    Why do I get the impression that Richard Hammond is morphing into David
    Essex?

    I haven't watched long enough to answer that.

    He's not 'right', is he. He's had a strange, vacant look in his eyes
    since the crash. I'm not sure what's going on with the hair either.

    He's of a type. A wimp refining his 'cool'.

    Excellent. I prefer that (and suitable for a sig. as well).
    I hope his ganglia aren't permanently scrambled.

    Because he is?

    Hammond's OK, as is Clarkson, but James May is seriously funny ...
    sometimes. A lot of it seems a bit contrived, but the Alfa test in the
    last one was very good ... full of soul and passion ... ;)

    James May who's life's work is making Bertie Wooster look
    intelligent.
    And what really pisses me off is that brain dead idiot gets paid
    handsomely for his efforts.

  9. That's just a contrivance - probably at Clarkson's instigation, who has
    to be seen to be top dog in the act.
    May's no dummy, that's for sure - got a seriously deep look about him
    and I've no doubt he could run rings round the other two if he felt like
    it.

    Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
    river cleaned out in a day.

    Hammond and May both ride bikes. Clarkson's public persona hates
    them, and won't allow them on the programme. It's his show, and
    that's all there is to it.

    That would explain why I've suddenly developed a huge crush on him,
    then, as I adored David Essex.

    There's definitely something odd about him now. Sometimes when they're
    doing their "standing about in the studio" bit he sort of barges in
    with a not-quite related comment as if he's suddenly remembered
    there's something he's meant to say, but not *when* he's meant to say
    it. I guess his memory is still suffering? I presumed that was why
    the studio based bits of the show sounded more scripted than they have
    done in the past.

    That said, anyone who can run 16 miles in less than three hours, in
    the dark, in torrential rain, just isn't right anyway, even taking
    into account their ramming their brain into the ground at excessive
    speeds less than a year earlier.

    SWMBO reckons I look a bit like him. Particularly the eyes, she says.
    Unfortunately, I look a bit like he does *now*.
