"Clarkson stung after bank prank"
TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson has lost money after publishing his bank details in his newspaper column.

The Top Gear host revealed his account numbers after rubbishing the furore over the loss of 25 million people's personal details on two computer discs.

He wanted to prove the story was a fuss about nothing.

I've always suspected Clarkson was an uneducated oaf but I'm genuinely surprised that anyone could be so stupid.

7. Why am I not surprised?
Actually, I *am* surprised that only £500 was taken, and dontaed to charity, no less. He's getting a drubbing in some TG fan forums as well.
