Your the one who pointed out the smirk, the bloke is a sarcastic bastard and a bully.

Bloody funny though!

Since when did making an outrageous comment while smirking constitute bullying, sarcasm, or being born out of wedlock?

Oh so now you are going to get literal, smirking is but a symptom of his attitude and being a bastard refers to the same attitude.

Where as I see his smirking as him not taking what he is saying seriously. Its all tongue in cheek you know, really, I am surprised the British sense of humour escaped you, unless it is only learnt in Public Schools.

I see a childish, cheeky, playful, and amusingly good natured chap, willing to laugh at himself and life as well as sterotypes.

A couple of times I have seen where he really lets go with the sarcasm and some remarks are quite cutting. Most of the time he remains with the bounds of amusing but sometimes it looks like he is restraining the desire to really tear into someone.

have you actually heard some of the comments left wing comedians come out with against those they regard as right wing?

I have heard comments from them about Clarkson far crueller and cutting than anything he has ever come out with

Can't say I have, I rarely watch English comedians, right, left or indifferent.

I do enjoy Clarkson and his crew but he is not a nice person, funny but not someone who's company I would enjoy.

yet this only seems to apply to those right of centre and not the various left wing comedians that regularly bully those on the right and not only don't get censored but get jobs hosting panel shows

I've never seen the show, nor Clarkson, but I was thinking the same thing.

To me, from these descriptions, he sounds like John Cleese...just picking on a different set of people.

Actually, there are two ways. The second one is to bully him back. Take away the attention he gets? That's a woman's solution.

I personally don't care what he's like in real life (unless it runs out he supports terrorists or is a peodophile). If he entertains me on the show, that's all I'm interested in.

When people tell me Clarkson is intelligent I always point out that Mengele was a doctor and Thatcher had a degree.

I do seem to remember similar comments from him. And Harding was always a Folk Musician first, Neo-Comic second.

My opinion of those three is the same as for Clarkson.

maybe, I was never into mouth harps and foot stamping

I just find it hypocritical that all these anti Clarkson comments from the left, the same left that defend outrageous comments by left wing comedians

and it would seem that Clarkson is not the same as the persona he portrays

Never checked mine. Only see the number in the top right. Don't know how these people find that they have a -16 vote or whatever.

Think I need to post about Maria Sharapova for a bit to raise the excitement levels a bit.

You just want to test the system again, or at least break it a little.

I have to admit I do check the rep stuff, approx twice a year. I am amazed the volume of downloads that are still done on the articles, 6 years after they were written!

I find it really handy, because the topic of a discussion often has nothing to do with its title, so a list of the topics you've posted messages to can help you find really important things that people say in the Lounge.
