Taking my aggravation out with a nice little oppo post. I don't think Hurricane Spencer is very happy about this either .

Maybe we can ship oisin down to Texas and we can teach him how to fight back and be a man. Until then I guess my favorite TV show of all time besides Thunder in Paradise is gone.

Oh, quit complaining. A man was assaulted, the assaulter was punished for doing the act. It's that simple. If you think your entertainment is above someone's right to not be attacked in their workplace, then maybe you need a perspective check.

Yeah I can imagine the story if he had fought back properly. Producer fired from job he loves for punching a much richer and more powerful man.

I think he was too smart to fight back, he still has his job after all.

OH quit wasting your breath I said in the very first sentence that I'm letting out some aggravation with a oppo post. You sound like Oisin Tymon..

The only person to blame here is Clarkson, who apparently didn't learn "keep your hands to yourself" back in kindergarten.

All aggravation and BS aside. By firing Clarkson they practically ended top gear .. Ending that guys job correct ?

Yeah, but in Texas they have guns :p

You assault someone on the job, you get fired. Plain and simple.

They said he still has a job. There are other TV shows to work on, plus Top Gear might continue.

Look we all have co workers we don't like he just had the balls to ring his neck. I can think of someone within 50 feet of me I'd love to throw hands with but it would mean us both losing our jobs and that's not a very good idea.. Although it's nice to day dream about .

HAHA!! A friend of mine got roundhouse kicked by the co-star in a karate tournament back in the day. He's still bitter.

but does he? I can't really imagine the show continuing at this point. I was actually just thinking about this. Everyone is focused on Clarkson the producer and the other two hosts. I bet the shows ends and how many people are out of a job who really had nothing to do with the fight? I bet its alot of people when you go down to sound guys, video editors, set hands, etc. The whole situation is shitty.

Tymon actually hasn't said much of anything. Clarkson reported the incident...

Yeah..."having the balls" to physically assault someone isn't a positive quality, sorry.

Well within a year the gang will be on a motoring show together I bet, they'll bring in guys they like with them in that case. Plus the BBC needs producers, camera guys, editors etc for other shows within the company. Plus they'll likely recast the show and continue, they'll need people to work on that.

Clarkson got Clarkson fired, but either way he still has a job for now. If he's a competent producer I doubt any potential employer would give a shit about the Clarkson thing, if he isn't a competent producer he'd be out of work eventually either way.

day dreaming about cold clocking an obnoxious co-worker is fine and frankly normal.

Actually hitting the guy would just like you said "mean you lose your job".

Why would that be different for Clarkson?

He probably has A job as a producer somewhere on the BBC. Maybe temporarily on Top Gear if they try to go with new hosts.

I'd also bet that he didn't think Clarkson would lose his job. Tymon didn't even report the incident.

I give him some credit for keeping a cool head. At the time he probably figured he'd take some shit and maybe keep his job and just move on. If he had come back swinging that would have definitely terminated his position as a producer.

o yea, its all Clarkson's fault, I dont blame Tymon. I hate to see the show end but he's done a lot of stupid stuff and eventually has to learn his lesson. Too bad it had to be done like this.

Coming from someone who drove without a license and bashing people, right?
