Popular Post Anthony Posted August 24 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 24 11 hours ago, lapal_fan said: The shop must be taking 10s of thousands of pounds everytime it's open. It's absolutely insane. I can only say, the guy is a genius. It absolutely doesn't surprise me that his pub is going to absolutely make a killing. How he does it, with his face like a melted jelly bean, I'll never know. But the guy knows how to lasso losers and make them spend money, me being one of them, and I hate myself for it. Can't stand the bloke personally. If he came out with a newspaper column, justifying his demonisation of benefit scroungers, using his countryside successes as examples of how anyone can do this, if they just got off their arse, it would be totally on brand and wouldn't surprise me in the least. This is a guy who empowers people to feel justified in voicing and spreading their cruel and unfeeling opinions about 'lesser' people. And you can totally guarantee he won't take responsibility for any negative consequences. I put him in the same box as Farage and Trump. Charisma, used for personal gain, with awful consequences that they will never acknowledge or encounter. **** these people. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither did the people who enjoyed the farm show...they just felt like it was something to do. Top Gear in the late 90s used to be interesting, but as soon as it became about Clarkson, May and Hammond doing stupid challenges, it was shit. I just felt like I was complicit in all of the nonsense by going. That said, the brewery is actually good and the beer is lovely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was genuinely doing that, he'd be promoting other farms near his farm when there's a two hour wait to get into his, selling identical produce. So yes, he's raising awareness on how farming works, how tough it is (when he's not pratting around with things he knows are a waste of time, but hes not exactly offering support to farms around him directly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't stop people from flocking to his place though. He seems to have a popularity beyond any rational basis. James May has a pub, but doesn't have the same impact.

mjmooney Posted August 31 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31 On the BBC news, reporting the ParaOlympics, why do they refer to sports like swimming and cycling simply by their names, but then 'para taekwondo'. Why not 'paraswimming', etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not 'paraswimming', etc.? Is it because he rules are substantially different? Swimming is still just a race with different entry qualifications whereas taekwondo might have modified rules? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
