Indeed. Latest is 'stable' but he has some (more? :-)) brain
damage...they will keep him in a coma and scan regularly. Don't like the
sound of his back much either.
I liked the little ******* rather a lot..

A naturaly likeable chap I think. Exellent TV presenter they found a
"classic" in James May as well, another case of the "hired hands" doing
it much better than the "Manager" (Clarkson).

A modern version of the 80s hooray henries. We're so silly and, you know

I nearly ****ed myself in that one, in the part where May was driving
out of the garage and hit a bollard !! still funny when I think of it
now :-)

He didn't shirk a challenge, like how to become very famous very quickly.

This is all a bit 'past tense'. The news says his condition is no longer
'critical'. However, head injuries are worrying.

Good job too. A bunch of overgrown kids who were getting a bit too far
up themselves.

Not at all. A bunch of adults enjoying themselves without worrying about
being PC whilst entertaining us at the same time.

It was newsworthy, but News24 last night showed its usual lack of
editorial judgement by going completely OTT with worthless
speculation and passing over to the next person who merely repeated
what the last one had said.

In much the same time-wasting way as his Brainiac show. I hate the way
they use the advert breaks as a way of telling you what you will see in
the show, showing you it, then showing you again what you saw. I'm sure
these shows could be reduced to 1/3rd of the duration.
