I love how both May and Hammond have considered killing Clarkson with a shovel on separate occasions

[elijahbutterfield]

"I almost murdered him"
* smooth jazz *

[tgrizzly]

“ the closest I have ever came to killing Jeremy Clarckson”
*sips wine*
“Well there have been many occasions.”

[ElevatedJamTracks]

It's pretty clear now who should be the next Bond villain...

[chrissss]

"The closest i've ever come to killing Jeremy Clarkson..."
*gently sips red wine*

[raza.durrani]

I love how James and Jeremy's impression of each other is literally the same voice

[caboose.]

It's scary, because unlike Richard, I _believe_ James.

“He let civilization go out”

Damn that’s deep,

News: the fires in Australia finally stopped
James May with a flamethrower: civilization will rise

[chickentonight]

Only this man can talk about murder and still be very likeable anyway.

[mr.anderson]

"He let civilization go out." One day I'll use that line.

[TomNunan]

Jeremy: turns AC off
James: You've let civilisation go out

Title: The time May almost killed Clarkson
Me: *machete flashback*

[tortolini]

Well James, that's your mistake right there. You should have let Richard make the fire by himself, then it wouldn't have gone out for five days

[AdventuresThings]

The way he says “he let civilization go out” just about shovelled me.

[dave]

Not sure what it is about James May. He could talk about the engineering of a pencil for 20 minutes and for some damn reason, I'd listen to every word for the entire 20 minutes. And at the end, wonder why I did.

[Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

_"There have been many occasions, obviously..."_

*LMAO....*

[immortalsofar]

"He let civilisation go out."
If there's one phrase that sums up Clarkson's entire personality, that's it.

[TheoCachia]

who thought it was a good idea to let Clarkson maintain...anything?

[karabenomar]

"It's promethian" - A very James May thing to say
