Clarkson eats Humble Pie
Top Gear's Clarkson Forced Into U-Turn
Updated:12:10, Monday January 07, 2008
Motormouth Jeremy Clarkson - who derided the loss of two computer discs containing benefit claimants' personal details - has been hit by an internet scam.
Clarkson forced to eat humble pieThe Top Gear presenter and pundit described the loss of the bank details of seven million people as a "storm in a teacup" despite fears of mass identity theft and fraud.
Clarkson printed his own bank details in a newspaper to hammer home the point that his money was still safe and the spectre of identity theft a sham.
He also gave instructions on how to find his address on the electoral roll and details about the car he drives.
However, in a rare moment of humility, Clarkson has now revealed he has lost at least £500 after an unidentified reader copied his details to set up a direct debit payable from his account to the British Diabetic Association.
The charity is one of many organisations which does not need a signature to set up a direct debit.

No, because it makes you sound like a retard, and since I know Dom, I have no problem in correcting him whatsoever.
"learn him"? Dumb motherfucker!

He's not joking. With that suffolk accent as well, it's a hideous combination!
The reason it's been dropped for common usage, is that it's a passive verb. You can't have a situation acting passively on a subject.
Sorry, but I just find it very irritating..... but then it's Dom, so we should excuse him.

Everyone says "that will learn him" when someone fucks up etc, the whole point of the joke is that it's not right

Now you're just making excuses for dumb people. People say that because they honestly do not know any better.
But I don't suppose those who say it go anywhere where it matters much
Full and interesting life indeed

People find different things funny though Rich. There are some seriously warped fucked up weirdo's out there hidden a way that might say you have some comedic intellect 
For some reason I find 'That'll learn him' funny but it is starting to get annoying being 'corrected' everytime I say it
I think you'll find that was intentional error, which I put in as a subtle attempt to be witty however, seeing as no-one seemed to notice I thought i'd follow up with something more obvious with the "this will learn me' comment.
