Jeremy Clarkson's "The World According To Clarkson" is one of Penguin's "best books of its kind to be published in recent years"

That's more Radio 2 than Top Gear

This murder(er), I thought.

Nah, lorry driver as murderer is pretty strongly held in UK folklore, hence the Viz strip "Laurie Driver"

Well you thought wrong (xp)

Wasn't that guy in Suffolk a lorry driver as well?

i was thinking specifically the guy muyrdering prostitutes in Norwich a couple years back? xp yeah that one

He had been a lorry driver, but not at the time of the murders. Listen Dom, he's knows his sick humour.

Listen to Dom

Not wanting to get all Clarkson, and wanting even less to agree with anything Jimmy Carr says, but the latter is absolutely OTM about everything in this country at the moment feeling like going to school and being told off for breathing. I'm fed up with it.

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE

Let's ask David Cameron what he thinks should be done about the evil Clarkson

"That Clarkson nicked ma bike frae ootside Tesco's, the cunt..."

OK, so we know what Bobby Gillespie thinks of him

"Aye but its wreckage looked beautiful and punk rebel against the sunset o' rock an' roll an' that..."

mccustos in the house

"See yon Clarkson, he's a right Tory Nazi right enough but he's goat some nice Allman Brothers rarities..."

The only solution is to ban jokes

"Holl'! Nae way, big yin, if ye ban jokes then Andy Cameron'd huv tae become a fulltime recording artist and the last Primal Scream album sold fuck all as it is! And whit aboot Mr. Abie, whit wid he dae?"

good luck usa!!!

USA is A-OK

Can't believe I changed my name and I'm still banned from I Love Cricket.

LJ = the Captain Bligh of Cricket Boards

can't believe anybody cares about being banned from a cricket board.

Dude I'll take watching cricket over watching Spurs.

just bought yourself a ban from spurs board.

Or "I Love the Championship", to give it its full title.

imma ask to have the use of 'The Church'

No way! Where will people go for their "pretending Ask Chaki never existed" needs then?

i'll have a rolling thread.

bet you wished you weren't banned now.

Look, I know you Poms dumped your undesirables here about 200 years ago. But please don't think you can dump Clarkson on us now.

Kind Regards,
Australia

I would love to believe this exists. Even more so because we would be able to do an A1ex Macpherson/Jeremy Clarkson compare and contrast.

one is an obnoxious tory-boy with opinions4u and the other is... oh blah-blah you get it.

why the fuck did jeremy clarkson get to write the notes for "selling england by the pound" in the genesis reissue box set? I appreciate that he likes the album but they could have done better than that.

they could?

I have some friends who enjoy the 'motoring' show Clarkson hosts, but I think it's due to the fact that any random comments he makes don't sound serious because they're coming from an elitist british dude hosting a show about cars and he just ends up sounding precocious.

I just think the BBC should offer equal airtime to a show where 3 Marxists review new guns or something.

lol Geir's favourite album of all-time

(Actually, I really like it too)

"Marxist Marksmen"
BBC do that irregular "3 Men In A Boat" programme AKA "Griff Rhys Jones gets a bit tetchy then loses his temper while Rory McBeard hides behind his beard and Darrah O'Brien looks on with his mouth open in disbelief" - does that partially make up for it?

I've said it nuff times, too much "Battle of Epping Twatting Forest" and not enough of that awesome 5/4 lock-groove that get into at the end of "Cinema Show".

xpost lol at committed socialists Griff Rhys Jones Rory Cuntrememberhissurnname and Dara Notfunny.

I actually really grew to like BOEF last time I heard it. Like, really really genuinely enjoyed and integrated with it. But yeah, the 2nd half of Cinema Show is a wonder (especially the drum intro to the organ refrain). Firth Of Fifth is the absolute diamond obvs ffs.

I don't hate it so much as never need to hear it. IMO it does fuck "Selling England" as a serious Genesis's best album contender tho.

I haven't really heard any of the other :-/

*others

Suggest Wind and Wuthering as a) best post-Gabriel album, b) contender for best album full stop, and c) pretty much up-your-alley I think.

Cheers! :)

I just arrived back from the states yesterday afternoon, and the first thing I saw when I turned on the TV (Channel 4 News) was John Snow apologising for Jeremy Clarkson's comments earlier on the show. What was that about, anyone?

JC called Gordon Brown "a one eyed Scottish idiot"

Ta. Thought maybe it was something to do with the Carol Thatcher thing. I'm still catching up.

A review of the new Honda Insight

Much has been written about the Insight, Honda’s new low-priced hybrid. We’ve been told how much carbon dioxide it produces, how its dashboard encourages frugal driving by glowing green when you’re easy on the throttle and how it is the dawn of all things. The beginning of days.

So far, though, you have not been told what it’s like as a car; as a tool for moving you, your friends and your things from place to place.

So here goes. It’s terrible. Biblically terrible. Possibly the worst new car money can buy. It’s the first car I’ve ever considered crashing into a tree, on purpose, so I didn’t have to drive it any more...

I don't take anything he says about hybrids or any other "green" car seriously.
