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 dislike Jeremy Clarkson and the whole 'who gives a shit about the environment, let's all drive fast cars and knock over cyclists' attitude, but I still love Top Gear. You can't take it seriously

My Dad calls the presenters of top gear 'a bunch of overgrown schoolboys' which i agree.

didn't hammond put his family through it twice?

yabu

Well that's his family's business isn't it? No worse than journalists who report from war zones IMO.

snarf - splitting hairs

oops snaf

Would I be really splitting hairs if I pointed out my name's not snarf?

Put his family through it twice???

Once with high speed impact of car and tarmac, followed by grass etc

What else did he do?

Oh! I know. The fluffy haircut!

Shaniece I have to say for someone who professes to hate TG you know an awful lot about it & it's presenters??!

ANd all thoses others who say what a load of old waddle it is...you obviously watch it to be able to comment in so much detail.

YANBU......but

IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT LEAVE THE ROOM!!!

Its my guilty pleasure.

too much wine

No really.

What was the second thing?

"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"

Exactly.

not a fan here either...

Love it- love the fact they can all laugh at themselves, and don't take themselves at all seriously. And I missed the America one- and dh said it was hilarious (until I see it Botswana remains a fave).

Bossy britches - I whinge cos I am virtually made to sit through it.

i.e. DP loves it and I my friend am too tired to shift my fat ar*e off the sofa once it's actually found somewhere confy to sit down for more than 5 mintues when the dc's are in bed!

I agree the haircut was a step too far.

Actually that American one WAS funny

I have watched it on occaision when flicking through but invariably end up flicking past as they annoy me.

Hammond rolled a little van thing didn't he- and crashed in that race track thing where they were racing for 24 hours or whatever. I don't think someone has too be all dour because they cheated death and brain injury though!

"Shaniece I have to say for someone who professes to hate TG you know an awful lot about it & it's presenters??!"

My DH watches it all the time whilst i am on the laptop - so i guess i know whats going on . I can assure you, I am not a fan of the show.

right now i will have to look on bbc iplayer thingy to see what the american one was like and retain my positive view of easywriter!! (it is on bbc isn't it??!)

hpw does that iplayer work?

you just go the site and press play on the prog you want to watch..its just a flash player...you dont need any fancy software or anything
