I think it was intended as half motoring, and half comedy. It was an amazingly popular show that I never saw. The BBC just loved the viewer figures. Very cold here still.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
I found that quite hilarious, thank you.
ReplyDeleteYes, it makes me laugh too.
DeleteHad to giggle with the names on the opened car doors. Loved that skit Clarkson once did with the Raliant Robin.
ReplyDeleteRolling the Robin; it was wonderful.
DeleteIt's FREEZING here this morning. 5 C.
Haven't watched Top Gear for years, so missed all the fun! Did the BBC turn a blind eye - surprised they got away with some of the names!
ReplyDeleteOh, and it's 24ÂșC and sunny here.
ReplyDeleteI think it was intended as half motoring, and half comedy. It was an amazingly popular show that I never saw. The BBC just loved the viewer figures. Very cold here still.
DeleteThere are things I am tempted to say about "Top Gear" but I will keep them to myself.
ReplyDeleteTell all; I can't wait to hear. As I said above, I never saw it; only clips.
DeleteYou attract a few petrolheads to this blog and I don't wish to be metaphorically pelted with rotten fruit as I sit in your blog stocks.
DeleteI imagine you weren't amongst those who wanted Clarkson to be Prime Minister.
DeleteThe three of them were brilliant together.
ReplyDeleteAn unlikely group, but as you say; brilliant .
DeleteBring back the old Monty Python skits.
ReplyDeleteWeren't they amazing. We learned them word for word.
DeleteClever and light humor wins the gold star.
ReplyDeleteA bit crude, but good harmless humour.
