Jeremy Clarkson suspended by BBC...
Discussion
Saw a photo of him the other day and he looked really old. Gone are the days of Performance Car and now he's better off actually testing a new caravan with a nice cup of tea rather than dropping one from a crane.
He was never the best of drivers and now he is old a saggy. Time to move on.

ISWYM and he is showing his age, maybe he should have work done as they say.
However he's still got his faculties, insofar as his detractors will allow him to ever have had any, and going strong for a saggy old git.

Problem was when they were doing that oversteer thing at Brunters they got in a paid driver as he and captain slow and the small one were never up for the task. So cut to Jeremy's face, cut to someone else driving a car at 10 tenths, back to Jeremy ..wooooaa.. cut to someone not doing a wooooaaa face.
here he is in better times where he wasn't out of his depth holding that round thing called a steering wheel

Tiff is still doing it as well and does not look like your grandpa

Is the diatribe that constant? I think there is quite a bit of it about but I don't know how exposed we all are to it. On Twitter for example there is lots of it and in the last 12 months there seems to have been a lot of discussion about the whole gender thing, which is not of much interest to me so I have not read up on it.
If you read something like the Guardian you would no doubt be exposed to more of this but I think we all tends to read stuff that confirms our own bias don't we? So I don't read that, although their business section is very good.
I am just not seeing this "constant diatribe" or PC gone mad etc. I read the daily mail now and again for a laugh and could see how that could twist someone's views if they didn't get out much. But I do question how exposed we really are. I think PH occasionally gets its knickers in a twist about stuff that doesn't even touch most people's life.
Most people enjoy stability and look for support for their selected conclusions rather than have the confidence to relish a challenge. For the most part PC culture, eco-fanatism, are just the new religions that feed people the guidelines they have always craved, the ability to feel superior to the next guy. There have always been people who can see past the tosh, but mostly people just argue one load of tosh against another and are only receptive to the flaws of their opponents brand of tosh. The only reason the whole PC thing bugs me is that it's so transparently hypocritical, deeply flawed and in many ways regressive, but then I guess most religions are pretty damn stupid too.If you read something like the Guardian you would no doubt be exposed to more of this but I think we all tends to read stuff that confirms our own bias don't we?

Definitely not like my grandpa. As you just set me up for a shameless namedrop it would be mean to pass up on it. Arriving back from a hard day at the cutting edge of industrial captaincy - as painted by one of my ardent detractors in another thread - the first Mrs TB announced that there was a message by the phone from Tiffany Dell.Tiff is still doing it as well and does not look like your grandpa
Aye.

Clarkson & co were never about being "great" drivers, think about why the anonymous stig character might exist when they could have had any number of big dick hero personalities.Problem was when they were doing that oversteer thing at Brunters they got in a paid driver as he and captain slow and the small one were never up for the task.

vraiment it is.
The Rockall Times used to be a good waste of time (powered by yeast logic).
Spoof news is as old as...well, news really.
I still have a copy of 'Not The Times' in the loft somewhere - published in 197? when the paper went on strike for months...prompting some cheeky chappies to punt this version (headline - 'Should we arm the football hooligans?' and some pointed reference to the editor of the Telegraph at the time).
