bluenosesol	Jeremy Clarkson - Public Enemy No 1 posted on: 11/10/2005 7:48:31 PM I suggest that Jeremy Clarkson should seek professional support to treat his tedious obsession (or is it a mission) to turn the world and his dog against the good people of Birmingham and their birthplace. Strange that we should continue to offend his sensitivities, when the general feedback of late would suggest that we are taking giant steps to becoming a major European location for business and tourism. Whilst Birmingham does have the means, the plans and the intelligence to make it to the top of the metropolitan pile, Clarkson misses the point of what Birmingham is all about. Proud, friendly, industrious, cosmopolitan we are, elitist, snobs, egotists we aint. It is somewhat ironic to reflect that the worst restaurants I have ever eaten in were in the so called capital. My wife and I recently travelled to London to experience the shopping pleasures of Regent and Oxford Streets. The dirty shop entrances, the potholed pavements, the old buses, the makeshift sandwich and news kiosks and the carbon monoxide reminded me of New Street in the sixties. So Jeremy, please restrict your ramblings to things automotive. You will have a busy year in 2006 as the Motor Show moves from Birmingham to your favoured destination and hence the London news media embargo on covering this event will be lifted.

bluenosesol	Jeremy Clarkson - Public Enemy No 1 replied on: 11/14/2005 7:37:43 PM The twat did a restaurant review of a 3 star place in Edgbaston. He was very disparaging about it and reckons brummies are too thick to appreciate discerning food and likened us to the ring of scum thats left on the bath when the dirty water is let out. Methinks its time to get up a "Give Clarkson a Kicking" campaign.

Clarkson certainly shone on a recent QI. Which reminds me: look at this!

exbrummie	Jeremy Clarkson - Public Enemy No 1 replied on: 12/1/2005 12:23:42 AM He was once at one of the BBC PEBBLE MILL open days.. But i walked passed him to speak to the newsreaders. He looked a bit miffed..
Russ-L Rank: Jasper	Jeremy Clarkson - Public Enemy No 1 replied on: 12/1/2005 7:52:00 PM Maybe that's why he holds a grudge towards Brum. It's all your fault.
DrVeraJenkins old dear Rank: Jasper	Jeremy Clarkson - Public Enemy No 1 replied on: 12/10/2005 12:51:07 AM Clarkson reminds me of that old joke, "excuse me have you got a match?" "yeah... your face my arse". He has got a face like a bottom though hasn't he? A big fat talking bottom with a balding perm. I can't be dealing with spoilt people who wear suede shoes anyway. He's an over grown school prefect really isn't he? "Daddy I'm borrowing the Jag to go the school disco" ..."Ok Jeremy just stay away from the council estate". Can't we arrange for someone to pinch his wheels next time he's at the NEC? An Aston Martin on bricks would look quite funny really. It'd really p$ss the spoilt g£t off. That should be the Brummie fatwa against Clarkson - pinch the b&st&rds hub caps and flog em on eBay to raise money for a charity for fat stupid spoilt people with perms and self indulgent attitudes to life. Who'll give me a fiver?
DrVeraJenkins old dear Rank: Jasper	Jeremy Clarkson - Public Enemy No 1 replied on: 12/13/2005 2:35:15 PM Actually, I've slightly changed my mind about Clarkson. I flicked through his book in Big W up Small Heath on Sunday. I didn;t feel inclined to buy it because I wouldn't want to line his pockets any further, so I read it in the aisle and pissed off all the other shoppers into the bargain. No it strikes me he could be trying to be ironic, not that he necessarily understands the term, but he originates from some northern shithole like Rotherham. I was surprised by that because I had him down as Surbiton. But he does at least have a pop at himself, so maybe he has more in common with us Brummies than he thinks.

fairynuff	Jeremy Clarkson - Public Enemy No 1 replied on: 11/4/2007 1:48:23 PM Hey, bluenosol, persevere! Forget Oxford Street for a year or two, unless you want the theatres around Leicester Square, Soho's interesting streets, Carnaby Street shopping... Also, Covent Garden shopping is good, the area being largely "done". The property speculators are doing their best to progress things, as every other street sports its mega demolition/construction site (to be posh flats and offices which ordinary Londoners won't ever be able to afford). Apart from the dirt caused by traffic, dust and dirt come from these vast but piecemeal building works, which seem to endlessly blight the city. Unfortunately a certain project at Stratford is sucking dry all London's money wells until 2012, but one day there might be something to look at. To find streets clean and paved with gold, visit Canary Wharf and environs. The space on the ground floor of the tower is all shops, cafes etc. Northern line tube to Bank station, change to the Docklands Light Railway for Canary Wharf. Because of the DLR, Greenwich is available in a day. You will soon be getting loads of French tourists in Bimingham I expect, when the high speed rail link to France opens at St. Pancras, making the Midlands and North handier for any Continentals who are on short visits. The King's Cross/St.Pancras area has been blighted for years by this engineering project which, I have to admit, is incredible even though it has meant the demolition of much of the "old" London in that area. There's a lot here if you look beyond Oxford Street. I won't mention Jeremy Clarkson.
