Anyone just seen that? Wow. Serious shit.
-
Do you believe the FKL 82 number plate was just a coincidence?
-
Absolutely not. I think clarkson is an absolute dick and his stunt completely backfired.
Could have got someone killed.
-
Yeah, I reckon it probably was a piss poor joke, they completely misjudged.
The geography of that southern part of Argentina and Chile looks stunning.
-
Agree mate, stunning part of the world.
-
My biggest travelling regret is heading north from Buenos Aires and not south. Amazing part of the world.

Come on lighten up, like him or not Top Gear is one of the BBC's biggest earners. This shows one major thing ITS POPULAR. 3 blokes behaving in a childlike manner, that's why it is what it

Yep, you could see those Argies chuckling away to themselves as they chased them out of the country..! A blight upon the reputation of Britain and the BBC? Nah, just lighten up...
-
I don't see the need to take it so seriously, it's fun and that's what you should make of it.
Also always amuses me that the ire is directed at the presenters. As if they write and plan the whole thing, when in reality a lot of it will be producers and directors...
-
Clarkson's a bell end who makes humour for bell ends. His stock in trade is very obvious jabs at self-righteous liberal types. There's a role for that humour. It's not massively clever or innovative but plenty of people lap it up.
My real grouse with him is not that. That's just being a second rate comedian. My grouse is the several newspaper articles and TV programmes that he's made about South Yorkshire. He's from here. And he makes deliberate, nasty, stereotyping digs at the place he came from, for other people's amusement. That puts him on a par with the black house servants who would perform for their white masters' amusement by taking the piss out of the shortcomings of their own kin.
He's a pathetic Kitson and I'd gladly punch his f***ing lights out for that reason alone. But I suspect he's actually a very needy man. I guess he feels a need to apologise for and belittle the place he came from. And in that sense, I suppose we should pity the tosser.

Sitting on the fence re JC I see there, BST? ;)
-
I don't see the need to take it so seriously, it's fun and that's what you should make of it.
Is that what you'd say to the people who actually live on the Falkland Islands? You know, the people who have to deal with being next-door to Argentina 24/7 and have to live with the outcome from this when Clarkson and his chums are safely back in Chipping Norton where it doesn't affect them in the slightest? Should we tell them to just lighten up and enjoy the jolly japery of it too?
-
He's lived in ther Isele of Man for several years now Glyn.
Why is almost everyone in this country these days unwilling to allow someone to express their views? I thiought that was what we are supposed to be here to 'defend'? Whether you agree or disagree with what he sayss, what he does and what he is, it's his business. Not ours. If he makes out he's a Kitson, what's the matter with that? Just form your view and deal with him accordingly.
And BFYP is right. The script is not written by presenters. Yes they adapt it into their own language - hence JC's ridiculous right wing crap - but the concept, the plan and the decision making has sod all to do with them. Presenters, of almost any programme, are fairly low down in the food chain. So blaming JC for programme concept and philosophy simply demonstrates the ignorance with which many view him.
Love him or hate him. That's up to you. But he's only following the tradition of centuries in this country. Why do so many want to bring that to an end? If I could be a little hyperbolic about it, this, along with many, many other things, suggests this country is progressing increasingly rapidly along the path towards fascism.

My philosophy is that I support someone's right to say whatever they want. And to take the consequences, which might include a smack in the gob from the people you offend.

Well I know someone who fought in the war there and subsequently has returned to work there a few times - his views of the Argentinians are not positive and from what he says on the matter, the islanders would have much worse to say about the Argentinians then anything in last night's episode of Top Gear.
The Argentine football team has paraded with banners on their opinion of the islands. I'm no fan of that, sport and football should be seperate, however we didn't see hundreds of youths turning up at Sergio Aguero's house to hound him out did we?

I'm sure what you say is true, the point I'm making is that I don't think the perpetrators of this have had one thought beyond what they obviously thought was a spiffing wheeze, and left other people to pick up the pieces whilst they walk away. Those who say 'just lighten up' appear to have that mindset too - have a laugh and damn the consequences.
-
Clarkson actually has quite a lot of control over Top Gear.
After the BBC cancelled the original show it was Clarkson and his old school pal Andy Wilman who pitched the new format. Wilman is executive producer and he works closely with Clarkson.
This is why Clarkson earned so much more from the show than his two co-presenters. They sold the rights to the new format Top Gear to the Beeb recently, earning Clarkson and his mate a fortune.
-
JC is a top bloke who says it as it is (not quite as much as he used to because the lefties are there ready to pounce on anything they can that might get him in trouble in our politically correct world). He hasn't got a problem with this part of the world. He is one of our finest sons and puts us on the map. He does though have a problem with the way the area has been run into the ground by successive left wing Labour councils and governments. I'm glad he speaks up about that. It needs to change.
Anyway the Argentina trip was meant to build bridges not take the piss. Top Gear were trying to use the huge popularity of the show to mend some bridges with the Argies. They were going to play a game of car football. Unfortunately the argy bargy that went on before this due to some politically correct nutjob not seeing the funny side of a number plate made this impossible.
Just makes you appreciate what a tolerant country we live in. Top Argentinian footballers get no grief here. Imagine if a top English player wanted to play in Argentina. It just wouldn't happen.
-
Maybe we should send ched over there
-
Maybe we should send ched over there
And Mick?
-
They got it wrong with this joke IMO. They knew fine well the significance. A lot of people on both sides lost their lives and this was alwaysvlikely to provoke hostility. Admittedly, the Argentinian authorities should have done more to protect their exit, but they overstepped the mark.
-
Jeremy Clarkson puts us on the map? Really?
-
Jeremy Clarkson puts us on the map? Really?
Yes...I clearly remember him putting Doncaster on the map as that town where everybody has bad teeth and the local football team hilariously can't beat Frickley Miners Welfare
I don't think the Ordnance Survey made that update, though

That's called having the ability to laugh at yourself. Something lefties find very difficult to do.

I'd be grateful if you could prove your comment. Shouldn't be too hard to find 10 articles. Evidence man. Where is it? I thought you prided yourself on backing up your fatuous statements.

Just watched the show on catch up they deserved a bloody good hiding particularly that Moron Clarkson with his Falklands Quits
What an idiot!

Betting slip and purple helmet spring to mind.
-
Well I've looked everywhere and can't find where JC has slagged off his roots. Maybe some of Billy's mates can help him out and prove what Billy is saying is true.
I've also got more evidence of JC putting us on the map. Has no one heard of Paddington Bear? JC was the first person to have a Paddington Bear toy.
Paddington Bears were first created in JC's Doncaster home.
The early models were handmade by JC's parents in a small factory, latterly known as the Bear Garden, in Doncaster.
Paddington Bear is world famous. Thanks to JC, Doncaster is now world famous.
-
People on here aren't interested in bear facts, unless it suits.
-
I watch top gear because I find it entertaining, not for motoring news. JC plays the prick on the show but I don't know him personally to judge him.
However I challenge the assertion that Thanks to JC, Doncaster is now world famous.
I never see a big promotion for Doncaster via JC on top gear?
Doncaster is more famous for it's industry (in years gone by) and for the horse racing.
-
He did a marvelous job of promoting South Yorkshire during the Top Gear Reliant Robin episode. He has also promoted Rotherham as a top holiday destination. I think the programme was known as The Last Resort.
-
Neither of those examples promoted Doncaster specifically though.
If I wasn't already aware, watching top gear would give me no idea where JC is from.
-
Good on him it was a bit of fun,why are we so politically correct in this country,don't say this in case we offend them and stuff it's pathetic,the Argentinians would not think twice about doing something like this,the crew who went over there will have known about this and new the risks which I think were prob quite minimal
-
What's the next 'bit of fun'? Filming in Israel with a NAZ1 plate, perhaps? Ribtickling stuff, I'm sure you'd agree.
-
We are a country full of people who doth protest too much in an attempt to emphasize their squeaky clean, nothing but do good image.
-
I personally think Clarkson is brilliant, he is very clever in his humour and its very funny.
I enjoy it even more because the pathetic loony left bed wetting brigade get in such a frenzy over it. 😆
But what I cant understand is why get so worked up over nothing?
Its brilliant.

As I said. He's a bell end making obvious, second-rate humour which appeals to certain people. Case in point here...
Every generation has stars who make a fortune by serving up shit, stereotyping humour which appeals to people who find shit stereotyping humour hilarious, and which looks quaintly thick to future generations.
People used to roll in the aisles at Jim Davidson doing the Chalky White act. Ho-ho-ho. All blacks are pimps with weird accents chucking hilarious and deeply perceptive humour. Clarkson's a chip from the same block.
-
Let's get one thing straight. JC is very intelligent, very witty and very humorous. The reason you lefties hate him is because he is very right wing. That's the only reason.
-
BST.
Who used to make you laugh back in the 70's?
-
Eric Morecambe, Ronnie Barker, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Frankie Howerd, Tommy Cooper, Leonard Rossiter, Spike Milligan, Arthur Lowe
You?
-
Most of them you mention, and also Jim Davidson among others.
Davidson's act was no more racist than Leonards Rossiter's Rigsby. And was no more offensive towards black people than John Cleese was towards people with limps, Eric Morecambe towards people against same sex bed sharers, Ronnie Barker towards people with stammers, Frankie Howerd towards sexism, Tommy Cooper towards serious magicians or Graham Chapman towards Yorkshiremen living in shoe boxes, or Christians for suggesting Jesus was really called Brian.
-
Humour has to be put in context. What was funny in the 1970's may now appear offensive to us in the present day. Allowances have to be made.
I caught a bit of the 'Battle of Britain' film the other day and couldn't believe it when a dog in it was called the 'n' word. That was his name and it was perfectly acceptable back then to name your dog this if it was black. Fair play to the BBC for not editing this out. Imagine these days the looks of horror if you went out with your black dog and had named it the 'n' word and was shouting here 'n' fetch the ball.
What about Fawlty Towers. IMHO the finest comedy series there has ever been. Judged by today's standards a lot of it would now be classed as politically incorrect and racist. Like I say, you lefties need to put things in context and stop having double standards and being so serious about everything. You'd feel a lot better for it.

No. I didn't remotely suggest that anyone who disagrees with me is talking b*llocks.
However, I DID say that if you say something that Mick likes, chances are you're talking b*llocks.

Hang on. I've lost the thread here. A few posts ago, you were complaining that people who complain at idle, offensive stereotyping humour were po-faced do-gooders.

Hang on a minute. There was no reference to Mick in your original inflammatory post. 'I reckon you can assess when someone is talking complete b*llocks' is totally different to 'I DID say that if you say something Mick likes chances are that you're talking b*llocks.'
Get an abject apology sorted and we'll say no more about it.

I'm still waiting for your 'evidence'. Look, I'll make it easier for you. I'll drop the number required to 5 from 10. You don't have to do them all at once. 1 a week will do. Just do me a favour and get on with it man. I'll even let your leftie mates help out. I can't be fairer than that.
