The outspoken presenter, who was due to film scenes nearby, is said to have called Oisin a lazy Irish c*** before punching him and *splitting his lip.

Oisin, 36, was treated at A&E, but is understood to have no interest in filing assault claims against his boss or speaking to the press.
If it's inhuman to call someone names and throw a punch, you must really hate all sports.

Not defending him, I just don't care. I have punched many of faces while drunk, some probably I shouldn't have.

Whether he gets fired or not, I will watch any show of his in the furture. Simply because I find the man f*cking hilarious.

I recognize he was using the dinosaur as a metaphor for himself. Otherwise, that's the dumbest thing I ever heard.

At your next work related function, show up drunk, throw a bitch fit bc you're getting soup and cold cuts and not a hot meal, call the guy in charge of providing the food, a lazy cunt and then punch him in the face. Report back if you still have a job.

The poor producer went into hiding because of death threats by some of the TG maniacs. I realize it's very upsetting to them having that dumb show cancelled but c'mon.

I gladly would if I had the pull JC has and was basically the brand of my company. They best have a hot meal waiting for me after shooting all day. JC is Top Gear, he used to own 30% of Top Gear before he sold his remaining share back to BBC. He is a star, stars have egos. You have to stroke them. Half the movies coming out of Hollywood wouldn't exist if minor things like this shut down production. Celebrities get away with more sh*t than some Joe Scmho, I am fine with it. If this happened in the US, if would get swept under the rug and the show would go on. Hey it could be worse, he could be smoking crack and having affairs with under age street hookers (like a normal ego driven celebrity).

JC was getting so full of himself that it had become anoying to watch TG. It was a fun show, but the ego-display was really taking all the space up lately.

Some years ago in the cotswolds in England, an old lady had a nasty fall. She blamed the flowers that had been planted at intervals on the sidewalk in the picturesque village.

What did the local council do? Promptly removed all flower beds from all sidewalks. It's clearly more important to cater to people who are unable to look where they are going than have the village with a little color.

Then there's the LEO sho just the other day reduced a 5 year old girl to tears for riding her bike on the pavement, and as she dismounted and moved on (with her father) shouted after them "and you'd better not put her back on it down the road or I'll fine you!" at the father.

He was completely out of line and wrong in the eyes of the law, and had to apologise to the family (who rejected the apology, insisting that it should be directed at their 5 year old daughter, damn right too), because as a 5 year old, she is not subject to the law and has every right to ride her bicycle on the pavement when accompanied by an adult. Its just symbolic of the attitude (not of LEOs in general, of the UK in general).

Total bollocks nanny state, and its not even like we have good weather or beautiful women to make up for it. Come to Greece for those as well as a realistic level of civil freedom.

I stopped watching the show a few years ago. They did an inaccurate review of a Tesla. Tesla sued them of course, and during the trial the BBC's own lawyer argued that this was strictly an "entertainment" show, and was never intended to be accurate.

So now I watch "The Simpsons" instead -- Just about as politically correct and as accurate.

After working a 12+ hour shoot if someone gave me cold cuts for dinner I'd hit the nob too! Entire thing is utterly childish. Grown up pissing contest. Clarkson even self reported. Tell the producer cowboy up. I like the dude, his humor, and the show. May and Hammond to. But if he makes a sex video then he's gone to far! BBC - Bring Back Clarkson and stop being panty wastes. Can we all just get along...uh no. Because people who serve bologna instead of steak need to be slapped! LOL. Even me for actually writing this comment. Oh how far I have fallen.

since I used it...now I have to go google "nob" with my US uncultured UK self.

Lmao are you being serious? A scuffle ensued over what meal was offered on the set?

My view on the situation, albeit I'm of the mindset to bring back Clarkson as I very much enjoy both his antics and Top Gear, is swayed every which direction from reading everyone's opinion, lmao.

What exactly is the truth? Initially he was said to have punched someone, then it was merely a shove or push, now (even if you're sarcastic) it's over the dinner menu?

EDIT: Sources are now saying it was definitely a punch and Tymon got a cut lip.

There was a time, when people automatically respected each other...you know why? Because of fear of retribution/personal combat for being disrespectful. Say what you like about the wild west, but people respected each other, as the price for not doing so could be high. One could easily argue that regular, balanced people were in fact 'more' civilized back then, at least toward each other.

Remove that fear of retribution and people will behave like assholes (just look at how people behave on the internet safe behind their monitors, or in their cars, safe behind locked doors) because they can get away with it. Now I'm not saying that cold food is necessarily a reason to split someone's lip. As I have said all along, there is surely more to this (what was said?), but really, at the end of the day, what is a cut lip? It'll heal in a week...people are such pussies these days. If you piss someone off, you should be prepared to get a smack for your trouble, and/or defend your position. Political correctness gone mad. We can all take a leaf out of Buzz Aldrin's book for a better future. Sometimes, you just have to smack a twat in his face, to not do so would be to invite the same behavior again. It's funny, we run our countries based on this precept, but when it comes down to an individual with no real power, its a crime...double standards up the wazoo.

My attempt at sarcasm! Yeah - media is reporting that some witnesses in the restaurant are saying it was more of a shoving/scuffle match. BBC not airing the rest of the season is analogous to two Walmart employees fighting each other so Walmart closes the entire store chain and prevents its customers from shopping until their investigation is finished. Of course it is probably more than that - Clarkson's contract and the BBC not wanting to pay etc. Don't know. All I know is I was living to see the McLaren P1, Ferrari LaFarrari, and Porshe 918 go head-to-head. Now...who knows. Rumors are the show is cancelled for the rest of the season. Sucks for us the viewing customers.

I actually (shocking myself) complained to the BBC and told them how ridiculous it was to cancel the airing of the remaining episodes and told them the producer probably did need to be slapped (sarcasm) and this was their response - Basically "Go Blow Off" is what they told me but very politely. "Investigation" seriously? Over a food scuffle? Good Grief. LOL


Dear Audience Member

Reference CAS-3219603-B2PCP0

Thank you for contacting us about Jeremy Clarkson and Top Gear.
We announced on Tuesday the 10th of March that Jeremy Clarkson had been suspended by the BBC pending an investigation and that, as a result, there would therefore be some disruption to the current series of Top Gear.
We’ve received a wide range of feedback about this and some people have expressed their disappointment or have asked for more information. We do hope you’ll understand that we value this reaction, but the investigation is still underway. Until more is known, we’re therefore unable to say anything further in response and will not yet be making further statements about the issue.

We realise you’ll be disappointed that we can’t respond to you in any more detail but thank you for contacting us.

Kind regards

Danielle Thomas

Why don't three of them create their own show, I'm sure there will be plenty of sponsors who would love this extra revenue. Plus, depending on what they create they wouldn't have to be censored all the time

^ That's actually a really good idea...hope they do. Although as I have said, I think Clarkson has 'had enough', he wouldn't be going around further pissing off the BBC if he cared at all. Search youtube today for 'Clarkson rant'.
