annoying die hating quite shown signs teacher
I like to be loved by my children, and I quite like the 'Guardian' hating me. I like it when I read they want me to die painfully. Then I think I've really got under their skin. It's like annoying a teacher. Once they've shown signs of weakness, you really can go for them.
argentina countries shoot
Argentina and Burma. I have been to most of the countries in the world, but not those two. I want to shoot doves in Argentina. Burma, of course, because no one has really been there.
bbc gabriel hanging inevitable offended offensive somewhere survive time
I've been told by the BBC that if I make one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time, I will be sacked. And even the angel Gabriel would struggle to survive with that hanging over his head. It's inevitable that one day, someone, somewhere will say that I've offended them, and that will be that.
sexually-transmitted-diseases people syphilis
This is the Renault Espace, probably the best of the people carriers. Not that that's much to shout about. That's like saying “Ooh good I've got syphilis, the BEST of the sexually transmitted diseases.”
mistake glasses two
It’s what non-car people don’t get. They see all cars as just a ton and a half, two tons of wires, glass, metal, and rubber, and that’s all they see. People like you or I know we have an unshakable belief that cars are living entities… You can develop a relationship with a car and that’s what non-car people don’t get… When something has foibles and won’t handle properly, that gives it a particularly human quality because it makes mistakes, and that’s how you can build a relationship with a car that other people won’t get.
top-gear faster cool-cars
A turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.
awful cost realising
I started to realise that being impolite saves an awful lot of time and costs you nothing.
looks being-smart smarter
Being smarter than you look is better than looking smarter than you are.
sex wagons top-gear
The Suzuki Wagon R should be avoided like unprotected sex with an Ethiopian transvestite
clouds understanding delight
Some say that he has no understanding of clouds, and that his ear wax tastes like Turkish Delight. All we know is he’s called the Stig.
bison ends
Americans are good at herding Bison. The end.
daughter top-gear yeah
I rang up Jay Kay, who's got one, and said: 'Can we borrow yours?' and he said, 'Yeah, if I can borrow your daughter, because it amounts to the same thing.'
night woods top-gear
Some say he never blinks, and that he roams around the woods at night foraging for wolves. All we know is he’s called the Stig.
dog book taken
She can take a year to read something, whereas I like a book that becomes more important in my life that life itself. When I was in the middle of 'Red Storm Rising' by Tom Clancy - which was not selected for the Man Booker shortlist - you could have taken my liver out and fed it to the dog. And I wouldn't have noticed.
