..because someone had to do it.
To be honest it probably doesn't matter what he says or does any more, he makes me laugh :cool::kitty:

Love him:)
Hate Piers Moron.
You see, I'm just the sort of person that Clarkson is designed to wind up. I'm a short, vaguely feminist female vegetarian with a generally liberal outlook.
But I love him!
Honestly people getting offended on other peoples behalf drives me up the wall at times, it happens on this forum in posts
No doubt if I admit to admiring his work, I am a UKIP voting racist.
What kind of insipid world would we be living in if we didn't have the outspoken to liven things up a little? :cool:
That was probably closer to the edge than theres a slope on the bridge (which lets be honest, how many people knew what that meant, even if he did mean it?)
Oh I need to be watching that.
I think I say a lot of things intended as humour which are potentially offensive or don't come across very well. My real views are usually quite different from the idiotic things I come out with for a laugh.
I don't think all humour should be like that awful John Thomson take off of Bernard Manning. And I don't think that any humour should be like Bernard Manning
^ This. I wouldn't say I appreciate him, necessarily, but he does me laugh, and I love his lack of care when it comes to people pleasing. If it's a choice between the po-faced jobsworthy people pleasers or Jeremy, I'll take Jeremy every time.
Also, he takes the pee out of himself as much as he does everyone else.
That 'slope' thing drove me nuts. There WAS a slope on the bridge, a very obvious one. I couldn't believe the desperation by certain media to turn it into a racist outrage. ^_^
People getting outraged about the whole 'slope' thing.....since when did it move on to the list of contentious words?! Can 'slope' no longer be used as a descriptive word; sloping bridge, ski slope, etc?!
I think a lot of folk would genuinely say they had not been aware of this so-called double-meaning.
The ever-increasing alternative seems to be from the politicians' handbook of speech - uttering a string of robotic, safe clichés as if somebody is pressing a switch on their back every time it is their turn to speak.
*reports Sloopy for using the outrageous slope word 4 times in one post* ;-)
I had no idea it was a contentious word. Slope to me is an incline, or, to 'slope about' is to wander about aimlessly. Which, coincidentally, is pretty much what Jeremy & Co were doing, sloping about idly discussing the slope on their sloping bridge.
