Oh Dam I used to be a Morris Dancer and I'm an Ex-Pat. Thank god we moved to the US, at least I've grown. Pity it's only around the middle.

That’s why they call us whingeing poms. Because the poms they get do nothing else.
I think he's nailed that one

Just tends to confirm my opinion of him...the perfect example of a Public School Tosser who has come to believe his own press...a legend in his own lunch-time.

Not being from the UK I don`t know Jeremy Clarkson as well as many here. What I do remember though, is that I have seen his car show several times and the whole thing seems to be just geared up hahahaha, to making him look as funny and as great as possible. The audience along with his sidekicks seem to laugh at his every whim and very unfunny jokes..........The whole thing seems like some sad charade for a man that needs constant attention.

In fact the only great thing about the show is the classic John McVie bass line on the the theme tune but one doesn`t need to watch the show to enjoy it.

I find him funny. He's very good at tapping into the Little Englander mentality and making fun of it.

Only competition I see for such an accolade is Pierce Morgan...truly a 'Nob' of the first order....That even JC would struggle to aspire too...though it would be a close run thing...

Another load of self-indulgent Clarkson Crap........blowing hot air out of his orifices in an attempt to be amusing; I wonder exactly how many ex-pats he has spoken to?

He is funny - but he is a tosser who can only drive fast on an empty track - so dont take anything he says too seriously !!

Ah, that's where you and I differ.....I don't find him funny at all........ever! I never have taken anything he's uttered as seriously as he does.
