Probably rape as we have seen that Ched Evans had his supporters. He may have got away with murdering the producer if he had provided a steak that was undercooked and the peppercorn sauce was slightly off. A jury could see that as just provocation after a long days work.

According to a witness Clarkson said that he would see that the producer would lose his job. Nice. This is a bloke that thinks it is perfectly ok to make derogatory remarks at Johnny Foreigner's expense and is on a final warning for his own poor behaviour. God knows what the poor producer did but it must have been right off the scale!

Cant produce what? A steak?

It is Jeremy Clarkson we are talking about here not Beyoncé or Madonna. Has he really hit the peaks of stardom where he has someone employed to wipe his backside? It doesn't sound like there wasn't a meal organised, just that they got back after the hot meals had finished. The pub in my village stops taking orders for meals at 8.30pm. It may have been a long day. He may well have been tired. We have all been there. But it is 2015 and you cant tell me that it was impossible to find some hot food somewhere in the vicinity. I don't know if he hit him or not but it certainly sounds like there was some unpleasantness, enough to get him suspended. Storm in a tea cup? If you think treating a work colleague like sh*t isn't worth bothering about I would disagree. Still, lets see what the hearing brings. Another final, final warning maybe?

Sorry Morgan but it looks like your old chap has got frost bite to me. No worries, I'll soon get the circulation going again though!

Cant remember the origins. Is it that the Last Supper was supposed to have been on a Friday and their were 13 present?

My first wife used to call the police when we argued, which was frequently, and they used to take me away. When I said that I was the injured party they just said sorry mate but when there a children involved they always remove the husband in domestics. On one occasions my mother in law attacked me, cutting my arm with keys she held in her hand. This was because I was on the phone to my mother and they had come back looking for accommodation as my ex was going to move out. I think they wanted to use the phone and caused a "fracas." Despite the fact that I had done nothing I was arrested and spend the night in the nick. My ex punched me in the face on one occasion but I was lucky. She treated her first husband so badly that he killed himself. I didn't find out the truth about him until after my marriage broke down and only then from his family. I was lucky, I had clothes torn or thrown out of the bedroom window. My dog was given away behind my back. I only had mental trauma and ended up with The Priory for several months. It could have been worse. Domestic violence is terrible but it is not all one way traffic. I felt too embarrassed to say anything about the way I was being treated and I am sure many men feel the same. I agree that it is mainly men causing violence against women but not always. The posters you see all over the place about DV ought to be changed to make the point that all DV is wrong, no matter who perpetrates it.

A family staying in the hotel where Clarkson had the fracas which led to his suspension as Top Gear host said he launched a tirade of abuse at a colleague and said he would have him fired. The row which has drawn in the Prime Minister, the director-general of the BBC and led to 800,000 people signing a petition to save his job was over an alleged punch thrown at producer Oisin Tymon when the 54-year-old thought he could not have a £21.95 hot steak. Clarkson was staying at the Simonstone Hall Hotel near Hawes, North Yorkshire, and came into the bar at around 9.30pm after a day filming last Wednesday. According to an interview with Sky News, Bob Ward, 60, from Leeds, who was also staying there with wife Denise, brother Alan and his wife Sue, asked for a selfie with the millionaire presenter. Mr Ward said the star replied: “No, not with the day I have had.” The sales rep then “sat down with my tail between his legs”, he told Sky News. Sue Ward, 54, a medical receptionist, claimed Clarkson then said “it was ridiculous there was nothing to eat” and she said he thought the colleague had not done his job properly. “Obviously there lots of expletives in between all this,” she added. She said Clarkson told the colleague “he would see to it that he would be losing his job”. Her sister-in-law Denise was shocked, although she did understand Clarkson turning down the request for a selfie. She told Sky News: “It was just the swearing and the length of time and this poor guy he was ripping into.” Alan Ward, a Top Gear fan, felt Clarkson should not lose his job over the incident. “He is brash, we know what he is like,” he said. “He has been in trouble before, I think he will be in trouble again. “But I don’t think he will lose his job at the BBC because without Clarkson, there’s no Top Gear I don’t think.” The Top Gear star has attracted high profile support with David Cameron calling him a “huge talent” and saying he hoped the situation could be resolved so his children would not be left “heartbroken”. BBC director-general Tony Hall has also said he was a “fan” of Clarkson, but added that allegations of a fracas were “serious”. A BBC disciplinary panel has already been convened to decide his fate. Ken MacQuarrie, the head of BBC Scotland who conducted the investigation into Newsnight’s false expose of Lord McAlpine, is to chair the panel with witnesses expected to be called by the end of the week. A lawyer for Mr Tymon said his client “intends to await the outcome of the BBC investigation and will make no comment until that investigation is complete”. When questioned on whether he supported the Top Gear presenter, Clarkson’s co-host James May said: “In many ways no, I have said many times before the man is a knob, but I quite like him. It’s all getting a bit ridiculous.” Asked what he could remember about the row, May said: “Not very much, I was blind drunk.” Clarkson could walk away from the show when his contract runs out at the end of the month. All three of the show’s hosts were understood to be days away from signing new contracts that would have kept them at the wheel of the show for another three years when Clarkson was suspended. The BBC owns the rights to the Top Gear brand, which is valued at £50 million, and includes the show, DVD rights and live shows, raising the prospect of Top Gear continuing on the BBC while Clarkson takes a similar show to one of its rivals. 0 Share0 Read more: http://www.westernmorningnews.co.uk/Jeremy-Clarkson-ripped-colleague-fracas/story-26163775-detail/story.html#ixzz3UDdaDzWf Follow us: @WMNNews on Twitter | westernmorningnews on Facebook If true nice that he wanted someone to be sacked because he couldn't get a steak. Man of the people? Pah.

Are you saying that Mr Clarkson, for all of his stance against the PC brigade and the "nanny society" cant sort himself out a hot meal and needs someone to do it for him? Surely not!

Apparently this was done but they turned up late. Now I don't know about you but if plans change then I think it is not unreasonable to try and find another solution. Hitting a producer wouldn't figure in my plans if I wanted a hot meal. Mr Clarkson is used to driving fast is he not? Couldn't he of shot off in one of the many cars at his disposal and found a hot meal somewhere else? Not that hard is it?

Clearly that are the business if so many people rate them. Dunked they are the dogs danglies.

I hope he took it well? I might have responded along the lines of - well I used to stick your toothbrush up my @rse

I can ask Mrs SOG to collect up the hair next time she goes for a waxing if that helps?

Didn't know that Whitey, thanks for the info.

Indeed. I wasn't a big fan of Maya but accept he hasn't had a bad season this year. However, he does make errors that lead to goals that a better player wouldn't make - that header being a prime example. You don't put a clearance in the danger zone.

He probably didn't even think about it when he was a happy careless hippy but it has come back to bite him in the bum now big time. Having sided with him at first and now having seen the item on the news last night apparently he has not provided for the child at all. Given that he is now minted would it really hurt to make some provision for the child? It may have been a brief liaison some time ago, but his 2 minutes and 52 seconds of squelching noises (as I think Johnny Rotten once charmingly called sex) did result in his partner becoming the mother of his child - don't think he should get away scot free on this one.

Did you mean Merkin Saint?

If you are going to write books in the fantasy genre, this is what you should look like.

66 is no age is it? Like many here, not read his books although I have seen some TV adaptations. Another like Douglas Adams that have left the world a richer place for their having been here. RIP Sir Terry.

Maybe. Did you Batman? Agreed, it seems very odd that so many people are prepared to sign this petition when they have no idea if he did thump someone or not. Thing is I am sure they don't really care. They just want their programme back. Still, as we have found, even if your stars leave they are not irreplaceable!

Felt sorry for Ibrahimovic last night. Don't think he deserved a red card but very happy with the result. Hopefully we can add to their misery!

I don't know but I certainly wouldn't let anyone near my meat and two veg with a cut throat razor!!!
