Personally, I prefer Clarkson's simple, direct 1 word insult. Daffodil. Says it all.

Excellent.
Coleman's style is a bit too much of a rant for me. But even if he toned down his delivery, Brown still comes out of it as frighteningly incompetent. And we know that this stuff is true.

The author, Vernon Coleman, is a doctor.
I think he once had a medical Q & A column in the Express, and he may even have been the original inspiration for Private Eye's spoof "A Doctor Writes" section.
edit: I checked that Wikipedia article, and it seems he didn't write for the Express:
He has worked as a tabloid newspaper columnist, producing a spoof "agony uncle" column in the Sunday People which became memorable for the vehemence of his opinions. On one occasion he argued that if some children diagnosed with autism were stuck “up to their necks in a vat full of warm sewage for 10 hours they would soon learn some manners”.Last edited by OwlHoot; 22 February 2010, 10:47.
