Personally, I've always found him a childish, arrogant little
****.

Do you know the exact meaning of the term you have used to
describe this unpleasant but undoubtedly male individual? It
seems to me to be a singularly inappropriate choice of word to
describe Clarkson.


Have you not seen his hairstyle?

Three years ago my mother was also treated with a lack of care in
hospital, not medical attention - a lack of human kindness.

In her last few days of life she was isolated in a room (unidentified
infection) wearing a CPAP hood (continuous positive airway pressure) to
aid her breathing. Mum's lungs were badly damaged due to a rare form of
pneumonia and her body was fast fading, due to the effort to breathe.

CPAP hoods are noisy contraptions and she was hard of hearing. Yet the
nurses would enter her room and stand at the end of her bed to ask if
she needed anything. From Mum's perspective all she can see is some
young nurse lips moving, as she strains to hear through the noisy
contraption that was trying to keep her alive. She continually explained
to them that they needed to talk through the porthole in the hood so she
could understand them, to no avail sadly.

Looking like something from Bleep and Booster,

Yikes, you are going back a few years there. I thought that I was the
only one to remember them, but then I was a Blue Peter groupie for a
time.

I think it was the Christopher Trace phenomenon; his train set
appeared much bigger than everyone else's.
