    I pretty much think you could split this forum into Mays, Hamsters and Clarksons...

    I mean, is Mags really a James May or Richard Hammond?
    Genius ...

    Haha, I suspect I might be a May.

    I've got no dress sense, am opinionated, drive like an old woman, talk a load of bollocks, and think everything was better in the good old days. I reckon I could be the love child of Clarkson and May.

    This week's Top Gear wasn't too bad, although there have been loads of complaints ...

    The boat was pushed out as Matt LeBlanc tested two cars, Bruce Willis tested a horn, Eric Clapton showed you could play a guitar in a car and Lewis Hamilton in the reasonable priced car [again]. And car rugby ..

    Stomping on the avenue by Radio City, with a transistor and a large sum of money to spend.

    I have so, so little time for people who write in to the BBC or to Ofcom to complain about TV shows.

    Awful, joyless human beings who seem to be intent on trying to have all the fun and danger sucked clean out of TV. I bet most of them sit down and consciously try to find things to be offended by, and if they had their way, TV would be so heavily censored it wouldn't be worth it existing at all. Bastards.

    The Daily Fail does a similar thing. Even cherry-picks all the most "offensive" bits and exaggerates them.
    My name is Connor and I have a GAS problem.

    I also have some videos of myself playing guitar. Here they are.

    If you work at the beeb you can look at all the complaints coming in via the intranet.

    It was a tea break ritual to log in and laugh at all the nutters.

    My favorite was: "I feel that female newsreaders shoes should always be visible in shot because I find them aesthetically pleasing"

    I always thought the Beeb should have been more savvy with the Brand/Woss complaints - takes the f*cking thing off iPlayer - from the show there were 5 complaints after some acoloyte of Mary Whitehouse had droppped his wad all over the front-page of the Fail there were around 30k downloads in the first week and a shed-load of complaints - if they'd simply made the content unavailable they'd have had less complaints (there'd still be a few people feeling they should do what their newspaper tells them to do)

    Top Gear was good - Rugby in cars? there was arount £200k of car on that pitch! So next time someone wonders what their license fee is paying for, you tell em: Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 3, Radio 4, Five Live, Radio 6, about 30 Local Radio channels, BBC News and Weather, the Reith Lectures, Some outdoor performances, BBC1, BBC2, BBC3, BBC4, technologies given to the independent broadcasters - Top Gear is probably making 20 times more than it costs from worldwide sales and is subsidising the rest

    But its shit. Quite chuffed that this is my only contribution to the argument thus far.
