Aha, I see. Actually I worked with one of our German clients a few months back and the person I coordinated with used to leave after 4/4.5 hours or so on every Friday. Hence the curiosity. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Now leaving early on Fridays using accumulated overtime - that's everyone's birthright. Big Grin | :-D

No, it's merely the fifth monday this week.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Sue Perkins is favourite to replace Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear [^]

Nay, nay and thrice nay: Top Gear without Clarkson would be like an ice cream without any ice. Or cream. Just a soggy waffle cone. Thumbs Down | :thumbsdown:

Good.

It's about time a woman is doing a "guy" show.

Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

(Disclaimer, I don't know her, I don't watch the show, I don't own a car and have a driver's license, and wish I could have an Aston Martin DB5).

I'd rather be phishing!

It's not about the sex of the presenter, it's that whoever it is will not be Clarkson.

Yeah, right. I'm sure it's going to be fun show.[^]

Unwatchable: you need to trust that the presenter's of show like that are a) going to take the piss at every available opportunity, b) be politically incorrect, c) be able to drive and d) know one end of a car from the other. How many vegetarian lesbians know where the half-shaft giggle pin goes? Smile | :)

There's a kind of morbid curiousity in watching someone make grand, blase statements when he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

For a) and b), Perkins pisses all over that thick-headed, egoistic moron who got fired from the show.

For c) and d), I don't have the foggiest, but I do know that they're a lot less important than a) and b).

In your humble opinion.

Then you have nothing to say.

True, but, nonetheless, important: Clarkson was, first and foremost, a motoring journalist so at least has some inkling. He may make crap cakes but he knows cars. She just knows crap cakes.

Sue Perkins is bluddy brilliant.

It'll be good to see such a show with such a genuinely talented person at the helm.

FTFY: she is shite at driving/fixing/talking about cars. She has no gravitas: what ever sort of dick Clarkson is, he carried it off. She won't. Kylie Minogue would be better: at least she played a mechanic...
