Caravans - nothing more than a bomb makers dream

As Bank Holiday nears in the UK all the people who have purchased a shed on wheels, because "they like that sort of thing" will be getting excited, blowing up their tyres, blowing up their imaginary wife, and checking their nuts are tight.

This then seems to be the thing to do if you have the sense of humour of a squashed fly and have nothing better to do that travel to the next county, blocking up the roads for all the normal people, and sitting in a field reading Caravan Weekly.

I really do not see the point of this. Caravans cannot be cheap, and what actually do you get out of it? Yes its a lot cheaper than going somewhere half interesting but there's a high risk of keeling over in a field by yourself from boredom.

TopGear tried out a Caravan holiday a few years ago and all that happened was they got lost, had a crash in a petrol station, and blew up the caravan because of a chip pan fire.  the woman who was a keen caravanner on site could only suggest they "fill up the loo" when asked what they were meant to do on a caravan site!

Caravans are no use, unless you are going to pack it with dynamite and light the fuse!

Jeremy Clarkson Furious Over Fake Claims

A story has recently appeared in the news over Topgear "apparently" faking the majority of the driving scenes where the car is whacking down the TopGear track, going sideways in a cloud of smoke etc.  This supposed fact has come from a disgruntled ex driver employed by Topgear. (hence the "ex" driver - probably sacked because he couldnt handle a three wheeler)

Naturally Jeremy Clarkson is furious about this and denies it completely.  The fact of the matter is that yes some scenes are done by other drivers rather than the presenters, but only when there is a need for cut in shots, and there is no time for the presenters to get back in the cars and do them.  They are busy people and there are always going to be extra shots needed when they're not available!  Whats the fuss about! Its not as though theyve put a Clarkson look a line in there and recorded his voice over it, its not misleading or fake as people are suggesting it to be!

People love to come up with some kind of excuse to put down the Topgear team, particularly Clarkson, and put him in the firing line. Most probably because they are jealous and know that they will never do the things that he Hammond and May do, never drive the cars they do, and wont come close to having the amazing jobs that they have - which are without question the best jobs ... in the world.

Get over it, enjoy topgear - and if you cant, go and watch Fifth Gear - which is nothing short of watching magnolia paint dry on a very wet, dark day.
