Waaahhhhhhhh...
The story was that he punched a producer in the face.
I'm largely confident the three of them will get picked up by another network ASAP. It might not be called top gear anymore but it will still exist. It makes so much money.

"some say" that netflix and sky tv are interested. Sigh. What am I going to do on my Sunday evenings. That was my TG time.

I am so sad. Obviously you shouldn't punch people but seriously? Let us have our top gear!

I know no punching. That's just standard things, but I will miss it. I just ordered a track t-shirt from the UK BBC online all the shirts are now pretty cheap.

But WHY did he punch someone? I think I can forgive a punching if the reasoning was sound.
The full story hasn't come out. The story has been pretty consistent that after a very long day of filming there wasn't any food available to Jeremy. They person responsible for food ended up getting punched. The producer didn't report the incident though, Jeremy did. There also seems to have been a large verbal argument before any punching happened that apparency escalated to the punch.

I feel like a punch over food after a long, hard day should be forgiven...especially for a show that grosses so much! There must be more to this story.

I get the hangrys really bad. I am sure I could be capable of such rage regarding food. I think the issue is that he has a tendency to say things that are a bit offensive, there have been lots of times where Jeremy/the BBC has had to apologize for things he's said. I think this was just the last straw.
I just spent $200 at the grocery store. The produce is so expensive and yet so shitty down here. I miss Wegmans. I'm sad because this grocery trip doesn't even include everything I need to buy for SIL and the kids coming this weekend.
Also A must have turned the heat on before we left this morning (9am). It's so hot in here!
I don't know what this show is that everyone speaks of in this post. Hulllloooooooo I live in a cave.
Next time you need a good laugh watch BBC Top Gear. They have all the seasons (22) on Hulu plus. It is seriously the most hilarious show that's ever been made. It is supposed to be about cars but it is mostly about 3 friends who love cars doing hilarious things around cars and being so damn snarky. I can give you a couple episodes that are better to start off with that will feel a little less weird if you're not a car person.
Seriously, Top Gear is one of the best shows ever.

Ds got in trouble for punching another student yesterday. I don't know where this behavior is coming from. It makes me so sad! He really is a sweet boy...

I promise I'm nice but my first day of pre-k I bopped a boy in the mouth because he took my toy and when I asked for it back he said it was his.

Like Captainmel said it's an awesome show about 3 friends and cars. You don't have to love cars to be a fan. I happen to love cars so it works for me but many people who don't also watched it.

If we are telling stories of punching people.. This is sort of long but hilarious.
When I was in 6th grade I was in the opening and closing ceremonies for the Olympics here. In order to prevent atrocious traffic around the venue they had big busses take us to another location so that parents could pick us up without interacting with the traffic from people attending the performances. The following story takes place on the large bus late at night after a seriously long day.
Grumpy, exhausted, 11 year old Mel is sitting on a big bus full of other grumpy and exhausted kids. A slightly younger kid is sitting behind Mel kicking my seat and making lots of loud singing/screaming noises.
Mel - "shut up annoying little kid" Slightly older kid - "you can't talk to my little brother like that!" Mel - "pretty sure I just did, your little brother is being loud and annoying and he really does need to shut up" SOK - punches Mel in the face.
So I punched him right back. His nose started bleeding and he started crying. LOL. But then the adult chaperone on the bus got all uppity about punches being thrown. She made us sit on the bus until all the other kids got off and both parents were there. When we finally got off the dad of the two kids was SO mad that he threw the first punch and told me he was glad I hit back. My mom was not as pleased with my behavior... However when my dad heard the story he took me shopping. He was so proud.

I can't get too upset with him even though I want to.
I talked to the principal and apparently ds was trying to pick up the Legos like he was told and this other kids kept taking them out. So he told the kids that he was trying to pick up and the kids said I don't care. So ds decked him. He's had problems with this same kid all year.

No! I've never even heard of it. Do I need to start ASAP?
Yes! It's about two guys. One who buys the car at a cheap price (Mike), the other is the mechanic and fixes it (Edd). It's awesome. It's on Velocity here in the US. I think Discovery UK over there. It's been on for 11 seasons I think so there should be a lot of back log to check out. It seems like the next show in the series they've moved to California to do the same thing. The guy Mike who buys the cars also has another show where he buys a cheap car in one country and sells it on to try to end up with a super car. It's pretty wild and interesting.
This might peak your interest with your wankel engine love.
When you request PTO using an online timekeeping system, does it count a weekend as paid time off if you request vacation that contains a weekend?
I requested Fri-Tues off. The system decided to dock me 16 extra hours because that date range includes a weekend. I emailed to get it taken care of, but this seems ridiculous. You can't program a timekeeping system to bypass weekends? They got really snippy with me when I asked them to fix it.
