BBC2 tonight

[cochcaer]

Top Gear's drive through redneck land was a laugh and half.

 

Next up, Stan Collymore should make an interesting juror in The Verdict.

[Carradona]

Top Gear was brilliant. Washing the cars with coke.

[chrisbonnie]

that was the best top gear ever, fucking hilarious

 

seriously though, how twatish where them yanks????

 

if someone drove through Ireland with God Save The Queen, and all Paddies are thick cunts, id laugh my bollocks off at it, oh no, not the yanks, seriously pricky country now

[drewy]

I pissed myself, quality TV. Nothing comes close to that programme.

 

American's don't have a sense of humour, I found that out years ago.

Do you have a story?

[Owen]

My Lovely Horse episode of Father Ted is on More4 now. Get in.

[drewy]

Do you have a story?

 

Shouting "incoming" as loud as I could during a morning briefing attended by an American 3 star General in Baghdad told me so.

 

Everybody hit the deck, apart from us Brits who stood there pissing ourselves.

 

It never went down well at all.

Brilliant. Anyone got anymore anti-american stories?

[bri]

this lad told me a story. he was in a cafe in the south reading an ian flemming book / james bond. the woman turned round and said "They wrote a book about that movie"

 

enough said

[Spy Bee]

Was fucking ace I watched it in the pub.

 

Americans "They're all fat, they're all stupid and they're all rude. This is not a travel show this is the truth!"

 

And

 

"Serious irony defficiency"

 

Oh and (about the cow)

 

"peel it"

 

Was funny as fuck!

[Remmie]

Beeb2 was fucking ace tonight, just finished watching after starting with Top gear, then the verdict, MOTD2, Cricket, Grumpy old men and finally Family guy. Quality. At last a night of television aimed at men.

 

The Verdict was quite good, anyone else watch it and what's your opinion so far? Collymore is being a bit of a dick but my instinct so far would be to acquit. The virginity lie plus the tape sounded completely set up would put serious doubts in my mind.

[chrisbonnie]

ive another american funny story i suppose

 

i was in Vegas about 3 years ago, i was buying some shorts in the quicksilver shop when the fella behind the counter asked whe i was from, after repeating myself about 5 times saying "Ireland", he goes, "oh, i seen Ireland in that film Trainspotting, it looks very rough", i replied with, well ,thats actually Scotland, not Ireland, he jjst goes, "their not the same country???"

 

seriously, when you buy a globe in america, does it just have their country, and a big ocean for the rest of the world?

Wasn't there a statistic that something like 65% of Americans couldn't even find America on an Atlas? Where was that Youtube clip of an Aussie TV presenter pretending to be the Australian PM and making Americans look stupid (asked Americans to find France on the Atlas- they brought out an Atlas with France written on Australia- they pointed to it)

I could well believe that, a lot of the yanks I worked with in Kosovo didn't have the first clue as to what country they where in.

[Stouffer]

Not sure if it's still true but American airborne infantry weren't expected to be able to write their own name as it wasn't a required combat duty.

 

Jesus F Christ.

To be fair though you could go to a fair few places in the UK like that. London, Cornwall, Devon, Norwich, Surrrey, Hampshire etc. Their all equally backward

You get some thick people in this country and not all from the south Bri, but I'm sure they could at least find USA/Australia/UK on the map. American stupidity standards really take a beating.

 

PS so no-one else saw the verdict then?

They don't know where Ireland is, yet they come up with stories about how they have irish blood in them.

Think Stan's being a bit over-aggressive (maybe a shoulder chip from the Ulrika saga) and it's interesting so see how quickly people's prejudices arise without hearing all the case. The more balanced jurors are just remaining tight-lipped. Personally I'd have made the tape inadmissible as it soundly fairly stage-managed. I'm sure they'll be another twist tonight but you'd have to acquit on the evidence thus far.

I doubt 'Tractor Pulling Sucks' will get you chased out of Norwich.

 

Tho they may drop a cow on your head as you're boating down the river....:smile:

[chrisbonnie]

re: yanks not knowing any other countries

 

only 11% of yanks actually have passports, meaning 89% have never left their own country :wow:

[Charles Penrose]

When is the TopGear repeat on? i assume there is on either on terrestrial or sky?

 

I actually don't give a fuck about cars but I'll actually watch that as at times it can be superb.

[bri]

maybe Devon Tea Sucks or Deliha's pies are crap. It was a class episode.
