Top Gear Ground Force
« on: March 14, 2008, 22:29:27 »
Now im all for a bit of charity television...but!

Am I the only on to think that this is absolute rubbish on BBC2 i mean comeon in 30mins ive just watched them

Tip a mini digger over - making a mess with another one trying to pull it out
Concrete the grass over
Try weeding with a double barrell shot gun
Tree pruning with a double barrell shot gun
Smash the garden up with a crane, whilst trying to lift the bench over the top of a tree
Irrisponsable use of plant, and lack of common sense - stropping up a load whilst standnign under the job without head protection

I mean comeon I like the top gear guys but this is just stupid..... talk about promote irrisponsable use of fire arms and if those things happened on site i'd be up infront of the HSE!!!

Talk about waste of liscence fee money

I did think Clarkson and the shotgun was a bit much. It did however confirm my very worst opinions of the Hamsters' driving!  :lol:

The trouble is most people think that is completely rediculous and would never happen in the UK. However......
A few years ago one of the "incommers" :roll: in the village near us had a call from the boys in blue for shooting the tops out of some leylandii. What they arrested him for though was the live WW2 shell. Clarkson is not allown in this world 8-[


Like regular top gear its all as scripted as any soap opera, its as close to reality as a hollywood film and anyone unable to tell the differance between top gear and reality has got more pressing issues to deal with. Like it or loath it its entertainment, much like any other.
