They are very useful... you should have seen the look on my then-boyfriend's face when I asked him to scrounge one from his mum for me when I was fixing his motorbike!

No, any information is good information, i just wanted to know how do you know that information ? I would love to say from first hand experience! But I would be lying (Damn!) No it leapt out of the pages of his book at me. I can't think why Bloody hell, I missed that bit!! Which book?! ;D

I remember that! He was making a joke about condoms being packaged in packets of 12 for the sex habits of an Englishman...i.e. one condom per month.... ;D ;D ;D I'll scan my books and get back to you.... EDIT: *ahem* I think Fussy referring to May on Motors "Ah, Mr Bond - We weren't expecting you to do that" (page 8 in my book) (Originally from Car Magazine - August 1998) Here's the quote: "I like national stereotypes. They are fun and, in the final analysis, often not that wide of the mark. I don't mind that Italians think I buy condoms in packs of twelve so I have one for every month of the year...." ;D

What's this about James not buying Christmas presents? Why not?
Adding this to his girlfriend's revelation that he gave her a train (for HIS train set) for her birthday... and he isn't looking like prime boyfriend material in this particular area.

Ah, now, you see... if someone gave me a train, even if only to give me my own locomotive presence on their train set, I'd be, er, was going to say "chuffed", but... anyway, I'd be quite pleased. Then again, I am quite strange like that.

I wouldn't mind getting a train either, so long as I got to play with it!
I had an argument the other way round with a boyfriend years back. I wanted a soldering iron for my birthday but he just couldn't bring himself to get me one because it wasn't girly enough, so he bought me a craft kit for burning patterns into wood that had one in!

I need to buy myself a soldering iron. I have a bass guitar I keep meaning to rebuild.

What's this about James not buying Christmas presents? Why not? It has something to do with his grandfather, James May I, who as a young boy was helped by the good people from Barnardo's. It's appearantly a family thing to give money to them rather then spend it on gifts for each other. I'm sure he mentioned it in an interview, but can't remember which one.

On the Alan Titchmarsh show he talked about not giving presents, but he didn't give that reason.

He was presented with an award from the RAF after flying in the Typhoon.
"On receiving the C P Robertson Memorial Trophy for a significant contribution to RAF Public Relations, James commented;” It was far more fun even than driving an Austin Princess with a brown vinyl roof!”
there's a picture that goes with this, but my computer skills are pretty primitive. sorry. just google "james may" and award and raf.

He can cook a better fish pie than Gordon Ramsay, not to mention drink snake whisky, bull's p*nis and rotted shark without throwing up.

Oh, Richmondgal - I'm trying so very, very hard to bite my tongue with the bull's appendage factoid!
I don't know how he did it though - Gordon must be a real softie!

So was his Grandfather adopted I wonder, or am I reading this wrong? that's why no chrissy prezzies...... Barnardo's saved James's Grandfather and my grandad who was in a workhouse until he too and my aunt were saved and was about only 80 years ago.

A good reason for him not to want to do who do you think you are. Maybe it'd be a bit upsetting

Then again, I am quite strange like that. Me too! I'd have been delighted - I love train sets! ;D Maybe I'm strange, too...oh well... I'd want the whole train set. As one of two girls who went to an all girl school, I always felt like I missed out on boys stuff. So I'd be apoplectic with joy at the chance to have a go on all those boy toys like train sets and Scalextric (really sorry can't be bothered to check spelling, but imagine it's a brand!)

I'm planning to get a Scalextric when I finally get a job. I may even dig out the controller for my trainset and use it to scale the speed of the cars, as James described doing. It does sound like a good way of avoiding the frustration of having to hunt under furniture for the cars every few minutes!

Ooh Wy, will you let me have a go?! LOL Of course I will... any time you're in this neck of the woods (once I've bought it and fiddled with it so it works properly, obviously) feel free to have a race! Of course, then comes the challenge of deciding what cars to buy
