    Oh yes, don't get me wrong, I wasn't aiming that at all residents of Chipping Norton as that would be a rather large generalisation that would prove slightly ironic given my argument against racism.

    I was instead referring to the self-proclaimed "Chipping Norton Set" who contain the Brooks, the Murdochs, the Camerons and the Clarksons to my knowledge.

    Well no but it's better than actually punching someone. And after a day of filming I can see why he'd be pissed at not being able to have a hot dinner. Still went way over the top though.

    ".Eeny, meeny, miney, mo....Catch any person of any religion or creed randomly selected by the toe, gently using the soft skin on your thumb and forefinger, so as not to leave any bruising, tissue damage or grazing. If in extreme circumstances you feel the need to use two hands, please make sure one grip is above the ankle bone so as not to put any due strain on the Achilles tendon. It is also recommended that this is carried out in the presence of a first aider and with crash mats covering a 10m square area around the activity. The said crash mats should be taped to the floor with yellow and black safety tape to ensure no onlookers trip while the activity is in progress "

    It doesn't rhyme, but covers what we need.

    May said he was blind drunk (May not Clarkson) which suggests they hadn't come straight from filming but had been out for the night. I suggest they should have eaten out. If I couldn't get hot food at ten at night, I would be disappointed not enraged. I would also suggest that there is nothing sadder than men of that age being drunk (with special dispensation for a wedding :)).

    But then how childish and sad are the papers if he never threw a punch after all that.

    Not sure if I should be worried or impressed that my lecturer is signing off emails to me with lyrics from XTC songs...

    Clarkson described it himself as handbags...so some physical contact involved. Can't see anyone throwing a punch over lack of food, but possible the producer said something along the lines of calm down or grow up. Apparently a lot of people there have had a sudden attack of blindness and amnesia, so we will never know (nor do we need to know). This is the culmination of several events...BBC fed up with apologising for Clarkson and Clarkson fed up with anyone trying to control him. He made Top Gear, so I'm sure he will find success elsewhere...though as he has a share in Top Gear, he will presumably not want it to fail completely.

    Hee-hee..! Devotees of XTC will try anything to get them better known. Most of us can't fathom why they are not considered alongside the best pop bands ever.

    Give us an example, DTLW.

    That's off their last album, Wasp Star, but I can't remember the song title. I will in a minute or two. Hang on, it's from We're All Light.

    Here's the song. Not one of Andy Partridge's finest, in my opinion, but a good album filler. Typically lyrical and witty though:


    That's an ultrasonic image of an ovum being artificially injected with sperm, I believe.

    He had considered popping off to Switzerland for an assisted death, but I read he died at home.
