Scots are always pretending they don't have football hooligans.

The English ones were (more recently than "a good few years") involved in all sorts of trouble. The Italians and the Turks are far worse... I can't recall the last time an English fan firebombed anyone, or shot anyone. Rioting, however... |

Top Gear was awesome last night. They had to buy cars in Miami for $1000 or less and drive them like 800 miles to New Orleans. When they went through Alabama they wrote slogans on each other's car like "NASCAR sucks", "Manlove Rules OK" and "Country and Western is Rubbish". They got attacked by rednecks. |
Why does Jeremy keep mentioning cheese? I heard him on the radio a month
or so ago and he had a go at American cheese then too. Do they really
ask you if you want cheese with everything?

filming to take place. The episodes with Clarkson in a fast car dashing across the continent with the other two racing him in trains and planes springs to mind. How do the camera crew who film Clarkson blasting past at 150 mph get there? They go back and film those the next day, apparently. Paul |

Generic American cheese comes in two colours - white and yellow -
and one flavour - none. There's also Monterey Jack which tastes
like sweaty supermarket processed cheddar.
I have American ex who *loved* evil processed cheees. Still, it meant
more Stinking Bishop for me.

One of my favourite clips from this week's top Gear: Clarkson looks at the
ingredients of his sandwich and finds "Imitation American Cheese" listed
fairly prominently. Particularly impressive to fix an oxymoron and a
tautology into 3 words.

I love you, cow of funk! (It wasn't you strapped to the roof, was it?)
I've not seen Top Gear since I left the UK 7 years ago, and had
forgotten how much I enjoy it!
It's amazing that the US came over as being _worse_ than my
prejudices. I'm going to have to set my target even lower now.
Thank heavens for bittorrent...

I think you have to appreciate that most of it has to be faked to allow filming to take place. The episodes with Clarkson in a fast car dashing across the continent with the other two racing him in trains and planes springs to mind. How do the camera crew who film Clarkson blasting past at 150 mph get there? |
Veyron that, although Clarkson went on and on about how fast it goes, in
the plane vs. Veyron race he was forced to stick to the speed limits by
the fact he was on public roads. That rings true; Clarkson has a clean
driving license and if he were caught speeding whilst filming for TG,
the BBC would have the excuse to drop it that they so desperately seem
to want.
