"That's A Really Unpleasant Image."

[rionaleonhart]

Now, the Richard Hammond fans among you may recall that he had, er, a minor three-hundred-mile-an-hour jet-car accident in late September and survived it, because he is superhuman, and, not satisfied with merely being alive, said 'screw you!' to the doctors who said he'd be in hospital for fifteen months, employed Wolverine-esque healing powers and was out of there by November.

Well, he has now given his first television interview since the accident, which is absolutely lovely because look at him! He's healthy and cheerful and making jokes about it and more adorable than ever and honestly, Richard, you had a three-hundred-mile-an-hour crash three months ago, what right do you have to be absolutely fine? Not that I am not absolutely thrilled about this, because I am.

(The videos are no longer available, sadly.)

The part missing from between the two is Jonathan saying that, if Richard had died, there was no chance that Mindy would have moved on, because, when your options are Jeremy Clarkson and James May, you're obviously going to raise the children by yourself. Which is a fair point, even though I and the weirder members of my friendslist may personally disagree with it.

Also, I bet Jonathan Ross writes dreadful Jeremy/Richard angstfic.

(While I'm linking to things, although I think that most of the Scrubs fans among you will probably have already seen this, have Turk and JD singing a duet about Not Being Gay (video no longer available). It is marvellous.)

On another note, I laughed until I couldn't breathe at the end of the final episode of Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure. I now firmly believe that, although I don't plan to, I would have every excuse to write nothing but James/Oz for the rest of my life, because that was the most astonishingly homosexual thing that I have ever seen. While romantic music played and Oz and James talked about their profound love for each other (including Oz referring to the trip as a 'holiday romance'), clips were shown of Oz looking at James’ crotch in the shower, Oz looking at the sleeping James and licking his lips, James calling Oz ‘beautiful’, Oz putting his arm around James’ waist as they watched the sunset. It was amazing (and look! m_l_h has caps!). Someone obviously had a lot of fun with the editing there, and I sincerely hope that Clarkson and Hammond mock May about it a lot when the new series of Top Gear starts (late January! eee!).

"Well, since you obviously want it to be written, you're just going to have to write it yourself, aren't you?"

I may simply have to turn my powers of persuasion elsewhere. I mean, all I know about The X-Men is from having seen some of the cartoon ten years ago, and the first two movies.

"Ahahaha! 'Captain Slow' could now be used as an actual superhero name. Fantastic."

Not very heroic, but certainly true! His costume would be a stripey jumper, of course.

No it wouldn't. I should know, seeing as I'm writing a Top Gear comic were they're superheroes and his costume is the one to the left in my icon. But he does have the ability to slow things down, and the underwear he wears outside his suit is stripy. (Why is it that I thought making them into superheroes was an original thought, but as soon as I do it, I realize that everyone else thought of it before me, but they thought the notion so silly they just couldn't be bothered?)
