Actually I think James May had a far better column. I'm glad he's still doing programmes for the BBC - his series 'Cars for the People' is excellent.”
I genuinely like James May. I never understood why he got the boring label on TG, for me he was the life and soul, whereas Hammond was the whipping boy and Clarkson was like the overbearing school bully, really OTT.
Quote:
“My stepfather used to get me collections of Clarkson's newspaper rants as Christmas presents and I cringed on looking at them during a recent spring-clean. They range from the middle class self-pitying (a piece about how embarrassing it is to only have an ordinary Amex at dinner with friends rather than a gold one) to the sort of drivel Littlejohn would be proud of (gay people not being allowed to get married is JUST like Clarkson not being allowed to play for the Premier League because he's bad at football). Think I'll just recycle 'em, it's not really fair of me to pass them onto someone else by taking them to a charity shop ...”
Ugh, what repugnant drivel, especially that bit about the gays and football comparison. The man's a fool.
