    So why the running away business?

      You have to be a middle aged man with a juvenile sense of "humour" who thinks that showing off by doing something stupid will make the other boys like you.

      At least that's what Clarkson appeared to be doing when I watched it.

        If you don't like it why watch it?
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          Clarksons "point" was that since Porches' have the engine at the "wrong end" logically the bowl of the pipe should be at the wrong end as well. Having stuck it in his gob the burning herbal substance ( it wasnt tobacco according to the Beeb ) promptly used up the available air supply in there and proceeded to suck air in through the stem, forcing burning embers and smoke into his mouth to the amusement of all concerned.

              I Don't watch it. I have seen it. It's a tragic love-in for 3 obviously bed-sharing presenters, with a flock of sheep baaing apppreciatively, whilst most with a brain look on with a mixture of loathing, boredom and acid hatred.

                Well I thought the pipe thing was funny. Sadly perhaps.

                  Since my son, 16 and easily distracted, watches it I end up catching bits of it as well. I have to admit to a frisson of excitment when it appeared Clarkson might actually get run down by a Sea Cat ferry in Dover harbour but apart from that and the spectacal of JC setting fire to his own mouth there wasnt really much to recommend it.

                    Oh, the comedy.

                      Anyway, smoking pipes doesn't count as smoking on life assurance forms, shouldn't it be the same?
