Feel free to take, it's not mine. I suspect it was a screencap from a YouTube video. If I ever remember which one, I'll let you know.

Most of what he says in the article he wrote immediately after Hammond's crash (I'm sure it's old news here, but I thought it was touching) You see, when I was told on Wednesday night he'd had the accident, I was torn. Do I go to see if he's OK, or wait and let his family have him to themselves? Then the news emerged that his injury was critical, so I threw a few things in a bag.
As you may recall, I bought a new Fiat Panda last week. And there it was, right by the door and full of petrol. I climbed aboard, turned the key, engaged first gear, and then suddenly thought, "Hang on. This doesn't seem right."
And it wouldn't have been right. Not with a product of his beloved Porsche in my garage. The Panda is a great little car and I'm coming to love it dearly, but what if he found out? It's not even properly run in; if I raced from London to Leeds General Infirmary in it, I would effectively be saying, "I got here as fast as I could, mate, and managed 50.8mpg on the way."
So I locked the Panda and went in the Boxster, as fast as I thought would be acceptable to a sympathetic traffic cop.
I hope this doesn't sound in any way fatuous, because it's not meant to. The point I'm trying to make is this. Everywhere I go, people are asking me how "The Hamster" is. As the Beatles might have said, he's getting better all the time. Better, better, better. How much better? Well, obviously you can't trust my opinion because, just like everyone around me, I'm not a doctor either. But here's a sign of how much better he seems. In the next day or so I'll be going to visit him again, and this time I really am going in the Panda. Not because I want to save fuel or preserve my licence, but because there's no real hurry any more.
A steady 69mph cruise at 50.8mpg says I know he'll be all right.www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/columnists/2743525/As-seen-on-TV-next-time-its-the-Panda-for-him.htmlEdit: And then there's the whole of this article, which is just silly. www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/columnists/2744187/As-seen-on-TV-Top-Gear-man-suffers-very-serious-injury.html

Thanks for posting those articles chariset. I hadn't seen the first one before and I found it incredibly touching. The second one is just hilarious. ;D

LOL! Ah yes, I remember now. I love this one - "MAYDAY!!" whenever he is sinking in the English Channel. Something just occured to me, we call that body of water the English Channel, but what do the French call it? ..also the English Channel. It's what it is XD Well, actually, I don't know because I am not French. But in Belgium we just call it "the Channel" ..'cause we don't care who it belongs to XD Favourite James Quotes: "I've had to ditch me wok!" "I'm bored with the gocycle now.." "That's the third time I've been in this bloody water.." "Good News!!" (the way he says it, all enthusiastic, aww)

"Some say he has a stripey top, just like mine.."
"Bill Bryson. Well, I think that man is a danger, frankly. If there is one thing I can't stand it's beardy, sanctimonious, patronising Americans in tartan trousers coming to England and trying to persuade us to turn into a museum. He wants the East End for the cheeky Cockney chaps pushing wheelbarrows full of eels and he wants northernists to be industrialists with big braces and blokes dying of consumption - Good morning Bill, I've got the consumption, it's tradition alright. I say Bill, if you're watching - OK, now you won't be watching because we're not talking about steam engines or longboats or bear-baiting - but IF you've happened to tune in by mistake: We're not interested in your views of stupid Americans who come over here with their big video cameras saying Gee, I love your history, it's just so old. SOD OFF!"
i love it when James goes into one of his rants. ;D

I know some people hate this article, but it's one of my favorite portraits of James www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1204694/If-stuff-bloke-youre-sperm-warm-says-Top-Gears-James-May.html'Only a few things have to go wrong for you to end up with your home repossessed, with no money and completely in the sh*t.
'I've never been an ambitious person and I haven't had much sense of purpose in life. When I consider some of the terrible jobs I did when I left university, and didn't know what to do with my life - all the opportunities there were to end up living with the wrong people in the wrong place doing the wrong job.
'It was like running across a field with ten machine gunners shooting at me and every bullet is a bloody lifestyle disaster but, by some miracle, they all missed. and He uses phrases such as 'That's clearly cobblers'; likes to 'go to the pub, go out and have a curry, see my mates, muck about in the garage, take a motorcycle to bits, try a bit of cooking'. Hang on, James. Try a bit of cooking?
'Yeah, shepherd's pie, fish pie, vegetable pie. I can do basic cooking,' he says. 'I can make roasts, penne carbonara - actually, I've been practising and now I'm rather good at it.' Isn't that, well… er, more new man than bloke?
'A metrosexual? That offends me,' he says, looking very offended.

I've just been watching "Big Ideas" on Dave (again) and I always have a giggle about
"I'm here to see an altogether smaller, strap-on chopper".
Double entendre? James? Erm...yes?
