Suzuki or Ghomeshi? Ghomeshi is at least someone who allegedly committed sexual assault. No idea about Suzuki.

Then again it's Fiddle, what do you expect?

You've never heard of a "high revving throttle" in reference to Suzuki?

Jeremy Clarkson alludes to 'BBC sacking' at charity event.

[xerxes]

It's starting to look more and more like he wanted to be fired. Especially with that foul mouthed tirade.

He's no Charlie Sheen that's for sure.

Jeremy Clarkson has been mostly quiet after being suspended by the BBC for allegedly punching a producer.

At a charity event in London last night, he spoke his mind a little bit, in typical carefree Clarkson fashion. And U.K. newspaper The Guardian has video.

The videos, shown below, only catch a brief few seconds of Clarkson’s off-the-cuff remarks, but according to The Guardian he said a bit more than what’s shown.

“The BBC have f**ked themselves,” the paper quotes Clarkson as having said onstage. “It was a great show and they f**ked it up.”

The event was a charity auction, and Clarkson was there to raffle off a chance to ride shotgun in a lap around the Top Gear test track with him at the wheel. The paper reports that the opportunity sold for £100,000—nearly $150,000 at today’s exchange rates.

According to The Guardian, Clarkson told the audience: “I didn’t foresee my sacking but I would like to do one last lap. So I’ll go down to Surrey and I’ll do one last lap of that track before the f**king bastards sack me.”

“I’ll drive somebody around in whatever I can get hold of. I’m sacked so it’s probably an Austin Maestro. So who knows? But anyway it will be my last-ever lap of the Top Gear track,” the Top Gear star added.

“There was an 18-year waiting list to be in the audience of Top Gear, but the BBC has f**ked themselves. It was a great show and they’ve f**ked it up,” he said, according to The Guardian.

Fans aren’t taking the threat of a Clarkson-less Top Gear lightly. An online petition to “save Jeremy Clarkson” netted one million e-signatures, which were symbolically delivered to the BBC’s front door today by a tank-driving Stig.

On the video clip shown below, Clarkson concludes his mini speech by saying “I’ll be a bit tearful when I do it, but f**k it, let’s do it.”

Despite Clarkson’s claims that he’s been “sacked,” we still don’t have official word from the BBC—the network’s official report on its internal investigation is due out next week. And, frankly, this little soliloquy is a textbook example of Clarkson being Clarkson, saying some outlandish and incendiary things in front of an audience that’s been dying to hear it.

Regardless of what happens, don’t cry too hard for Clarkson. No matter what the BBC decides, he’ll be just fine. Here are two snippets from his onstage speech:

True. He's not at the drug fueled pornstar orgies yet.

But slagging off your bosses when your job is on the line isn't smart. Which is what makes me think he wanted out all along.

[Tricks]

Might want out so they can move to a different channel. May and Hammond have already said if Clarkson is gone so are they, they'll all just move. That show probably makes BBC more money by itself than everything netflix has combined. A lot of channels will clamber after them.

[martin14]

It's official, he's gone.

It beggars belief how stupid the BBC chiefs are.

[Regina]

With all their contracts up for renewal this year, you wonder if the other two will stay. It's a great gig for sure.

May and Hammond have said 'no thanks'.

[DrCaleb]

Ahh well,and just as Clarkson finally learnt what a truck is for.

Thanks for all the laughs over the years!

Maybe the CBC has found a replacement for HNIC?

[xerxes]

I'm sad but not too surprised either. Read the report. He fought him for 30 seconds after giving him the R. Lee Ermey treatment for 20 minutes. If anyone of us did this at our jobs I dare say that wed fired for that as well (except maybe for my job. There's no standards there).

Those three wouldn't know the right side up of a hockey stick if it was shoved

where the sun don't shine...... sideways.


They'll probably go to SKY or ITV.

BBC2 will come up with 3 new presenters, and the show will bomb.

Bye bye more than 50 million pounds a year.

CBC won't have any hockey at all in the next year or so. I was saying their version of TG could replace the time slot. But that will never happen though.
Sounds like Clarkson was a bit of a financial liability and big business is all about limiting liability. CBC may have to shell out some cash as well, when Gomeshi runs through court. No touching the help!!
