To not be at all surprised to hear about the latest celeb affair?

DH was quite surprised to hear about Jeremy Clarkson, but I wasnt. Not at all, infact I am surprised to hear if a famous man hasnt had an affair at some point.

They are famous, rich and away from home alot so are bound to be targetted by a certain type of woman. Also, alot of them are cossetted and looked after to the point where they believe that they can get away with things that us mere mortals cant, despite the fact that the paps are following them all the time.

Am I cynical as DH suggests or is he niave?!

Urgh - thanks for clarifying.

I thought it was a reference to bumming, or summat.

Its well known about the crisp loving ex footballer. I know at least two girls he has tried it on with.

I havent got a clue who AT or GB is and Im on nights tonight so dont feel like stressing myself out guessing who they might .

TSC the crisp selling lothario with the jug ears and mighty talent with a ball was a common knowledge for years and years in the journo world apparently. It was said that this certain person would shag anything in a skirt but that he was such a good ambassador for his occupation at a time when some of the followers of that occupation were ruining this country's reputation abroad that it was worth keeping quiet about it.

That came to me from a friend who is a well-known journo in a popular rag tabloid.

Lucky buggers!

Oops! Who said that? :o

In his original professional capacity (ie not as a crisp seller) said jug-ears was a hero of mine. Still is, come to that, he had a remarkable talent.

Never met him so I dunno tbh TSC, but then again I like Clarkson so what kind of a judge am I? :o

(Disclaimer: I'm a petrol-head, ex motor trade vegetarian who doesn't take offence at JC's shoot the veggies, sod the ozone layer humour and I have& met him a few times. Found him incredibly polite and charming, surprisingly, as well as bloody funny).

You don't have to have met him to know that he's a SMF. (my new favourite TLA)

My DH is 47 this year and thankfully doesn't look anywhere near as old as fugly Clarkson.

On reflection, perhaps people who like Clarksons public personna think all husbands and wives have affairs.

JC does not exactly come across as the Next vicar of Richmond Hill, does he?

If any of this is true then I think that the thing that will really hurt Clarkson's wife is the fact that Hammond and May must have known all about it and kept it quiet. After Hammond's near-fatal accident some years ago the Clarksons were very good to the Hammonds and I expect that Jeremy Clarkson's wife would feel she's owed a little bit more loyalty than that.

Which does suggest it could all be bollocks. And to be honest, would you trust the Sunday Mirror?

The evidence looks strong (And the mirror has lawyers)

Just in case JC issues a denial or writ we should stop posting. (Dont hold your breath on that one)

I was going to suggest it might be a Blue Peter presenter too...

"Likes his bananas greener than most..." Like Bill Wyman and Roman Polanski, you mean? Blimey. Not heard that expression before.

LineRunner - why would they have known about it?
If it is true ( and I doubt many people give a toss either way ) JC wouldn't necessarily be shouting about it to his work mates.

Serious question. I suppose a wife with a rich husband could agree to a limited number of affairs? (Or even a husband)


So, we must not necessarily make assumptions about who is being "let down" in these times of wall-to-wall sex

As I once wrote jokingly

The Sex olympics.

In the kitchen, in the hall
Up against the graden wall

Try it swinging from a flex;
if you like high-voltage sex.

( the women who inspired that, did not get the joke) She may have been too busy shaggin to be laughing.
