Goddamnit Clarkson. We all know you are an asshole, but if you keep your fucking mouth shut we can look past it for the most part. Just... fucking shut up and then die so we can all pretend like we loved you all long.

I liked him better when I could pretend that him being an asshole was just an act he put on for TV.

No, that's James Cameron. I would like to point out though, that I in no way want to rule out that he's a pig fucker too.

It was David Cameron who was the, alleged, pig fucker.

A man who made his millions by getting sent on vacations around the world to drive cars, that was essentially funded by the UK public, yeah...

Why isn't everyone given the option of a job that pays the bills thats in their capacity to do. Granted I don't believe in make work but many people don't have any decent option and no one wants to be on the dole.
