Would you believe it .... snow!!! (5 miles from EMA) Happy days :¬)

is it good pb? thinking of picking it up during the week, still play mario kart ds though so not sure, i dont use the 3D really

Well, Broadband connection (not Freeola, I hasten to add) decided to die constantly on me today, so this is the first time it's been stable and I've been online properly.

First time it's caused a problem though and got sorted fairly quickly, so not to worry.

Now to go back to playing Mario Kart 7...

Went to Defenders Of The Faith last night, had fun. Rise To Remain were surprisingly good to be fair, can honestly see them rising out of the 'that band with Bruce Dickinson's son in' tag (which some people currently seem to have them in). The band I really didn't care for were Swedish black metal and supposed devil worshippers Ghost, they just came across as a pretty dull and slightly camp pantomine act to me?

Thanks for the support El V, seems that we are all in the same 'we know that Clarkson is a renowned prankster camp' for once :¬)

And yes...so is Mrs DL (this usually means "please turn up the nuclear-fired boiler, but I'm not asking you directly") :¬D

I showed my girlfriend the Clarkson clip earlier as she (somehow) hadn't seen it - oddly enough his second comment, about shooting people, is the only part most people have uploaded to YouTube. Not the part before where he's clearly joking, then moves on to BBC neutrality and decides to say they should be shot to balance his statement. I smell an agenda or two.

Also, since when should you take what he says seriously?!!?

In other news, I am incredibly cold. :/

Too true. A lot of people are completely overlooking the fact that Clarkson was trying to make a joke of the BBC's obligations to be neutral on matters. As Clarkson said afterwards, most people complaining have seen the clip on YouTube and are complaining because of that.

Again, I don't like Clarkson too much, but I'm certainly not one of those people who completely despise him, yet throw the limelight onto him every time his ego thinks before his brain, which I've found is most of the time.

It was a failure of a joke but that is all. I couldn't see any malice behind what he said.

Oh, and I find it hilarious that it's being classed as more serious than the Sax and Ross/Brand situation. For one, Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand are possibly two of the biggest *explicits* on TV (well, they were :-P). Secondly, they knew exactly what they were doing but didn't expect any of the nation to be bothered about old 'Manuel' from Fawlty Towers. Thirdly, I prefer Clarkson over Ross and Brand. Biased much? :-)

*third edit* Hope you stick round El Viking and Trish :-D

i havent seen the clip either, but to be honest i dont understand what all the fuss is about when clarkson says stupid things. if people dont like it then they dont like it, i dont see why it should keep making headline news, it woudnt if a nobody said it.
