The oldest advice in the world
"If you don't like Jeremy Clarkson", says the BBC, "don't watch Top Gear".
(via theguardian)
In other news, it's really starting to bug me that my entire blog archive pre-July 06 is still in flamboyant, eye-hurting (apparently) Marimekko mode. Possibly I should be happy about this, as an echt representation of what the blog used to look like, but my need for cleanliness, discipline and order has won out. I've changed the bloody template! I don't see what else I can do!
And for everyone who expressed reservations about the colour scheme, there will be more tinkering with it at some stage, but I'd rather spend time writing stuff on here than fiddling about with html colour codes. Mind you, if the new job thing doesn't work out then there will be time a-plenty in which to study the Dulux chart for inspiration...
Update: Turns out today is Clarkson day. The Indy has news that there is a "campaign to persuade" the be-denimed one to challenge Mayor Ken on behalf of the Tories. BBC Entertainment's man-of-the-moment Richard Hammond, better known as David Tennant's mini-me (any excuse to link to a picture of David Tennant...), apparently thinks that "If he stood he would win it". *shudder*

Perhaps if you don't like Jeremy Clarkson, you shouldn't live in the Isle of Man either...

Anyone see the thinly veiled attack on Clarkson on Saxondale a couple of weeks ago with Alexander Armstrong playing an outspoken TV motoring journalist with open necked shirt tucked into overly tight jeans and curly hair.
Very good.
I just have to say I have met David Tennant. Oh, and Jeremy Clarkson too, twice. He thinks having the intitals JC may have been deliberate.
And I've also added you to my contact list at FLICKR. Hope that's OK.
*sigh*
David Tennant...
You guys are going all British on me now...*goes to look up who this guy is*
I know it takes time for some stuff on Blogger to update, like when you change your profile. Have you checked the archives recently?
Well, that's not good enough BBC. Some of us have male flatmates who insist on watching Top Gear. I hate Jeremy Clarkson with a passion way beyond rationality.
I want him to die. Die, horribly, slowly and painfully, ideally in a car accident.
I want him to be run over repeatedly by one of those enormous 4x4s of which he is so fond. I'll do it.
(And that odious little sychophant Hammond isn't far behind.)
Welcome, Kerron. God that Clarkson's an arse, isn't he? I did indeed see that Saxondale episode - it's the only one I have seen, in fact. I do like Alexander Armstrong. There's a new series of Armstrong & Miller coming up this Autumn, which can only be a good thing.
Beep, tell me Clarkson's an arse and Tennant is - well, no, maybe I won't go there. Thanks for the Flickr contact by the way.
Mags somehow I *knew* that mentioning Himself would mysteriously draw you here...
Lori you will learn about the likes of David Tennant (though I hope, for your sake, not Jeremy Clarkson) when you come over. And thanks for the Blogger tip, unfortunately my two weeks away from blogging have not been sufficient to allow the new template to filter through to the archive.
Spinny - I had no idea of your Clarkson pain. I'm so sorry. Hammond would be easier to get rid of, you know, he's only short.
I know.
I hate him so much I appear to have invented a new word. (Unless rationality is actually a word, which I doubt.)
I do fancy David Tennent though. But is he the 'drama actor' that has been up to all sort of gayness according to Popbitch et al?
I am happy to report that rationality is indeed a word. So that's all right then.
Have been wondering the same thing about the Tennant re Popbitch etc. "Dr Who star" doesn't leave many candidates, does it? Would hardly be news if it were John Barrowman. Which leaves... the bloke who plays Mickey. Or Tennant. Ooh or Eccleston!
Phew. Eccleston it is, then. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
Maybe it's Eccleston and Tennant together. To borrow a phrase from your previous post - that's food for thought. Jeremy Clarkson is far too smug and not once has he given me any of his cars.
Shocking behaviour.
alexander armstrong?
now you're talking...
and he's the obvious choice for permanent angus deayton replacement on HIGNFY
"Maybe it's Eccleston and Tennant together"
I find Eccleston so incredibly unattractive that this idea is making me feel slightly unwell.
Couldn't agree more about Alexander Armstrong and the HIGNFY thing, UC. He's been robbed.
Clarkson should be shot.
I do like Tennant and I get the appeal, he is an attractive man. However I can't get over the feeling that he is actually very small, maybe 5ft?
Strange.
Having always assumed he was quite tall, I was disappointed to be informed by a colleague who met him recently that he's actually not. This has unfortunately dented his allure for me somewhat.
he's not 5'. he's taller than that. mid five foots I guess. normal/average
he's very nice, quite shy and exceedingly polite. a ready smile and generally charming. he was also, like, toadally in lurve when I met him. with the bird from that episode of dr who who was madame pompadour.
dr who who. i spent seconds working on that.
and jezzah is ok. but then i'm a bloke.
actually, he is a fine journo when he wants to be.
his dissection of the EC fishing industry was excellent.
didn't change much though. so a bit like top gear then.
"mid five foots" sounds quite short to me, Beep. I'm 5' 9".
Had heard that he and Sophia Myles (apparently she's quite popular with the gentlemen herself) were a bit of an "item".
*sigh*
He's actually 6'1". I'm not sure why so many people think he's short -- maybe it's the stick-thinness. Or maybe too many pictures next to the very very tall Russell Davies.
Though I'm not sure how anyone could think he was five feet tall!
there you go Pash. He's MUCH taller than you. Your dreams can live on!
I doubt he's 6'1" though: he's not taller than me and I'm only 6'. Anyway, fruitless discussion. The point is that he certainly is not tiny, despite fitting so well into a Police box.
Thanks for clearing that up, Tavella and Beep. More or less, anyway. If I ever have occasion to meet Mr Tennant in person I shall be sure to take along my tape measure. And some chalk.
