best: tedious oaf. At worst: snide, smug, offensive, ignorant oaf.

Sewart Lee's rant about Top Gear and its "boys" pretty well summed up what I think. I'll have a look for it later.


Oh, and "huncamunca", sure, ok, you're not snorky, but I've been meaning to ask, how did that business with the pregnant au pair work out?

Come on


The show where he drove a Reliant Robin was genius

I laughed so hard ( & I watched it twice ) that I had an Asthma attack


It was brilliantly funny & informative



W**F

I hope he drives his car into a tree, where his leg gets stuck under the wheel. Hopefully in a remote countryside spot where there is no reception so he remains unfound for days. Before he dies of starvation, a bird will come to visit him and pluck at his eyballs for nourishment


Eventually Richard Hammond and James May will go on a search for him and find him. But instead of being upset, Hammond will start to giggle uncontrollably - like a schoolboy that has been bullied for years and had to pretend everything the bully did was cool, who now finds his tormentor is no more


What??? hey if he can dish it out, he can take it

In truth - he is a little bit sexist - so Rosie does not like him.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
