He spoke about his voyage to the edge of space and described being moved by the sight of the curvature of the Earth and the profound thoughts it inspired in him. And then, instinctively, he undercut it all by saying "and then I went to the pub and I forgot about it all". It was as if he suddenly thought he might get bullied by Clarkson and Hammond for being a wet and a weed. Even uber-lad Ross took him to task over it.Nick Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18113940103104310990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-38539920587490084432009-07-27T16:00:37.188+01:002009-07-27T16:00:37.188+01:00Clarkson was showing off.

In fact, the Guardian are happy to print it in full anywhere at all. I'm always surprised. So on that basis, perhaps we're all behind the times. <br /><br />I use it copiously myself, though never in polite company.
