Smuggest Person in Britain Poll

Sir Lord Alan Sugar? Slight title-overkill there! I didn't know that Christian Bale was British - he might be rather driven and intense, but I don't think that makes him smug. Smugness is usually applied to a smirking triumphalism, self-satisfaction and a usually misplaced sense of superiority. Surely there are some major sporting omissions there?
 
If there's a prize for patronising, can I put forward Ed Hall, a co-presenter on one of those house-search programmes? If that ill-dressed little twonk says, "Now go away and make the biggest decision of your adult lives" to one more person, I swear I'll swing for him. How the ferk does he know what decisions they've had to make - deciding to get married might be a start, let alone anything else!

Piers Morgan, Robert Cowell, Jonathan Ross, Jeremy Clarkson (it's way over time to stop doin' dat boyz 'n' da hood crap at your age)... the list is like Pringles crips!
 
Unfortunately, you're right, he is always on my mind - literally. That's because every bloody racecourse I go to seems to think it is a good idea to broadcast that nob non-stop at top volume, wittering on about utter shite.
 
I used to like Top Gear until it became a battle to see who could be the most blokeish, with Clarkson clearly on steroids. It's apparently a major money-spinner, given the enormous salaries Los Tres Amigos garner, and globally huge, but it's all about me, me, me with Clarkson booming and bellowing longer and louder every damn show. Fun and good banter's one thing, just constantly trying to assert as a rapidly-ageing Alpha Male is tiresome.
 
I think Clarkson's great. His first book in particular was hysterically funny, his observations are often spot on. I must admit he has gotten more over the top in recent years but I suspect the Top Gear management has a lot to do with that.
 
I think it's more a general thing of having to row in on what seems every issue with an extreme or controversial idea often designed to draw attention/get a rise that gets at me.

All of them really should all be burned at the stake to be quite honest.
 
Clarkson offers a counter-opinion on many subjects that we are traditionally encouraged not to question. I think that is valuable. He doesn't let the "accepted" view to prevent him from offering his.

What is perhaps more difficult to like is the manner in which he does it. By exaggerating so extravagantly, I think he knows people will say that he his ridiculous, but that perhaps his ideas have some base merit - if not to the extent that he has vocalised.

Regardless, having someone question the grey-suits every now and again is to be encouraged.
 
Clarkson is a wanker.

Forget any flim-flammery about him "saying what others are afraid to vocalise". It might give the erroneous impression that Clarkson is "edgy", when in fact, he is simply a wanker.

He could have the cure for cancer, for all I care.

It wouldn't stop him from being a towering shitehouse of a wanker.
