E<N KFG ><8I :I<N KF :I8J?
AN AA van went past me as I was driving home and I noticed the driver was sobbing.
I thought to myself, that bloke’s heading for a breakdown.
Something else on course for a crash is the new series of Top Gear.
It’s been announced that the new presenters will be Paddy McGuinness and Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff.
How on earth have the BBC come up with that combination?
I imagine a bunch of p***ed-up, middle class Beeb execs randomly chucked darts at a board with a bunch of “laddish” celebs’ faces on it.
It was probably just a wire width away from the hosts being James Corden and Robbie Savage.
It remains to be seen if it will be a success but I’m not holding out too much hope.
For a start neither of them have any obvious knowledge of cars.
As far as I can tell Freddie’s only experience with transport was when he was caught steering a pedalo while stinking drunk.
And when Paddy McGuinness isn’t riding pal Peter Kay’s coattails, he’s driving viewers around the twist with his cringeworthy gags on dating show Take Me Out. Me no likey.
But to be fair it can’t be any worse than the great Matt Le Blanc project. The show didn’t win many Friends with that choice.
But they will still fail to fill the loafers of Clarkson and co.
It’s still a shame Jeremy, May and Hammond left to make a shambles of British politics.
Or am I thinking of Corbyn, Theresa and Philip? I’m easily confused.
Anyway, I reckon it’s a good bet that the show comes crashing down like Clarkson’s fist on a producer’s face. TOP GEAR SPECIAL BETS (Paddy Power):
