It went a bit tits up didnt it.

I'll bet you that the terms of his contract do, a massive "star" like him with all sorts of spurious riders in his contract.

They may do. But I was talking about the TV Show producer.

So Clarkson had a go at the wrong person? Someone's job was to order the food, unless the producer forgot to book someone to order the food?

 

If he wants, he can insist on a giant bowl of blue Smarties and someone will be tasked with that. Hot Food doesn't seem like such a ridiculous request.

My TV experience is limited to being filmed in that café for Match of the Day with Enzo but I think the producer is top dog & runs the show. Clarkson, the one with the girly hair and the midget will do what he says.

He's not even a real posh person, he's a nouveau riche interloper, his mam and dad got lucky with Paddington Bear, the likes of us don't mind knowing our place and wringing our caps and kowtowing to real member of the upper classes, the nouveaus get piss in their soup and coffees...

 

Let's not forget though comrades, this producer is probably some posh irish sod member of the rentier class, why didn't he fight back? Probably didn't know how to, hang the lot of them.

Why do you think everyone with a few bob has "got lucky"? I remember you saying people who made a few quid on the Post Office flotation were "lucky".

 

The money most folk make is through hard graft and taking opportunities others don't take up. 

 

It is this envy of wealth which is pissing me off with the left after having voted Labour all my life. 

I just wish the Irish fella had stuck the nut on him.

My post was in jest, however, I'd suggest that it possibly was a case they 'got lucky', as probably hundreds of small firms produced products that year that did f*ck all...

 

I'd also suggest they 'got lucky' because they were in an era when folk could produce their own merchandise based on a character without someone coming down on them like a tonne of bricks.

 

I've never voted Labour in my life, but the automatic assupmtion anyone with a few bob who wasn't born with it pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and gained what they got through nought but hard graft is false.

 

Anyhow, I ain't one of those envious types - possessions do my head in, I'd love to live in a shack somewhere, with solar panels and an internet connection, and nowt but a pile of tinned corned beef and an arsenal of automatic weapons (and some silver bullion, just to tide me over with essentials).

His g-g-(g)-grandfather invented the Kilner Jar.

And the Royal Mail flotation, I wish it wasn't the case but the service is going to shit, there was fuck all 'lucky' in the way the government undervalued this asset and the taxpayer footed the bill for the undesirable aspects...

They did order the food. It was being provided at the hotel. Clarkson chose to arrive two hours late because he wanted to spend time in a pub instead. By the time he arrived, the hotel had stopped serving hot food and offered a cold alternative.

 

If in your world that entitles you to punch a colleague who isn't a caterer nor a chef in that hotel's kitchen hard enough to warrant them going to hospital then I'm glad I don't work wherever you do. I'm also very confident that the vast majority can see that Clarkson's behaviour in this situation was totally unjustified.

Well they should've done a range of Paddington Marmalade then, to go with the toys...

 

I could've proposed that to them, had I been around, it may have been primed to take over as market leader from Robertsons/Robinsons - with the rise of looney-left PCism and the backlash against their Golly.

 

And I then could've gone to Public school, and maybe now I'd be shoulder-chip less, surrounded by expensive trinkets to prove my worth and able to take a swing at folk (other than my missus) who didn't make my tea when I wanted it (after turning up pissed and two hours late).

I work in a nice warm office, thanks.

 

If you are happy with the job the producer did then I'm pretty happy you don't run the company I work for.

Could they have not just ordered a Dominoes?

He didn't own a c-c-c-c corner shop as well, did he?

My boss best buy me hot food tomorrow otherwise I am going to move his computer and draws

I don't think being a member of the production team makes you a producer. Just saying

Do you still wipe your willy around the rim of his cup when he's not looking?

I deal with imbecilles at work all the time.

 

Very, very occasionally, if they are a special kind of imbecille I can lose my shit.

 

If I was an absolute dick I'd expect to be told.

 

I think there was more to it than a bit of food.

Are you suggesting that Clarkson is a member of a satanic cult who drink the blood of ritually slaughtered puppys?

I actually read the second part of that sentence in a Clarkson voice.

Clarkson ran that particular show. Him and the bloke he worked with to relaunch it when it was on its uppers, have made millions selling the worldwide rights back to the Beeb, £14M in Clarkson's case. It's now the most watched BBC programme around the world.
