Jeremy Clarkson in the Poo

It seems that people love or hate Jeremy Clarkson.  He is outspoken but quite often he says what a lot of us would love to say only we’re too scared to for fear of repercussions.  Yes, he’s stepped over the line on occasion and for that he needs (and usually has been) reprimanded.

However is he so bad that you would want to dump a load of manure in his garden?  I can think of far worse people in this world than Jeremy Clarkson.

And, to be honest it wasn’t the best protest in the world either.  Having people encroach on your home is wrong.  Having people (sorry women dressed as suffragettes) dump smelly things in your grounds isn’t nice, but at least on an ‘environmental’ level it’s great for the garden!  And that’s what they were protesting about.

What made me smile more than anything is the quote from protester Deborah Grayson who apparently said -  “Just as he’s ever so blasé about his CO2 and how much he’s contributing to climate change emissions, we’re a little bit blasé about our horse manure.”

For goodness sake, grow up!  That has about as much impact as when you’re at school, you know the old “Let me have a sweet and I’ll be your best friend” type comment or the pretend slapping contest when you don’t actually touch each other.  Or maybe even it’s about as clever as knocking on someone’s door and running away!

By all means have your say ladies, indulge in your passions it’s a free country, but honestly will Jeremy care – I think not.

Moreover whatever would Emily and Christine Pankhurst think.

James May on The Moon

If I wasn’t already a fan of James May then I certainly would have been after watching this programme. Usually flicking the channels for something mindless to watch to wile away the boredom of ironing, I had seen the clip on the BBC website and was intrigued.

The Stig Unveiled?

So The Stig, the masked driver of Top Gear will be taking his helmet off on tonights show. What a brilliant marketing way of getting us all to tune in to the show which will be on at 8.00 pm on BBC 2 (Sunday 21st June 2009).

Call me cynical if you will but it doesn’t actually say they will be revealing who he is, just that he will be taking his helmet off. And for anyone who watches any race driving will know, underneath the helmet is a balaclava type fire protection thingy (okay I’m not in the technical know how here).

As Top Gear is known for it’s comedic performances, it will probably be either Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond or James May dressed up or someone totally unlikely!

I will be truly amazed if they do show his whole face. Let’s wait and see.

It’s 8.47 pm and the programme is still on and they’ve revealed The Stig as Michael Schumacher, the former Formula 1 racing driver. He now advises for Ferrari and that’s probably why they let him drive a £1,000,000 Ferrari on the track in tonights show. But as for whether he’s the real Stig, will we ever find out?
