Well, we all have been there. Considering killing Clarkson with a shovel is what makes us civilized. You know, in between sips of wine and only after the music has stopped. Mustn't be rude about our Clarkson-killing, must we?
They should kick him out, with words: "you had one job..." I never liked Clarkson. It´s one arrogant, narcistic person, which doesn´t have real sense of humour. No, i don´t count irony and sarcasm as humour, neither of them is.
Probably Jeremy, he is that narcisistic. I kinda like Clarkson but i admit he is a piece of work. It's a guilty pleasure of mine watching GT, but if it was only Clarkson i would stop.
He has one, made it after the BBC sacked Clarkson and him and Hammond quit. He just posted videos of him polishing things and making Shepherds pies and that was about it.
Not sure what it is about James May. He could talk about the engineering of a pencil for 20 minutes and for some damn reason, I'd listen to every word for the entire 20 minutes. And at the end, wonder why I did.
This sort of thing is why I would, if given the opportunity, choose to meet James May before Richard Hammond despite having much more in common with Richard.
May - I have some good news! Hammond - Is it the Dacia Sandero? May - Erm. No. I've killed Jeremy Clarkson. Hammond - (pause) That is good news! (Beaming) Anyway, on to the next film...
That's what Jeremy would have wanted anyway. That's what he said in a 60 minutes interview. That if one of them dies, to just move it along to the next subject. Check it out if you don't believe me.
Not being able to light a fire with a Ferro rod while lost in the woods is understandable. Not being able to do so in a log burner with kindling suplied is not.
@Nick Maclachlan Missing the point, since the GT team had no clue about it before being shown them, and used the guys a DL to come up with the required dimensions to do it properly, and to ensure it would work on all the cars they had lined up for the show. They arranged to film at DL and had THEM arrange all the GT props only to not show up. I'd say that's getting ripped off. Before DL stepped in with the idea the plan was to drift on normal tyres in FWD cars which of course would have been utter ridiculous. The GT guys have no clue what they are doing and rely on stealing ideas from others.
@Nick Maclachlan But they didn't just take the ideas, they ripped them off. As in, done them out of money and time. This is how these pieces of shit operate in order to entertain morons.
Anyone else remembered that moment on the Death Road? JC: "Moments later, James slowed down to get a mad local passed... and I didn't." JM: "I was f*****g straightforward with you, now you're going to get machetted to death"
Jeremy Clarkson said..."I'll look after the fire." (Birds chirping...Time passes.) Who leaves, Jeremy Clarkson...In charge of A FIRE!!! IN-SIDE A BUILDING???!!!
I also have a loud, stupid, entitled mate and 9 times out of 10 it's easier to say "fine, have it your way" than stand and have the argument with him lmao
That probably doesn't count because it was staged. You think they keep the cameras rolling 24/7 and wait for the 3 of them to do something interesting? That would explain why the show costs so much, but it would be an extremely inefficient way of making a television show.
James's favourite weapon of choice : Machete ( a failed attempt, because of BBC health and safety regulations ) and a Rock ( a failed attempt, it hit only the windshield )
It's weird seeing someone I know randomly appear in TH-cam comments. Granted, I only recognize your name from The Warning groups and videos, so we're not actually friends per-se, but still 😅
They have the Three Stooges routine down pat. That's what made Top Gear into the international sensation that it was. The show could have been about anything.
The thing about Clarkson is you need to speak his language before he understands it. You just had to shout: "MORE POWER!!" and everything was all right.
When i think of May coming close to killing Clarkson, i always think of the Bolivia trip, where may threatened to “cut your [Clarkson’s] f***ing head off” after Clarkson had rear-ended him on that Death Road.
If he undertook to look after the fire and slept in the warmest room with the fire in it, the responsibility is his to either set an alarm and do his job, or risk taking a shovel to the face.

Woke up in my sleeping bag, with the newbie sitting there, who commented "It went out - didn't know what to do...." Nearly made him eat an M-16.... but, got the fire started back up in a few moments, then, he told me it was my guard duty. Nearly killed him again...

1:16 "I lit the fire with Richard Hammond"🤣...English is such a wonderful language🥂
Looks like we both drink at the same local pub. I'll have to keep an eye out for Mr. May.

I will listen jame may for an hour, He is intresting man also genius.💖
I could watch a home series on James may talking with red wine next to a fire, please more of these

Both May and Hammond have considered going for it 😂
James may welcoming me in is really wholesome I can't get over it
