      Well, we all have been there. Considering killing Clarkson with a shovel is what makes us civilized. You know, in between sips of wine and only after the music has stopped. Mustn't be rude about our Clarkson-killing, must we?

      @Nick Maclachlan Missing the point, since the GT team had no clue about it before being shown them, and used the guys a DL to come up with the required dimensions to do it properly, and to ensure it would work on all the cars they had lined up for the show. They arranged to film at DL and had THEM arrange all the GT props only to not show up. I'd say that's getting ripped off. Before DL stepped in with the idea the plan was to drift on normal tyres in FWD cars which of course would have been utter ridiculous. The GT guys have no clue what they are doing and rely on stealing ideas from others.

      What he just described is a serious contemplation of inflicting grievous bodily harm to his fellow man and deciding against it. You can recognise it by emotionally restrained examination of the object suitable for the task.
      When someone you angered picks up something that can be used as a weapon and just looks at it, not threatens you, not expressively weights it in his hand, but just looks at it in silent contemplation - be afraid. Be very afraid.

      Tristan Lane that is if that someone is not your friend or at least good acquaintance. That pause is when the internal conflict between long suffering tolerance and murderous rage takes place. If there is no pause then there was no conflict and so the rage wasn't murderous.
      But in all seriousness, if your good friend is ranting loudly on camera how he's gonna kill you while brandishing a weapon he's very unlikely to actually do so.
      If he is visibly angry at you in private while holding a weapon with clenched fingers, there's a real risk he may just hit you with it, maybe even seriously.

Woke up in my sleeping bag, with the newbie sitting there, who commented "It went out - didn't know what to do...."
