I've got lots of things to say about Jeremy Clarkson.

Really not worth it. He knows his game is over and so is resorting to personal attacks.

Piss him off instead and

Jeremy Clarkson article that says if you can't sort out your teeth you can't sort out the country.

FT Blackpool 1 Wycombe 1
A goal in the 102nd minute sees Wanderers nick a point. Sloppy defending led to conceding in the first half. Grimmer close in second with close range effort somehow blocked by 'keeper before the late, late show by Jack🥳

"We made some changes to McVitie's Penguin and Club earlier this year, where we are using a chocolate flavour coating with cocoa mass, rather than a chocolate coating. Sensory testing with consumers shows the new coatings deliver the same great taste as the originals," the McVitie's owner, Pladis, said in a statement.
Club's classic advertising slogan citing its chocolate content is no longer in use, replaced by: "If you like a lot of biscuit in your break, join our Club."
