Botswana on now (Dave ja Vue), followed by Winter Olympics, North Pole, then Thailand.

Who's going to be the first to 'suspect' that the Union person was an immigrant?

You!

The casual stories are being built upon casual stories! No wonder we can mentally get to whatever destination we want.

1) There are "rumours" a Union person threatened to get involved.

2) Union people are left-wing and therefore bad.

3) I "suspect" this Union person also leaked (why?) the 'Eenie meenie miney mo' tape.

4) Very possibly the person who advised Mr Tymon to go to A&E.

A quite possibly fictitious person to assign some blame to. Brilliant.

My understanding is that the above person could well have asked the hotel chef to go home for the night. Could it be that he was also eating a chateaubriand with some fava beans when the hapless and hungry JC hove into view?

The treacherous devil....

I don't think that the bloke he "chinned" had anything at all to do with it. After all, he refused to give any evidence to the police. Third party evidence suggests that they actually get on pretty well.

There are rumours that the union rep threatened to escalate the matter, and so Clarkson decided to report the incident himself.

Union reps are usually a bit "lefty", so I suspect that this idiot was the person who leaked the "eenie meenie mineey mo..." tape.

We're through the looking glass here, people

Seen that before. It is the conclusive formula for Politically Correctness permeating certain UK Broadcasting Corporations.

Aye which as we know was all Thatcher's fault.

[TheEnd]

Yep, Thatcher's fault, the Union rep's fault, the producer's fault for not moving out of the way, the BBC's fault for allowing Clarkson to drink, infact the UK as a whole shares some responsibility for Clarkson's actions, poor old Jeremy has just been a victim of everyone else who have not allowed him to do whatever he wants.

Clarkson should be due compensation for being sacked can't call it sacked, it was non renewal of a contract.

My understanding is that JC will be suing Tymon for head butting his fist.

Any evidence to back up your ridiculuos position?

Thought not.

If I was a smug,sneering, sanctimonious leftie, I would chuck in a here (and probably manage to fit the word "hysterical" in). I would then give myself a pat on the back for being so clever(and sooooo compassionate towards those who are less fortunate than I).

Will gut feeling, rumours, innuendo, and vague remarks about union reps suffice?

Here's a just for you.

Can you not see that you did exactly what I said a smug, sneering, sanctimonious lefty would do?

You chucked in a .

Oh dear!

Arthur Scargill saved Britain from economic collapse.

Just look at how many miners' jobs he saved.

Just think what the country could have achieved if Michael Foot had become Prime Minister? Britain would have been the car manufacturing centre of the world economy, would it not?


I've never understood why we threw up the chance to have Neil Kinnock as Prime Minister. Just Imagine how big Britain's banking sector would be today if your hero, Neil, had been able to take the helm for just 5 years.



And, of course, if Kinnock had become Prime Minister, then we would have a fantastic shipbuilding industry on Merseyside.

I try REALLY hard to avoid watching Russell Brand, but I had to check this one, just for the record.

I have to say it changed my thoughts about Russell Brand. I no longer think we should put him in a box and drop it into the South Atlantic....

No, we must first NAIL THE BOX TOP DOWN, then drop it into the South Atlantic...
