Clarkson got pied!

I was at Oxford Brookes University getting an honorary engineering doctorate, which means I am now Dr Clarkson.

So I am dressed up like Henry VIII.

There had been a lot of talk beforehand about a protest being staged — and ten of them turn up.

The protest was something about the environment. One of them got in and lobbed a custard pie.

It was a delicious pie, I ate it all. It saved me a trip to the baker’s shop.

I am very grateful that I didn’t have to make any lunch.

And at least they didn’t dig my granny up.

You have no idea how much I am going to re-double my efforts in the next series of Top Gear. There will be no more Mr Nice Guy.

There will be no tree, leaf, cloud, lawn, peat bog or environmental precious place that I won’t drive over.

If they do it again I will start on the foxes.


Millions of people enjoy Top Gear and they are more important than some bird with a pre-menstrual problem.

The pie definitely wasn’t organic. And just think how much jet fuel was used flying the banana over here.

The protester was just some angry bird. But she should be allowed to go lobbing custard pies in the faces of people she doesn’t like.

I behaved better than John Prescott did when a protester threw an egg at him.


I told her it was a great shot and then I told her she had used too much sugar in the mix.

I knew it was going to happen. I even put an old suit on because I knew I was going to get covered in food.

It wasn’t that bad. It was just a little bit of custard around my face. Nothing a flannel couldn’t put right.

They can all go hug a tree.

that's pretty funny. Handled it well.

What a damn good sport, that Clarkson. And a damn fine motoring journalist, IMHO.

[Ferrari330P4]

Kudos to clarkson. I would have punched her in the face.

Now that's class!

Never really been a fan of Clarkson. Seems a little too old and tall to be such a cocky *******. What ever happened to British self-depricating humor?

That makes you a fan, my friend! Thats what he's trying to do. You either appreciate it or you don't. I can't recall meeting anyone I agreed with a hundred percent or even half the time in print or when socializing.

Hrmm not sure I follow the fan = dislike someone theory, but personally ...
I'd take whatever he's making and offer double that to Tiff Needell. Now there is a man with a passion for automobiles.

[FerrariF50lover]

Tiff is the best journalist ever. I love to watch him drive cars hes so calm and cool and absoutly loves cars. Clarkson gave the gt a great review so i gotta say i like him a little bit.

[HIGHROLLERM85]

I can understand wanting to put a pie in Tony Blair's face or Prince Harry and Williams, but I dont get why someone would throw a pie as Clarkson.

[J.Clark]

He should sue the chit out of her! Just for fun, like she did it.

[snj5]

While not a clarkson aficiando, he handled that with great aplomb. Well done, indeed.

[Tifosi66]

He handled it well. I like JC and Tiff Needell except JC gets my vote for that extra pizzazz of humour and undisguised disdainful comment.

well, seeing as how it happened in england, and not america, that wont happen. from my little trip to europe, i learned that people dont go sueing each other over little things like that. i like clarkson, even through all of his american bashing, i like him.
