You mean you don't trust the internets? It's a series of truth tubes lol

I appreciate your post. It's just that this thread would be the last place on earth I'd look for accurate information on anything - sources cited or not. Take it solely for it's sheer entertainment value.

30 minutes of brutal ranting about cold food.
Hotel guests saw most of it and described as over the top.

He reported himself a few days later.

Oh...He was drunk off his ass.
Rose' wine.

theguardian.co.uk has the best info so far, BBC News is good for cross reference on what might be exaggerated. Lots of good stuff to read on it in the UK press.

Not condoning bad behavior but I have this feeling if JC punches someone they probably had it coming.

Just sayin'

If it was a half hour rant in a hotel lobby, I'm really surprised none of it was caught on cell phone video.

Probably spilled in and out of a banquet type room where the caterer had stuff set up.
I believe it said they got back to the hotel later than planned.
He/ they stopped at a pub after wrap.
Kitchen was already closed or something and he went coco puff.
Man needed his meat pie and curry with that vino buzz.

I don't think Europe is as fascinated with other people's business quite like Americans.
I don't like my picture taken and am not about to snap other people for giggles or what not.
Maybe it's my British bloodline lol.

I'd probably punch someone too if they didn't feed me after a whole day of work and I was depending on them doing so.

There was plenty of food.
He said it wasn't hot enough and the hotel kitchen told them they were closed.
Caterers sternos must have run out while he was slamming back wine?

Latest update is that Clarkson is officially gone from tg.

This is depressing. Say what you will, but he is a one of a kind presenter that could capture a massive audience.

A quick Google search revealed no media reports of Clarkson being fired. Proof, please.

I am not at all surprised or feel a sense of loss because of this. You punch a coworker, you should get fired. Period. Been a TG watcher the past decade but you cross the line when you physically harm someone. JC is no exception

If he actually gets fired. JC will find work very quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if Hamster and Captain Slow soon follow. He already has been offered big money from iTV.

I will not watch a JC-less Top Gear.
