Things people say about James

If 50 Sheds is being made (not 50 Shades) it should be acted by somebody who is nerdy but also sexy. Someone like Mr. May, but I know that's not his deal, so who would be a good alternative double-entendre-delivering shed-master?

I think he's the protagonist of that novel, ie. "Fifty Shades of [Christian] Grey". Therefore, I'm afraid your suspicions are likely to be correct.

Whoever worded that text has never read The Dungeon

I received the following text message from my service provider today:

Tickets ONLY £20 for HORMONAL HOUSEWIVES starring TOYAH WILCOX and JULIE COOMBE! Is your man more James May than Christian Grey? Then this is the show for you! Catch it while you can at....etc etc

So who's this Christian Grey, then?

And why do I suspect that - in this context - your husband being more like James May is not supposed to be a good thing?

To be honest I find the advert above very worrying, yet it seems to explain today's society. After going out with someone very controlling I can certainly say I prefer the more relaxed man I have now.

The movie is supposed to be the book Fifty Shades of Grey. Senior moments are getting more and more often.

In the Mail today (yes, I know I bring trouble onto myself by reading the thing in the first place, you don't need to tell me) there's a review of the new Alan Partridge film that contains the following comment:

"There's no period nostalgia here; this is England at its most defiantly naff, a strange, perverse land where James May and Alan Titchmarsh can become sex symbols....."


I think that's a bit mean, really. Each to their own, and all that.

This from the Ledbury Reporter, regarding the gentlemam who was on Man Lab, dowsing for James' father's wedding ring:


Adrian Incledon-Webber, of Lambourne Close, took part in BBC’s Man Lab show, screened in April, where he attempted to use dowsing rods to find a wedding ring that had been lost years before by James May’s father.

Although the ring wasn’t found during filming, Mr Incledon-Webber says he did pick up strong signals where a gold ring was actually found by a dowser several weeks afterwards.

He said: “James May was a really nice chap, and really quite open to it all. This was a great experience and James was truly taken with his taste of dowsing and I hope that the programme encouraged others to try their hand.”

"By the end of day one, the Mercedes was starting to look rather forlorn. Maybe because it sensed that James May had just said: "I'm going to drive back to the hotel in the Mercedes."

James is a very good driver. He really is. A bit slow perhaps, but smooth and safe and a pleasure to be with. But he does break wind a lot. So, by the time we arrived back at the aforementioned hotel, I was pretty much dead. Also, a lot of the soil in the footwells appeared to be boiling. But the car? Actually, I have no idea how it was faring. It had become impossible to see."
