Clarkson suspended by the BBC

[Oh Carol]

He displayed almost Neanderthal behaviour, similar to the stereotypical view of how men used to behave back in the 1960s.

 

No dinner on the table when you stumble home from the boozer after spending all day dhan't pit?

 

Slap the missus!

Probably a good job the pits are gone then!

Rock stars, particularly talented ones are supposed to act like that.

 

When Jagger became a member of the MCC I was personally disgusted, but as I always rated the Beatles and The Who above the Stones I survived.

 

Clarksons talent is as a writer, don't know if you've read any of his stuff in the Times but he's good, apart from he spoils it a bit at times by his constant urge to be controversial.

 

As a 'personality' I find him irritating, boorish schoolboy pranks and childish humour do not appeal to me.

 

Obviously others disagree and that is entirely their prerogative.

 

I assume you are attempting to be humorous with the ' poor lad from Donny ' remark?

 

Jeremys mother made a substantial amount of money from manufacturing Paddington bears and the family had money prior to that.

 

Privately educated our Jeremy has never wanted for anything and there's nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

 

His childhood home.

Very nice and not bad for a poor Donny lad.

....."Privately educated our Jeremy has never wanted for anything and there's nothing wrong with that whatsoever."

 

Why mention it then?

Funny

[Mecky]

It comes to something when elements of the UK society hold up the likes of Clarkson and Farage as some kind of working class heroes, which are both most definitely not and their actions are seen as an acceptable loutish way of getting one over the establishment. They are the establishment, up there in the public eye and should know better. The perception that they can do and say what they want without having to face the music as you and I would is the reason that the old British spirit of playing with a straight bat and justice for all is now considered a universal joke and the reason the UK is becoming more isolated.

 

People seem to think that speaking your mind is now a green light to insult and personally abuse other people hence the rise of such repulsive characters such as Katy Hopkins and Myleene Klass etc. Telling it as they see it is not an excusable free pass to put down or belittle others; it’s just a more fashionable word for bullying and because the UK public see such public figures acting like that they think it’s acceptable behaviour, which it most certainly isn’t. Some people are even foolish enough to copy their behaviour. All it does is drive away your friends, suppliers and customers and that’s not the way to get a head in the world. Nobody can ever do it all on their own; people will always need other people.

Well said, Mecky. There is a fine line between 'not suffering fools gladly' and being downright rude, brattish, anti-social and objectionable.

 

Clarkson crossed that line a long time ago.

I take back everything I said condemning JC for punching someone. If I was expecting a meal lined up at Simonstone Hall and didn't get it I'd be very cross. I've been there a few times.The food is terrific along with the service and the wine.

[aliceBB]

'The food is terrific along with the service and the wine.

 

Obviously not terrific enough for JC

[rockonvynil]

In a top london hotel would they have a chef on call twentyfour hours a day,or would they go home at eight and stuff the paying guests,i think he was right to complain but wrong to assault a member of the production staff .

[RonJeremy]

Obviously not terrific enough for JC

 

I've been working all day, Have I missed something?

 

He wanted a meal, the chef went home, he didn't get his steak. That's what I heard?

 

I don't understand your rolly eyes comment?

It's not a top London hotel. It's a pleasant country hotel in the middle of nowhere.

My sarcasm was directed at Clarkson's attitude. As I said, first world problems...

Thats the point he is used to high class service.
