'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.0 -

No but the BBC mightIt 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 quietly0 -

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

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.Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks

Clarkson and Malvinas both have 8 letters, no coincidence I bet.0
