Anything that bbc staff need to be made aware of can be mentioned on the bbc pov television messageboards.

Andy, your anti-car bigotry and hair-trigger anger are, ironically, the one thing you repeatedly rant about in car drivers.

You hate cars, everything to do with cars, and believe cars should be kept off the road. We get that, really we do.

Substitute cars for bikes in that sentence above and you'll hopefully see what I mean about the irony of your position

It's ridiculous: the guy makes a poor joke and you're screaming 'incitement to violence'. Really?

You need to get a grip, you really do.

So, do you watch Mock the Week, or did you have to go out of your way to track this down on the net so that you could be offended?

Just last night on Top Gear he said to Alistair Campbell "But come one mate, you believe what you say [polictics/spin etc] just about as much as I really believe what I write"

So even he admits that he's somehow just a caricature of himself.

Bails - saw that. Very true - he says what he says for entertainment - and he entertains well. Loved the intro about Campbell (who started out writing naughty stories for 'Forum' magazine): "A man who has spent most of his life working with peni$es."

They have great fun winding up people who take themsleves a bit too seriously . A mate of mine who thinks I've gone a bit nuts over cycling sent me this link, had to laugh:-

Always liked the paedofinder general, both as a sketch AND as a statement.

Let's relax a bit....here are a few of the best one liners from the one and only JC (Jeremy Clarkson) . Should have the Beeb's complaints department scratching their heads wondering why the switchboard is suddenly besieged by a 'Mr. Angry' from Manchester At least it'll keep him occupied for a bit.

"I'm sorry, but having a DB9 on the drive and not driving it is a bit like having Keira Knightley in your bed and sleeping on the couch. If you've got even half a scrotum it's not going to happen."


"We start tonight with the highlight of my childhood. It's the Ladybird Book of Motorcars from 1963, and as you would imagine it's full of rubbish really. Just endless boring grey shapes, until you get to page 40, where you find the Maserati 3500 GT. Now this for me, when I was little, was like kind of Jordan and Cameron Diaz. In a bath together. With a Lightning jet fighter. And lots of jelly."


About the Porsche Cayman S: "There are many things I'd rather be doing than driving it, including waiting for Bernard Manning to come off stage in a sweaty nightclub, and then licking his back clean."


..."the last time someone was as wrong as you, was when a politician stepped off an aeroplane in 1938 waving a piece of paper in the air saying there will be no war with Germany"


"America: 250 million w * nkers living in a country with no word for w * nker"


On the Alfa Romeo Brera... "I only have to imagine this in black, with tan leather and I'm nursing a semi!"


Illustrating the lack of power of a Boxster - 'It couldn't pull a greased stick out of a pig's bottom'


"The Suzuki Wagon R should be avoided like unprotected sex with an Ethiopian transvestite"

"Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary... That's what gets you."

'The air conditioning in Lambos used to be an asthmatic sitting in the dashboard blowing at you through a straw'

"Koenigsegg are saying that the CCX is more comfortable. More comfortable than what... BEING STABBED?"

"The only person to ever look good in the back of a 4-seater convertible was Adolf Hitler"

(Fed up during the caravanning trip): "You aren't allowed to have a party, you aren't allowed to have music, you aren't allowed to play ball games, you aren't allowed to have a camp fire, you have to park within two feet of a post, you have to keep quiet, you have to be in bed by eleven. This is not a holiday, it's a concentration camp!"

"This is the Renault Espace, probably the best of the people carriers. Not that that's much to shout about. That's like saying "Ooh good I've got syphilis, the BEST of the sexually transmitted diseases."

(Mercedes CLs55): "Braking in this car is so brutal, it would be less painful to actually hit the tree you were trying to miss."

"I don't understand bus lanes. Why do poor people have to get to places quicker than I do?"

"I was reading The Mirror the other day and came across a letter from a reader who wrote, 'I was riding my bike to work when this red Ferrari pulled up next to me. Out of the window, Jeremy Clarkson shouted 'Get a car', and drove off.' What I actually said was, 'Get a car you hatchet faced, leaf-eating Nazi."

"Britain's nuclear submarines have been deemed unsafe...probably because they don't have wheel-chair access"

"Much more of a hoot to drive than you might imagine. Think of it, if you like, as a librarian with a G-string under the tweed. I do, and it helps."

"If we are being honest HIV is a pathetic virus, it can only live in the air for 6 seconds and it takes 10 years to do what ebola does to you in 10 days!"

"Racing cars which have been converted for road use never really work. It's like making a hard core adult film, and then editing it so that it can be shown in British hotels. You'd just end up with a sort of half hour close up of some bloke's sweaty face."

"you can't have this car with a diesel, its like saying, I wont go to stringfellows tonight, I'll get my mum to give me a lapdance, she's a woman!"

Tonight, the new Viper, which is the American equivalent of a sports car... In the same way, I guess, that George Bush is the equivalent of a President.


Jeremy said this of the Porsche Cayenne! "Honestly, I have seen more attractive gangrenous wounds than this. It has the sex appeal of a camel with gingivitis."


"Now we get quite a lot of complaints that we don't feature enough affordable cars on the show......so we'll kick off tonight with the cheapest Ferrari of them all!"

On the Lotus Elise: "This car is more fun than the entire French Air Force crashing into a firework factory."

"Now as you can see I lost the battle to have two engines on the back because of three very important reasons. One: weight. This is 600 Lbs and that's the same as having a whole American sitting on the tailgate..."

In the olden days I always got the impression that TVR built a car, put it on sale, and then found out how it handled. Usually when one of their customers wrote to the factory complaining about how dead he was.

"the DB9 has rear seats but no mammal yet created, not even when God was on the LSD trip that gave us the pink flamingo, could fit into them."

Assessing Hammond's crash:
Clarkson: "you can see from the tape that the tyre is starting to come apart. Now why didn't you spot that?!"
Hammond: "I had a lot on: I was doing 288 mph."
Clarkson: "What do you mean you had a lot on? I can be in the office on the phone, doing the paperwork, kids are shouting at me, wife etc, but if a lion walks in, I'm going to notice it!"


"There are footballers wives that would be happy with this quality of stitching... On their face"


"I don't often agree with the RSPCA as I believe it is an animals duty to be on my plate at supper time"

Splitter!

Look, I know this might be a little off-topic but would you mind not using the O-word? It's so tired it makes your arguments look half-arsed as well as half-baked. The English language has such a wealth of words to convey feelings of effrontery, indignation and displeasure. Next time, why not try taking umbrage? Feel piqued, riled or inflamed. Save high dudgeon for special occasions. By all means be insulted, just don't be offended and don't apologise for giving offence. It's lazy and insincere. Doctor Roget began his Thesaurus in Manchester, did you know that? You should be bloody ashamed of yourself. :evil:

Maybe, but I think people should wake up to institutionalised bigotry and discrimination, it effect us all.

Not sure I can agree that racism is in any way comparable to a third rate comedian hamming up a dislike of cyclists for a low rent comedy skit.

And don't 'apologise for any offense caused' when you called someone a ******* idiot. Clearly that was your intention so either MTFU and stick to your guns or STFU.

Bloody northerners... :twisted:

Careful, I might take umbridge and start a thread about you inciting hatred of northerners.

I was wondering whether the above incident took place in Manchester? Could explain a lot

SmellTheGlove

BBC needs a point of differentiation from Sky and the rest of Murdochs Marauders (inc. unbelievably The Sun) who can't love us cyclists enough since hooking up with Team GB. Unfortunately my brain lacks capacity to imagine the carnage when the divorce inevitably arrives.

How about taking Uxbridge? It's an ugly dump and could usefully be replaced by a park or just a big blank spot.

Will they rename Uxbridge Road? If so I'm all in favour.

@CrackFox - I like both your avatar and your style!

Take umbridge? Steady on, I don't listen to 'The Archers' but there's no reason to cancel it

+1 for LiT's comments. Nice one, CrackFox. Splendid turn of phrase there!
