Jeremy Clarkson v George Monbiot. Starts on the topic of 4x4s going up a
Scottish mountain. Monbiot questions JC's virility. Slanging match ensues.

You need to fast forward to about 31 mins into the programme

 

Excellent !

Heh, just listening now. Clarkson is a prat. So is Monbiot.

 

Clarkson's great.

He does what he believes is right.

 

Why is Clarkson a prat? Because he let himself get caught on the
defensive?

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

Clarkson's a twat, but that other one outwatted him by a fair margin,
imo.

Because of all the places he could have tested the abilities of the
vehicle where it wouldn't have done any harm to the landscape and instead
made a huge target for the eco-nuts.

George is a prat because he failed to hit it.

 

Hmm, RealAudio only that one. What would the collective recommend as an
alternative to RealPlayer?

 

tallbloke emerged from their own little world to say

Indeed, he lost all credibility once he made a personal attack on JC. As
this was at the beginning the "debate" became a farce. Quite funny though
as it was on R2 just after noon.

 

"Trouser problem"

<Snort>

 

Ben Tongue has a track right the way to the summit, where there is a
radio mast.

Hit it? He missed it by a mile.

That's one of the reasons I don't listen to Radio 2 - fucking Daily
Mail radio!

I thought JC acquitted himself quite well and GM was a complete
wanker.

 

Not that Jeremy used it. I have to say that in the big pullaway in a
helicopter shot on the programme, there was no mast or track in evidence.
Are you sure you have the right location?

Swot I Sed innit?

 

I was listening to it happen live, as it happens.

I was quietly pissing myself, especially when JC opined that matey had
made a complete tit of himslef in record time on national radio.
Better was to follow, as a young lady rang in to decalim the
usefulness of breasts, then went on to say that she rides a 1000cc
motorcycle and loves going slowly and loudly through little villages.

 

Well he went up a stream at the beginning.

The heather's not very natural anyway, is it?
I though it was cultivated to grow grouses in.

Well, when I watched it, I thought he was over by Cape Wrath. The beeb
website suggested he was in Cromarty, and the Vine show said Ben
Tongue. Which is near Tongue. He definitely drove over the causeway,
cos I recognised it in the film. Which confused me a bit.

Yes.

An opening line of "Jeremy's got a small cock" isn't going to get many
fence sitters on your side, is it?

Yup

Monbiot just came across as an idiot relying on personal attacks and
trying to talk over the top of JC, in an attempt to win.

Heather moors formed after all the caledonian forest was logged out.
It's a fragile environment which carries it's scars for a long time.
A set of gratuitous tyre tracks up a hillside is a noticable intrusion
into an otherwise starkly beautiful scene.

To this extent I agree with Monbiot

Which causeway where?

I'm not taking sides because I'm a noisy petrolhead who also enjoys
peaceful rambles up mountains.

And I don't care about the size of Jeremy's todger. <Ewww>

I think Monbiot came in all guns blazing because he thought if he didn't
take the offensive first, he'd fall prey to Jeremy's micky-taky-
knockabout-commonsense-stupidity. As it was, the main casualty was the
subject matter rather than the participants.

 

Nobiot can be a bit earnest at times...

I was listening to Making History on R4, where they were talkingabout
Molly Dancing
http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/beyond/factsheets/makhist/makhist10_prog5d.shtml
and not a single reference to her racing abilities - typical BBC bias
;o)

 

I bet if you went there now, you couldn't find the tracks.

It's not as if Scotland's short of a square yard or two of heather
moorland, is it?

Does this Monbiot character get the raving arseholes when gamekeepers
burn the heather back to encourage new growth?

Or is that okay, cos it's not done in a car?
