How to look a real fool

Postby Saitek » Mon Jan 07, 2008 10:15 am

Everyone remember the 25 million data (mine is in there btw) that the UK government lost? Some dude who presents a popular car program wrote in a tabloid newspaper that all the fuss was about nothing. For proof he gave out in The Sun his bank details, that included account no., sort code and even his name and address (all the sort of stuff that I believe is on those disks) . :o He woke up this morning to find

Nice one Jeremy, I'm sure he couldn't care less though! ;D

I once was rather upset by the TV Licencing people, who decided to send my renewal form (for the correct new address) to my old address - and that had my current address, sort code and account number - all ideal to setup a bogus DD. Rather shows the intelligence of the people entrusted with such data, that despite having made the effort to change my details with them, they could only do half their job... ::)

Heck no!  The best part of the show is watching Jeremy do stupid things.  If the guy were pratical and logical it would be the most boring show in the world.  People love watching others do stupid stuff and get smacked by reality for it.  There's a reason the paperazzi are lined up in front of the Spears residence right now and it ain't her singing...

Please don't forget Matt that Satan was once an angel until cast down from Heaven and lets face it nobody praises his lovely singing voice neither ;) All they do is give the guy a hard time about putting red hot pokers up peoples botties! I think Satan may have been a teacher in 6DE at sometime ;D ;D ;D

Clarkson is a legend, and one of the few who is not afraid to speak his mind especialy on TV (within common boundries ofcourse or he would of lost his job) alot of what he says on TV many other presenters realy wouldnt dream of ever saying.

and the cocktail stick thing.... i agree!!

Whilst no one could disagree that this stunt was exceptionally stupid, it appears to be typical Clarkson. Brilliant tv personality, my parents cant stand him, they claim because he is too full of himself and making irrational points and stances. This is what makes him who he is, he speaks his mind, which is a refreshing change from what we see now very often on tv nowadays, which is far too sterile.
