Are we REALLY a nation of b******s...?

[sp1814]

Or are people simply giving Mr Clarkson a bit of his own medicine, humour-wise?

sp ?

[ummmm]

I wouldn't go that far. At least any forum where you converse with other people.

For ages I thought it was called Twatter..............

[sp1814]

Sorry Mick-Talbot, I was otherwise engaged.

Do I think Jeremy Clarkson is a racist? For calling his dog Whoopi?

To be honest, I only found that out yesterday.

I couldn't say one way or the other.

I place him in the same group as Chris Evans and Chris Moyles. I simply think he's boorish.

[Mick-Talbot]

Your answer to Baldrics post seemed to insuate otherwise.

I assumed as you were posting elsewhere on the site, you were thinking carefully about your reply.



I take it that you don't actually think his dog won an Oscar ?

[andy-hughes]

Yet again I find myself mystified by the actions of others.

I have no time for the concepts of Facebook or Twitter, and would immagine that anyone who uses them would be subject to the same vagiaries as all other users - anyone can say what they want to whom they want.

That's fine if you accept it as a given, but to post personal information as a public figure and then take issue with the nonsense that follows smacks of attention-seeking naivity.

Since I perceive Mr Clarkson to be not at all naiive, althogh utterly attenion-seeking, I cannot believe that he is in any way surprised to find the level of vitrol that has poured into his computer.

Nonsense begats nonsense - but it does sell papers.

[Mick-Talbot]

Baldric.

Was JC not being racist by naming a Black Labrador Whoopi after black actress Whoopi Golgberg?


Why do you think he was being racist?

[Mick-Talbot]

andy, it is not 'attention-seeking naivety'
In this case case I believe it to be 'calculated attention-seeking'

[emmie]

umm, no you just don't need to put all the personal stuff out there. This site is a good example, if you want people to know your business fine, but most don't, so they say little. In his case i am not sure why he thinks everyone is a bstard, seeing not everyone knows who he is, or perhaps cares.

This from the man who said "I ran over a fox last week, I could have swerved to avoid it , I chose not to." What goes around, comes around!

[sandyRoe]

Clarkson seems to be a man who has based his entire career on being obnoxious. As you sow, and all that.

[Duncer]

Quite, and he was so bereaved that he was conducting an experiment. I'm sorry his dog died, but he is a pudding.

[spotit3]

Why does Clarkie think we are remotely interested in his dog? Would he be interested in ours? Why do celebs have to twitter mindlessly about the minutiae of their lives. I think most of them would need to go and get a life!

[ummmm]

I think most of them have a life better than most of us.

[spotit3]

Depends what you mean by a life, ummm. Cetainly lots more money than most of us but woudn't agree they have a better life. They never seem to be happy unless they are moaning about something.

[ummmm]

Many of these people get paid for their views. Most of us moan for free but have a much smaller audience.

[Duncer]

Most ABer's are not utter Joy-sticks - Clarkson is!

Errr...no, my answer to Baldric was a joke because Whoopi Goldberg won an Oscar for her role in 'Ghost' (Best Supporting Actress).

How did you infer an accusation of racism from that???
