    'course, it might actually achieve something if everybody who thought Clarkson was a muppet just... shut up about him. Didn't watch TG. Didn't buy his books.

    Just a thought.

    well the plot thickens

    the latest is the set of plates found in the porsche that read BE11 END, which the argies are taking as meaning the end of the belgrano

    looks like a silly stunt could really bite them on the butt this time

    BE11 END is the equivalent to KN08 HED

    Why, will the Argies declare the end of Top Gear?

    Why, will the Argies declare the end of Top Gear?

    No but the BBC might
    It follows news that an Argentinian judge is considering legal proceedings over the plate changing, an offence that carries a three-year jail sentence.

    An unnamed Argentinian official told the paper: “We regard it as another insult to the people of Argentina. We’re sure the Top Gear team were planning another provocation with the number plate in the same way they provoked us with the one referencing the Falklands War.”

    read into that what you will but i cant see this one going to bed quietly

    The firm that makes so much money from it being sold to nearly every country in the world may end it?
    Can't see it.

    I dont see H982 as 1982 and I dont see FKL spelling Malvinas in Argentina

    Many, if not most, Argentines are perfectly aware that we (and most of the world) call the islands The Falklands, even though they officially say "Las Malvinas".
    Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
    On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon
    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning

    The reports I read stated that an Argentine official said:

    "We know b___end doesn’t mean the end of the bell and is a word used instead to describe the head of the p___s which is often employed as an insult in England," they were quoted as saying.

    Clarkson and Malvinas both have 8 letters, no coincidence I bet.
