Custard Pie for Clarkson

[WageSlave]

The outspoken Top Gear presenter was at Oxford Brookes University to collect an honorary degree in recognition of his "passion for engineering".

You know your career has hit the bottom when you have to accept degrees from Oxford Brookes!

[The Late, Great JC]

Fair play to the chap, seemed to handle it very well.

Now, I'd have done a two jags, got a crafty jab in before my minders dive in and haul me out to save me from too much of a drubbing!

Poor old Jeremy...

Broadcaster Jeremy Clarkson has been hit in the face with a custard pie at a degree ceremony.

The outspoken Top Gear presenter was at Oxford Brookes University to collect an honorary degree in recognition of his "passion for engineering".

Protesters, including members of Oxford's Green Party, assembled outside the presentation dressed in Clarkson's trademark tight jeans and wigs.

The protestor dashed out in front of the television cameras and, as Mr Clarkson posed in his cap and gown, removed what appeared to be a custard pie from a wrapped-up newspaper and hit him full in the face.

The startled presenter maintained his cool, quipped "good shot" and posed for a few more pictures before beating his retreat.

He defended his record on environmental issues, saying: "I do have a disregard for the environment. I think the world can look after itself and we should enjoy it as best we can."
