I only did this because I like the word 'hyperbole'.

# Hyperbole is a cool word
I had to fight, with one arm behind my back, 700 highly dangerous badger wielding 50ft ninja penguins to get to use a word like that - it's trooo!

# it's suicidal
to confuse hyperbole with lies.

# Ok it wasn't ninja penguins or any of the above
I didn't really have to fight anything to use the word - it's a tissue of lies, lies damn awful soul sucking lies - the Clowns made me do it!

# I would never tire of taking remote control of whatever car he was driving
and ploughing it through many, many walls, not just the one he did. It would also drive through caravans and do awesome jumps.

# I love these
Any chance they may end up being reposted for a certain compo suggestion?

And regarding your point below about Clarkson being an act: All very well choosing an on screen persona, but why would you choose to be a massive twat? presumably he has no actual charisma to get away with being a nice guy. He takes himself too seriously, and while there are worse people out there, he's still a twat, and doubly so for choosing to be one.

# he chooses to act a 'twat' because thats what pays the bills.
why strive to be something different when you're a middle aged
presenter, not that good looking, when you have a 'formula' that works on tv, books and newspapers and
pays handsomely.
Being seen as a 'twat' is subjective only to the person viewing him. He still has enough people reading and watching him for his employers to consider him bankable to pay out a good amount of money based on the way he acts to (and is perceived by) the general public.

# Undoubtedly, but he chose it to start with.
Anyway, it doesn't bother me too much as I don't read/watch him.

And not that I like arguing with you, but the idea that Airplane! can be improved seems a little silly.

# It can never be improved
but it would be interesting to see what people made of it.

/it would also be interesting if Zucker and Co. finally managed to find a little of the old writing magic and did a third installment, maybe reuniting some of the old cast, but the writing would have to be pretty spot on to even consider it.
I'd take a half decent airplane sequel over any 'epic/superhero/meet the spartans movie'

# I concur.
Garry Bushell lived opposite me for many years and was a genuinely nice, intelligent and decent person. However, facts like that wont stop people forming opinions of the real person as opposed to the media image :D

# In mitigation...
...did you notice when there was all that furore about him, the BBC made some quote about "..Mr. Clarkson's on-screen persona..."

Could that possibly mean that in person or 'real life' he's not quite such an otter frotter as he plays on TV?
(Guizmeaux, Wed 12 Nov 2008, 18:15, archived)
# no, in real life he gets away with far worse
speeding while on the phone, killing animals etc etc

# once you get the realisation that for the most part, his 'arrogance' is an act
he's an acceptable presenter to watch. There are better, I'll grant you,
but there are far far worse people out there presenting shows and writing books
