Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

I actually don't think Clarkson is great at presenting other shows but Top Gear won't survive at least not the viewing figures without him , i don't care who they put there ....

I like Boris Johnson's comment. He said that he liked Clarkeson as he stirs up left wing hysteria.

Clarkeson's copresenters have said they would not work without him.

The BBC has been trying to get Chris Evans to host the show, but he doesn't seem to be interested.

re - 'Bye Bye, Jeremy'.

He fell on his own sword

and he is not the first "prime donna" to do so ............ Jonathan Ross comes to mind

JR????
he seems to be very much alive and kicking with his very popular saturday evening show

Take it you didn't like him then mentor ?

Another one who fell on his own sword is "cynic"

I supposed to be - squelch - ..........
but sees and reply my post

copy and paste as another probe of the "liar"
one has to be a very good" liar" not to get caught with trousers down

note -J. Ross was fired from the BBC a few years back

i revived you a few days ago .... i don't recollect that i was obliged let alone obligated to advise you of same

in fact, i take personal objection to allowing myself to be bullied into squelching someone, and a bully you most assuredly are

mentor ,, cynic never holds a grudge ..

you're absolutely correct, but it does not mean i don't hold to an opinion of someone
mind you, with mentor displaying his bullying tendencies like a strutting peacock, it's not hard to be of that opinion

That's know way to speak about your mentor

jimmy

never mind - grudge - or no grudge, a person who I can not trust, if every 5 minutes changes his mind.

It is not the first time about - squelch - to the point that .... MAM said :... posters are saying - squelch - but is not true.

every time comes with excuses trying yet again be right ( when every one knows is not )
so my reason for saying ... is a .. liar and arse....

What do you think Fred ?

if the strutting peacock stuck to his charts and other share stuff, he would be an interesting poster

however, God forbid you should ever have the audacity to question his choices, for then he his innate bullying persona comes immediately to the fore ....

in the past, it became consistently too offensive when he was posting as MRSI and menorca, and probably a few others, and he was rightly banished

Is this goldfinger your talking about , don't bite the hand that feed's you

no its not, though it is somewhat curious that mentor (aka MRSI, menorca and others) has been allowed back 2/3 or more times

that said, mentor is not QUITE as offensive as of yore, so he must be taking good medication or be on an anger management course - or both

OIL STOCKS
America's oil in storage just hit another record after rising for the 11th consecutive week.
Stockpiles rose 8.2 million barrels, or 1.8 percent, to 466.7 million barrels last week, the EIA reported today. Analysts had expected an increase of 4.75 million barrels. The amount of oil the U.S. is cranking out also edged up slightly, for the seventh consecutive week, to a rate of 9.42 million barrels a day.
Investors have been closely watching the oil gather in storage tanks, which has been rising steadily since the oil-price crash started last year. Stockpiles are more than 25 percent above their five-year average. Inventories aren't likely to max out, but even the possibility of coming close is adding pressure to an oversupplied oil market.

The Conservatives look like they have found a way of getting rid of the Speaker John Bercow. They have never liked him and he only got the job by accident.

Normally the nomination of Speaker goes through on the nod at the start of a Parliament for a new government. They are planning an emergency Bill tomorrow to change the rules so that if someone shouts Objection, there must be a secret ballot. Most of Labour's MPs are round the country tomorrow and the Conservatives will have a three line whip. That means the rule change should go through. It means that at the next government parliament, Bercow should get voted out.
