Thats sad news mate...........on a lighter note


Just witnessed totally disgusting behaviour on Tenby beach this morning . A man and woman arguing in front of a load of kids then she smacked him one on the head and it all kicked off between them, the Police turned up and the Policeman ended up using his truncheon on the bloke but the man actually managed to get the truncheon off the copper and started hitting the copper and the woman with it.

Then a crocodile turned up and stole all the sausages as the man shouted 'Thats the way to do it'!






aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, the former Top Gear team have seen the first show

One thing Top Gear has achieved in one fell swoop, they have managed to reduce the waiting times to appear in the audience by

a) doubling the number of people in the audience
b) making a lame programme


I'm looking forward to seeing the Amazon version, perhaps they will actually review a car.

Amazons the winner out of all this cause top gear was Jeremy Clarkson, hamster and may regardless of the name of the program and they have real chemistry together so I expect to see that from them in anything they star in together, not too mention didn't Chris Evans and Matt Leblanc peak in the late 90's.....

I don't think I watched more than 5 minutes of Flop Gear before switching it off.

I couldn't believe me eyes when I saw Evans doing a Clarkson impression. WTF?! :eek: I remember him previously saying that he won't try to imitate the style of the old Top Gear, yet we get a fucking impressionist. I can't believe it took a whole year to create a mere clone of the old show. I don't like Evans and think he was a bad choice. Philip Glenister was initially a candidate and would have been great for this show.

It's recorded so I'll come back to it, but this is a really bad start. I see that most people don't like it either.

Who's the poor lady that died?

Well, Its been a crazy year so far. Ive just news that my grandpappy passed away. Im not too sure how old he was exactly. Definitely in the late 80s though, but thats one hell of a long run. He would of still been around if it wasnt for suffering a stroke a few years back which pretty much sealed his fate. That and the amount of smoking he did when he was younger.

Well i've finally decided to watch top gear on iplayer yesterday,i have to say it wasn't entirely too bad i did like Matt lines and his driving scene. Although i know they're reading from a script and its scripted it just seem way too obvious from start to finish and Chris evans is trying way too hard to impersonate Clarkson. The rallycross is pretty interesting and the new studio design is way better than old one.
Overall i think i will give it a chance still..

Freedom sorry for your loss,was you close to your grandpappy?

Not really. I barely even new the guy tbh. He didnt really talk much. Had we been the kind of kids that were left with their grandparents a lot while they went to work and stuff then maybe things would of been different. He barely spoke any english and my cantonese is terribad. I tried to get my dad to tell me about the trouble him and grandpappy used to get upto when he was a kid and stuff but he doesnt really talk about that stuff either. Sadly with this family, it is what it is.

Think you would find that with most chinese families lol practically my whole family distance themselves from my granddad,never really spoke to him much either as a kid and only visited him in London at most 3-4 times throughout my whole life. I had to deal with him passing away while finalising my Dissertation for Uni which luckily my parents started doing all prep work for his funeral after i finished. Got the whole marquee,monks and food with load of guest, burning things and came to actual funeral itself..well not many emotions at all just because we wasn't close. I should thank my granddad really for giving me the grade for my degree.

Guess all those black and white pictures of him in his early 30s looking like a young thug with my grandma sitting next to him are even more precious now. I am still somewhat shocked at how much a looker my grandma was back then :p Such is life - we get old, we get saggy, then we die.
