Sadder than that, I'm a bit soft for James May. I think it's because he likes all the things my DS1 likes. Hornby, Cars, Lego.

YabVu I love top gear and despite Jeremy making many many blunders sometimes I can't help thinking that he is right (NOT the racist stuff obviously) but speed cameras/bus lanes on motorways etc, when things like that are concerned he usually says what I'm thinking!

YABU. Nobody is allowed to speak while it is on in this house. Grin I love it, the specials are great, my favourite being the North pole one.

imoanruby · 12/02/2012 09:29

YABU it's great.

Sparklingbrook · 12/02/2012 09:30

hiddenhome start watching it-you may be converted. Grin I used to hate,hate,hate Big Bang Theory but DH loved it. Now it's my favourite programme. Smile

TwoStepsBack · 12/02/2012 09:32

YABU

I love it.

The challenges are pure genius. Mini down a ski slope, cars crossing the channel, caravan conkers, self built motorhomes (I actually cried laughing at that one) and many more.

And then the specials...... need I go on?

YANBU. Definitely not bu!

I used to enjoy it until they did that stupid stunt where they ended up totally trashing some pristine wilderness area in Botswana.
It's all so scripted and set up, too. I think that they are trying hard to be "shocking" but it just comes across to me as hackneyed and artificial.
And Jeremy Clarkson really is a prize eejit.

JeewizzJen · 12/02/2012 12:28

YANBU. Can't bear it!

cardibach · 12/02/2012 12:32

Don't like Clarkson.
Not interested in cars except in regard to whether they get me to work/shop/pub.
However, I enjoy Top Gear, so YABU.

Sparklingbrook · 12/02/2012 12:36

What cardibach said --but I quite like JC and heart James May.

hiddenhome watch an episode, and see what you think then.

hiddenhome · 12/02/2012 16:56

It's on all the time in the lounge because dh watches it. I'm fully aware of its content Sad This is why I'm so bloody sick of it.

Sparklingbrook · 12/02/2012 17:01

hidden, I will swap you. We have wall to wall football on round here. Sad I am waiting for 8pm for Top Gear to be on. Grin

hiddenhome · 12/02/2012 17:02

Our lounge is the only room in the house that's heated, so I have to stay in there unless I want to freeze to death. I wish he would stop watching it.
