    Things that annoy you

    Do that in your driving test and it's an instant fail. "Drive on the left" is the requirement. People just don't understand the rules of the road these days. Standards of driving have fallen off a cliff.

    John, you need to stop, for the sake of my marriage! My wife is a fabulous cook, but you, my friend, are making me doubt my life choices. I don't care if i have to emigrate to GA!

    He works on TalkSport and TNT - they have issued no comment but his details have been removed from his agent's website. Total cancellation, it seems.

    He divided opinion on his punditry skills (everyone's an expert, right?). I quite liked him. A bit different to have a Notts accent too. Dick!

    Things that annoy you

    Yeah i think everyone got told to wait outside the pub with a bottle of Coke and a bag of cheese and onion while the parents had a drink. Kids weren't allowed in pubs in "our day". Not till all hours, mind

    Clarkson, Hammond and May

    Yes, Clarkson is an oaf, but i think he is entertaining. I think Clarkson's Farm is great - it isn't just a big ego-trip for him. James May would be one of the people i would like to have for dinner (with fava beans and a nice Chianti). His "Our Man in ..." was insightful and hilarious in parts...

    Ca tai tuong chien. It's deep fried, then they stand it up in a plate rack and you attack it with chopsticks to take the flesh off. It's giant gourami - which might be known in your neck of the woods as golden redfish. It's amazing!

    My local has it on their menu seasonally, and the French love it. Go to Malta and it's their national dish
