Jeremy Clarkson Forum

[loonatic]

(for those not familiar with the topic, click here and here)



Although Jeremy is entitled to his personal sexual preferences about moustaches and ignorance about greek shipyards' current products, indeed, as a Greek myself, I can firmly confirm that our beloved country has become a toilet.

After half a century of whoring ourselves out for hordes of cash-strapped, mentally-challenged, ill-mannered drunkyards from certain parts of Britain, we finally can reassure you that a dozen of well-known tourist spots, transformed into giant loos.

Please, do come back. It's entertaining to watch your future generations entertain theirselves. Meaning to drink. And drink. And drink more. And then drink a bit more, but no less than yesterday. Hey, even declaring fake rapes, in order to milk some extra cash from the insurance companies.

Eventually, we'll even let Jeremy design middle-of-the-road loos, such as those found in Soho. The pride of Britain has every right to a public relief. Jeremy knows that, as he writes for The Sun.

Couldn't put it better myself. Congratulations for your comment!

I have to say that i strongly disagree with Jeremy's comments. They are offensive and untrue and coming from an Englishman they are even more laughable. Without wishing to lower myself to Jeremy's level i would point out that English girls are not known for their wonderful looks or figures and apart from coming to London to see Big Ben, you don't find many foreigners putting England at the top of their 'places to visit' list. I think Jeremy has proved once and for all that he is actually a pretty ignorant individual and maybe its time he were kicked off the BBC and consigned to the Granada Men & Motors channel for the rest of his days. I remind you of the terms and conditions of your website use below:-
'You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-orientated or any other material that may violate any laws be it of your country, the country where “Jeremy Clarkson Fan Site Forum” is hosted or International Law.'
If we are not allowed to be abusive, vulgar, hateful etc words on your website, you should refrain from being vulgar and hateful towards a country.
Thankfully with the British Pound sinking to the level it has done, we won't have too many drunken Clarkson fans visiting this summer.

Jeremy says the girl didnt even look Greek- excuse me, as it was a holiday ad she was probably a tourist, maybe even English.
He says the boat wasnt made in Greece- so what! most of the cars Jeremy drives each week (and most of our electrical goods) are not made in England either. The only toilet I can notice is what emenated from his mouth- bless him. Even if he had had a bad experience in Greece (which nobody wants)which may have coloured his perception of Greece, it is no excuse to slur the whole country. If a similar remark was made about another country I bet you it would not be tolerated and screaming in the streetonly because Greece is a Christian country they think they can get away with it.

[Scouse]

Oh right so it's all because they're christians now is it! LMAO get a life man. I was born a christian and brought up in the church an it does my head in when people like you cry persecution and use it as an excuse!

Scouse.

I am a native Greek and i found out about JC's comment from the radio today. Let's just point out that we all know that JC has his own and very unique view on things. He has made comments like that for half the world's nations (America for example).
And let's be honest, what he says isn't that far away from the truth -the comment about womens facial hair was a bit off.
Greeks are raised with the idea that we gave the "light of knowledge" to the rest of the world but ... come on... have you seen Athens lately? Or taken good look at our political scandals going on for the past 15 years? Or that big 'For Sale" sign on the country?
So let's just be honest JC just said what every native Greek thinks in the back of his head. We just don't like to hear about it.

[nikolai]

Gbouras,
Obviously, some Greeks are raised with the 'we gave the light of knowledge' mentality but this certainly does not apply to all of the Greeks. Not to consider, that it really was the Greeks who gave the western civilisation a lot of its foundations, as democracy for example. They also contributed a lot to the foundations of the sciences we use today to advance. I am not saying, ofcourse, that what the Greeks achieved 2000 years ago is an excuse for the modern Greeks not to advance but dont forget that Greece has had various problems and at the moment it is going through the longest period of peace in its history...

Back to your comment about Athens... When commenting about anything really you always have to see both sides. There are definately areas in Athens that you'd never want to live in, because they are very similar to toilets... but there are also fantastic places to be in. For instance nothern Athens, many areas in central Athens, many areas in southern Athens and so on. By your logic, London is a toilet because it has places like Brixton. Do you consider that phrase correct? Would you like to live in Brixton?

Where you're really off though is the part about Greece and the political scandals. If you imagine the international political crime scene as the mob, the Greek politicians are still shoplifters compared to other countries politicians. Let's not forget it was the UK that first supported the US war on Iraq about some weapons that nobody ever found...

To conclude, Clarksons comments on Greece were absolutely hilarious. You won't go on holiday in Dubai, for instance, wondering who made the plane, or who made their cars or who made all the other stuff. Nor will you wonder when facing a beautiful woman, in Dubai, where she's from and if she had 3 hairs lasered from her mustache. Greece is definately a great place to go on holiday during the summer. And if you believe the contrary just google the name of any greek island. But please dont start wondering if the girls are greek, the ships are greek etc.

Lastly, I have to say I like Clarkson... he's funny in the same way a child is... But I really can't give him any credit for his opinion on anything. Not even cars. At the one show he'll report he loved the car and 2 shows after he will report he hates it, as he did with the new GTR.

Sorry for the long post...

[greektrick]

I'm a British woman married to a Greek man and yes, living on a Greek island. I first found out about the fuss and nonsense that's been caused by his joking on the Greek national news and as usual it's the same melodramatic rubbish that they come up with for just about any subject. As a British person I often find greek humour not at all funny as obviously the Greeks can find with our British humour. But, hello, it was a joke! Can the greeks honestly say they don't do the same thing because I can honestly say they're liars if they say they don't! I love the Greeks, the majority of which have made me feel very welcome in their once beautiful country. I say once beautiful as i find it's gone downhill badly in the last 10-15 years. The tourists are partially to blame, some of which make me feel ashamed to be British at times! Yet I feel the main reason for the decline is due to the greeks themselves. They have become greedy along with being very corrupt and since they wont move forward to improve the appearance of their country, what do they expect to attract to their tourist resorts but the immature teenagers who have no self-respect for themselves. I have many older friends who come to Greece every year, who have even bought holiday properties here and they're all extremely upset as to how the Greeks have failed their own country. Just as Britain has gone down the toilet so has Greece. So all you Greeks who were upset by Mr. Clarksons comments, please lighten up. No country's perfect you know, as is no one person! Oh!, and another thing, maybe you should look at your own youths because guess what, they too like to wear next to nothing and drink, drink and then drink some more. As I said before it's not just Britain that's gone down the toilet!! Keep up the good work Mr. Clarkson, we love your show over here in Greece and the 'we' includes many of my GREEK friends who get your sense of humour fortunatley!

I could almost picture Jeremy, leaning back in his chair and reading this forum with a smirk of precious amusement. After all, he does appear to have been fond of "pushing people's" buttons from an early age. Surely, an intricate part of his character and the humour which we have grown so accustomed to.

Sadly, the whole affair brought to mind another Englishman - who passed away recently. He lived in Greece, by choice :), and he raced his lovely Lotus Elan S4 here. He was a man whom everyone loved and admired as a racer. In the words of a journalist: "a true gentleman", which is more than can be said about most people - "public figures" or not.

Curiously, Richard had only good things to say about Greece - although it is certain that faults, such as bureaucracy for example, would have made his life more difficult in areas - at least compared to the so efficiently organized UK. I translate from an interview: Q: Do you live in Greece permanently? RW: I was born in Birmingham and I have lived in several European countries. For the past three years I have been living in Greece. Although saying "for ever" is rather vague, I would say that I want to live in Greece for many years to come.

I once watched Richard Ward, in his Lotus, hold a Ford GT40 back for five laps. It was a dry race, but Richard had got pole in the rain! Racing like this is very different from smoking your tyres for the camera.. (ask the Stig, he will tell you). It takes character, respect, and the ability to perceive subtleties. Details which, when added up, become more valuable than the obvious. I wonder if, through a similar process, Richard saw things about Greece that he deemed unusually valuable.

The temptation to "clean up" verbally or (in the past) otherwise, is ever-present. To paraphrase the ancient Greeks: Moderation is key.

The definition of "TOILET"

TOILET is a place that every leaving creature -even Jeremy- has to visit, at least once a day. In the unlikely event that he doesn't, the symptom (Greek word among ... 2040* others, given for free to the British and other civilized nations) is called "constipation".

My advise.

Visit TOILET as frequently as your highly successful banking society allows you to. It will help you defecate in the right place and not in your country as you unfailing do up to date.

Dear Jeremy Clarkson

pffff with a name like jeremy, frankenstein face, lanky frame, curly hair and little englander attitude
its obvious you d become a comedian,
probably many of those brits that saw you slag off greece are booking their holiday there
because your place is a dump, fact!

so thanks for the publicity moron,
you centrefold for UGLY magazine
you heaving spitting sexually depressed thug
who comes from the land of queers
how dare you call the greeks gay
what about the scots, is that a skirt for blokes? 50% of your parliament is nooftas, isnt it?
most pop stars, all your actors, designers, and lets
not forget the biggest queers of all...journalists!
(lets face it we invented everything, and naturally we invented this, nothing unusual there dork)
lets not forget that it was the greeks who invented democracy so that you can make money
slagging off anyone you fancy (literally)...with no consequences,
but what do you expect from an anal, right wing, sun writing, bush supporting, xenophobe like you
you're like a real basil fawlty without the moustache,
an eternal geek, who thinks hes got it all sussed out because he gets to talk more while he drives
waffle waffle waffle 10000, proof that nothing can save you from your own hype
faggot!
People like you self destruct, because none will go out of their way to come with up so much cack
to amuse people, but above all force your propaganda! After seeing bush win two terms,
you should run for prime minister, anything is possible, Clarkson.
Just remember the fact that we speak greek doesnt make us any the less intelligent or caustic (ye look
it up in the dictionary its another greek word like...ummm half of your language:)
For your information, Greece or better Hellas is not just a country....it's a lifestyle, something you
cannot experience in that dump, cold and dark place. So I empathise with you and your feelings
of inferiority, but as the old adage says, you cant have your cake and eat it, which is what
truly pisses you off jeremy!

[MESSALINA]

Thanks for the entertainment.

and l thought l was going to have boring day at the office!!!!!!!!!

My sister married a Greek many years ago and also married his mother at the same time. She used to have a set of keys and just wonder in when she felt like it, she lived opposite, until my father changed the locks. Greeks were famous for being homosexual and the word 'Greek' for anal sex was used until recently.
I have been to Greece many times and they still havn't got round to toilets that can actually take toilet paper and they leave you with a plastic bin in 30c heat. Very nice!
Their food has to be some of the worst in the world and their pine flavoured wine would take the paint of a tank.
Their men meddle in things they have no idea about and get excited when they can't fix it. They are experts in cooking and everything and yet her husband gets my sister out of bed when she has the flu to cook his dinner, while at other times tells her how to cook the lamb, peel the spuds, mix the gravy - and he can't even open a packet of fish fingers.
The waiters in Greece lean against the wall smoking until they decide they are bored and get their pad out and slink over.
Their women are destined to be like their mothers, short, fat hairy and dressed in black. Most of the modren Greeks are part Turkish anyway, so they are not the blue eyed, blond haired Greek Gods of old and yet they hate the Turks with passion.
Greeks get excited about anything and wave their arms around until nothing gets done. They have no concept of time and turn up when they feel like. My sister turned up an hour late for my son's christening because her husband decided to leave at the time they were supposed to be at the church. They once turned up over an hour late to meet at a resturant for dinner and because they didn't know the name of the resturant, we waited in the cold for them to appear. Apart from that Greece is a lovely place, shame about the people.

She married a Greek cause she couldn't find a man in england, britain, uk or whatever the hell you call the country you live in. If you don't like greece, then do us a favor and don't EVER come visit it. Tell also all the other vomiting drunkyards to go some place else for their summer vacations
