Wish the Argies had captured Clarkson & co, as throwing them into prison for a long time would have made me feel good for the amount of my licence fee going on the dire 2 part Top Gear special.
They need to change the formula, because everything was predictable as custard. I only see it as entertainment, but it wasn't

Yep, but its a bloomin expensive travel prog.I've been better entertained by watching Henry Cole on his travel prog.
i was impressed by how well the cars coped with what was thrown at them, although it would depend on how much off camera fettling was done by the support crew.

I did wonder is there had been any extra metal work put under the cars as they must have scraped a lot on the floor.
Also there was a good safety message in the programe. Horses are dangerous!!

I know many years ago a colleague was having problems with his line. He eventually got a UK number to call, and the person understood & wasn't reading from a script

Its mum's land line so important if she needs help as the assistance service tag use it.
In the end I said " you couldn't understand me on the line. I am using my phone from my house that worked fine when I unplugged it 15mins ago.It's straight in the BT master socket. Nothing else is connected ". Eventually I got a open reach engineer booked.

My gripe is getting an email from M&S home insurance thanking me for renewing - that's the first I've heard from them so I don't even know how much it cost to renew and my policy should have changed as I now own more stuff. Very annoying.

It maybe the last time I watch a Top Gear special again.
With all the pre show hype, I thought it might be entertaining like the last few, but it was not to be. Think they needed to hype it up, so that people might watch it
