I want to thank you for the TV show called TopGear. I watched it a few weeks ago with nothing else on the tv and Im friggin hooked on it. Its hilarious, they dont seem scripted (unlike the American versions) and did I mention hilarious? So thank you Englishmen/women for this awesome show.
Both are great shows. Which load/series/whatever of topgear is on in the USA?

Expect my posts to have a bazillion edits. I miss out letters, words, sometimes even entire sentences in my points and posts.

Jeremy Clarkson writes pretty much the whole thing.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

Top Gear used to be a genuine magazine show about cars and had some good presenters who really knew their stuff. Clarkson became the star because of his outspoken nature ("like snapped knicker elastic" was one of his more infamous remarks).
The show then evolved around him and did away with most of the car reviews (unless they were loud and fast) in favour of the challenges which are kind of amusing but the chaotic "incidents" are obviously fixed.
I can't stand the celebrity interviews where Clarkson fawns over his guests like a little toady. This reached a nadir with the appearance of Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. Clarkson's tongue was so far up their arses, neither will ever need to buy toilet paper again.
Out of the three current presenters, the only one I respect is James May who shows a genuine knowledge of his subject. He does some great alternate shows including James May's Toy Stories which included rebuilding a 10 mile rail link with a Hornby train set and a life size Spitfire Airfix kit. The fellow is a genius.

That sounds awesome.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.
