#Don't you eat that yellow snow - Frank Zappa!
I like Zappa, but some of his lyrics are just cringingly dirty!
I was going to say we've drifted way off topic, but that would just be more drifting.

Check out James's column in the February edition of TG magazine, if you haven't already done so; it's a hell of a good read. A whole column dedicated to that 'fizzing' sensation! ;D

Any chance of a scan or link? It doesn't appear to be on the Top Gear site (or if it is, I can't find it!)

Well, I managed to scan it. I'm not very good at all this electronic stuff, so I don't know whether or not it'll be big enough for anyone to read, but here it is anyway.  Attachments:

The funny thing is, I'm starting to see him the way Jeremy and Richard must, sometimes... he's so eager to be taken seriously and be seen as reasonable that he'll keep trying to make his point even when no one really wants to talk about it. James! Your Top G-spot is nobody's business but your own.

Thanks for the scan, xjsarah! It was an interesting read. Too bad I've never had that sort of feeling in a car... Once I was pretty close when I pretended to be a rally driver in my Ford Escort driving on a gravel road near my childhood home a long, long time ago, but I don't think even that was it. Oh dear... *sigh*

No probs, Lew - once I'd figured out the scanning process! ;D Unfortunately, I don't recall ever experiencing any sort of fizzing sensation in my Jag, but then I reckon a GT car like that is less likely to allow for it, anyway.  I'll check next time I drive it! I think the nearest I've been to experiencing a fizzing sensation was when I drove the Caterham 7 in 2005. It might have been even better had I not had to have extra cushions on the seat so I could reach the pedals....  |

I think Woman has the patience of a saint. He had a spate of getting at her a while ago in his columns. I bet she teased him about the 'fizz', so he has put that bit in about her and the Panda. I don't think I've ever read any of her ballet columns - does she make any comments about idiosyncratic long haired motoring correspondents?

James, as far as I've read, never gets the slightest hint of a mention in her columns.

Not recently, no, but a couple of years back he used to mention her quite a bit.

Thanks for the scan XJS, it certainly made a good read. Something tells me he's obsessed with that "Fizz Gland". Do hope any medics out there will explain it one day. OK James says he not interested in knowing all about it but I am!

It could be the prostate. It's in about the right place for it. Or it could be one of the major arteries -- the two that run down into the legs branch off around there. Or it could be all in his head.

Missus? She's a lucky lady - I haven't missed anything in my absence have I? I spose it's being used as a term of endearment and that,even if they aren't married, she's the life partner. Mr Crumbs would never have called me Missus before we were married!

Hope not I've had a run of friends lately who were fine and dandy living together but then decided to have that piece of paper with the heading 'Marriage Certificate' and now they are seperated.... last count five out of seven couples quite sad really what difference does it make - anyway.... we've had this convo before. I think it maybe his prostate ;D  |

Post by crumbs on Feb 5, 2010 12:03:55 GMT
Yes, it is sad. Re the whole 'marry or not' debate - it's a complex one and probably not for this board. I know people who have split up regardless of whether they were married or not. But I know what you mean about the Certificate being the death knell though. The couples I know that did it got married because they thought it would mend an ailing relationship - unfortunately it did anything but. Or they just felt trapped. On a more positive note, I know plenty of happily married and living together couples too.
Well, here's me saying this isn't the place to discuss such things and off I go anyway!
Prostate? I'd say so too!
