Or mêlée, or brouhaha, or contretemps, depending on taste.

So entitled op...

Might you be suspended from MNHQ Towers for the mere suggestion?

Is this about Jeremy Clarkson? Confused I think I've missed the point

The80sweregreat · 10/03/2015 20:19

Yep, Jeremy Clarkson in a fracas with one of the producers of Top Gear. Im sure the reason will be plastered over the daily mail or mirror soon enough.. Trouble is, now they cant hack mobiles anymore it may not be the full story! I know nothing about cars, but always watched it as I just think its a laugh and the star in the car is usually good. I remember Angela Rippon n Tiff someone doing it , its come a long way since then!

Frankly, i'd be worried about how much sugar was in said fracas and whether or not it was made from scratch for under £2.

Owllady · 10/03/2015 21:30

We use agave nectar

cleanmyhouse · 10/03/2015 21:42

Good lord! All that fructose!

Owllady · 10/03/2015 21:49

:o lol

Crocodopolis · 10/03/2015 22:39

My fracas can feed my entire family for a week. Of course, that's because I don't have a huge telly.

LuisSuarezTeeth · 10/03/2015 23:08

A fracas is significantly more interesting than a ruck or fisticuffs.

I suspect Mr Clarkson may have told the producer to move in a forward direction whilst attempting procreation in earnest.

The utter bounder!

PrettyFeet · 10/03/2015 23:16

YANBU... as usual there are the terribly underhand smart comments or there are the Oh do fuck offs going on. I actually think none of them are funny. I seriously think that things have become out of control here. There is not one thread where people talk to each in a reasonable manner.

No a fracas isnt a good thing.

I have never ever in my life known a beast to become so out of control and yes I do say to the people that run this site to actually take note now. Its becoming a nasty place to be.

BlackeyedSusan · 10/03/2015 23:18
Grin

not heard fisticuffs for ages.

PrettyFeet · 10/03/2015 23:23

I hoped it would be a place of solace in an ever increasingly confusing world. A place where one could actually speak freely. It is not that, its become a place where everyone is frightened actually say anything at all for fear of being told they are arseholes or cunts in a very "controlled" manner. I will continue to say what I want, get kicked off because the same people again and again start shouting abuse when actually they are the abusers!

LittleBearPad · 10/03/2015 23:27

You ok Pretty?

PrettyFeet · 10/03/2015 23:27

Im even going to have to say I missed out a word now... to..

You really really need to stop these smart arsed bullies and yes you are bullies.

Everything is smug on here, everything is a titter, everything is disgustingly underhand.

PrettyFeet · 10/03/2015 23:29

Im fine thank you. I no longer respect any persons views on here and that is sad. Its a nasty place to be.

NeedsAsockamnesty · 10/03/2015 23:30

And there I was thinking that it had mellowed a bit recently

PrettyFeet · 10/03/2015 23:31

Really?
