News Clarkson suspended

[Moriath]

Don't understand why you're having a pop at the beeb rather than the guy who physically assaulted a junior.

What do you think the beeb should do instead in this case?

The Beeb should have run the shows without clarkson is what he was saying I think. But they don't have the balls to

It's a bit like Níamh (nye-ahm to the uninformed), but the í has an 'ee' sound like in Roisín and the 'mh' has a 'v' sound (There is no 'v' in Scots Gaelic amongst others, so two letters combine to make a sound) so is pronounced 'neeve'. If memory serves 'bh' can also make a 'v' depending on other letter combinations.

I think the person who translated Irish names into English was on the Irish smack

 

[old.user4556]

... and to think those fucknuggets at the SNP want to teach more Gaelic in schools even though it has a dwindling minority of speakers.

 

[Billargh]

And makes zero fucking sense.

Bingo, let the show going on whilst they conduct their investigation would be a start.

And then maybe, if it was such a cut and dried assault, maybe drop the puncher from the live shows rather than the entire bbc brand?

As it is, they've kind of backed themselves into a corner, and admitted that the 3 guys pretty much are the show.

What would I have done if I was the BBC? Probably waited until the end of the series, then not renewed his contract til he had counselling /anger management. He doesn't exactly have a history of violence (Piers Morgan excepted, and isn't that a public service?), and was under a massive amount of pressure, both to make the shows and dealing with the constant rage from Guardian readers over his continued existence. Add in a recent divorce and bereavement and two dodgy hips I can kind of see why he snapped. Doesn't excuse it, no, but does explain it.

Don't think it's about balls - I think the fans had already paid to see the three of them together.

I think it's a good compromise tbh.

Haven't they also made some changes to the Visit Scotland website, such as putting foundation of the SNP as an important date in Scotlands history?

Well, he's only gone and joined the Guardian's fossil fuel campaign!

Hmmmm, I'm not sure about that. It doesn't sit right to me. Do you think he's taking the piss?

 

[Calaen]

Given the date maybe it is

 

[Scouse]

No Trem. I think he's deadly serious.

Edit: awww @Calaen

 

[Calaen]

Sowwy I was just sat thinking if people actually fall for Aprils fool stuff anymore My faith in humanity has been restored by Trem

 

[DaGaffer]

My missus just got me with an April fool and I completely fell for it. First time in my adult life. I'm livid. And worried that she's really good at keeping deadpan as she's lying.

[Moriath]

How to pronounce aoife. An Irish name.

 

[caLLous]

Obviously...

But the a is at the start and the e at the beginning. :'(

 

[old.user4556]

Tough one, I was close, knew there was an 'EE-FEH' sort-of sound in there somewhere.

Scary enough iit's starting to make sense.

You couldn't make it up, multiple sources are putting unfunny lesbian Sue Perkins in pole position to front the show.
They should give it to Jo Brand, she would nail it...I,d watch her rip the shit out of cars.

 

[ECA]

Sue Perkins lol, they must really want to kill it off.

Does she even like cars?

All seems a bit pat to me, she's like the anti-Clarkson. Makes for a story on a slow news day but I'm pretty doubtful.

Apparently the Sun is also saying the three of them already have a Netflix deal in the offing; which seems a bit more likely, but its the Sun, so who the fuck knows?

What's the betting this'll be the most watched episode of HIGNFY ever?
