Quoted from Rodley Mariner


I know what Maslow's hierarchy is and the idea behind that bottom tier is those are the things essential to life. So if you are starving or freezing you won't care about anything else. It has no relevance to a fat millionaire wanting a steak rather than a sandwich. If I hit somebody at work because I wasn't happy with the food they offered me then I'd get sacked. As for what you think the argument should be about - it isn't. It's about if he should be sacked for hitting someone because he wanted a steak.


Again, we don't know if Clarkson was antagonised into allegedly punching the producer which, is the main point I was trying to raise.  The fact that Clarkson is a fat millionaire as you describe has no bearing because someone who had been working in the elements didn't have a warm meal whether it be steak or fish and chips is a factor in their mental state.

If it is the case that Clarkson punched the producer because he didn't get steak taking out any underlining reasons then I fully agree he should be shown the door.

It seems to me that certain high profile male figures have an open season on them and without all the facts, it's one of the biggest band wagons we've seen rolling around this year.

I've eaten various animals unwittingly after the pongo chefs trusted a Kenyan local to do the meat order. The horsemeat scandal didn't scare me - put it that way.

We have only heard half the story,

It will be interesting to find out what did happen,

Clarkeson reported the incident himself the other guy did not,

Clarkeson denies punching him but there was a scuffle,

They had been filming all day and were late for dinner and the kitchen staff had gone home,

If I had been working all day I would want a hot meal,

It will all come out in the wash as they say,

Nearly 1 million have signed for him to be reinstated now.

Not for me. The fat content in the "pies" at the bop is too high.

Apparently things have gone from bad to worse for Chris Evans as now even his co-workers want him out!
I watched the first episode of this 'Top Gear' with the new cast but it was rubbish and haven't seen another episode since. It was very cringe to watch as the new lot tried an on-screen camaraderie as if they'd been friends for years unlike the original 3 who have been for many years
I look forward to Clarkson's new show: The Grand Tour

Top Gear has been too crap to watch for some years now. Clarkson and Co were just shite in the few episodes I saw from the last few series. Tedious dialogue, rubbish 'stunts' and especially terrible jokes. The shark was well and truly jumped in my opinion. Some of the earlier stuff from years ago was entertaining, but I think Clarkson began to believe his own hype too much and his two toadies didn't offer anything interesting. Does anybody really think it's funny to watch middle-aged pretend to accidentally crash caravans any more?

That said, I've not watched a single second of this series. If it's worse than the stuff from the past few years, it must be truly dreadful.
