to hate the programme top gear?

[Shaniece]

a bunch of adult men acting like little kids turns my stomach. More worrying is my DH watches the pile of crap.

I love it, and I love JC's columns in the Times too. It is his sarcasm and his humour. Makes me

cant stand it, its so srcipted and "look at me " and "catch my eye" poncy rubbish.

I have to say, I agree with stripeymama and shaniece...its awful, juvenile twaddle and I'd like to smack jeremy clarkson in the gob!Esp since he promotes the "lets all hate cyclists" thing....arse.

Clarkson has no points on his licence - the speeding on the program is all off road, in a controlled environment

I love it. It makes me laugh A LOT. Very little TV does that.

And whilst I agree that Jeremy Clarkson is a Marmite bloke (love him or hate him) one thing he is not is sexist. He never slates women, and if you read his books he never cracks jokes about women drivers.

But no, YANBU to hate TG. Life would be dull if we all liked the same things. I detest soaps and think the people that watch them regularly are tedious.

"I have to say, I agree with stripeymama and shaniece...its awful, juvenile twaddle and I'd like to smack jeremy clarkson in the gob!Esp since he promotes the "lets all hate cyclists" thing....arse."

Bizarre thing is, my DH is a cyclist and still loves Clarkson and his gang .

That is bizarre! must be in a minority...my dh a cyclist too. Clarkson is like a big old boorish bully imo! (ducks before clarkson lovers attack!!)

Anyone who takes anything Jeremy Clarkson says even remotely seriously needs to have a word with themselves.

I think its a testosterone-driven pile of shite!
Am very surprised that my DH can bear to watch it.
Cannot stand any of the presenters, esp the fat one - Jeremy Clarkson, he is truly obnoxious and awful!

Ah that old turnip....."he's only joking"

i think one either likes that very obvious humour or not. i don't, but not my reason for laothing. it is the encouragement of viewers to speed and generally behave badly that pisses me off.

How could you not ROFL at the sight of Clarkson folded up into the Peel P50 microcar, driving around the Top Gear Office?

Not interested in cars. At all.

But love watching TG, reminds me of my male friends messing about. I really like the fact that it is something on tv which is not aimed at girls, where (admittedly often totally pathetic) male humour can reign.

same old same old...every single week..

DH also watches 'Fifth Gear' (for VBH I reckon) - and that is dull. But Top Gear makes me laugh. A lot.

Well I think YABU - because I love it

its the worst side of maleness imo and agreed fishie, the encouragement of stupid behaviour pisses me off

YANBU

Clarkson!!! [makes me wanna puke emoticon]

Cars! [Bored sh*tless emoticon]

My idea of hell.

Easywriter=makes me rofl

Clarkson et al = makes me want to eat my own eyeballs out my head then I dont have to watch them

pinkmook - i like you and agree obv

Why thank you Shaniece...I think you have excellent opinions too![mutual appreciation emoticon]

YANBU, Dont mind a programme about cars but they are a bunch of kids presenting it. FFS the fact that one of them nearly died hasnt even prevented their juvenile and crass presenting.

Another non-driver here who loves it! If they were only half as 'boorish' they'd be easy to take seriously but as it is, anyone who genuinely thinks its ok to copy them needs their head testing! I do feel for Hammond's family a bit but a lot of people in dangerous entertaining jobs have families that have to put up with it, those 3 are no better or worse than many others.

as an aside..one of my friends actually fancies clarkson wtf!!?

Pinkmook - I didn't say he was only joking. I said don't take him seriously. Not the same thing at all.
