Great on Top Gear and Brainiac.
Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: ifm on September 21, 2006, 01:49:44 AM Said to be "stable"
Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: suzanne on September 21, 2006, 01:58:07 AM Said to be "stable" That sounds much more promising than critical. I am occasionally "forced" to watch Top Gear by my 18yr old son and have to admit to having a bit of a granny crush on him. Hope he pulls through okay. Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: Sark79 on September 21, 2006, 02:19:25 AM Sad news, he is a likable guy. I hope he recovers and i feel bad for his family

Hope he pulls through.

Kind of like Jamie Oliver, hopefully by showing the vast range of fruit and vege available, we can help poker players who sit at the table for many hours eat more healthily. Each day the avatar will change to a new fruit or vege. Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: Sark79 on September 21, 2006, 03:42:56 AM I just read in one of the news reports he spoke to the rescue crew. Surely this has to be a positive thing.

From the BBC. Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: Rooky9 on September 21, 2006, 09:32:41 PM Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond has a "significant brain injury" following a car crash, doctors say. From the BBC. Better than actual brain damage... injury suggests perhaps not permanent. Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: londonpokergirl on September 21, 2006, 10:59:12 PM is this the guy whos also on rogue traders?

This is the guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Hammond Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: Sark79 on September 21, 2006, 11:04:07 PM Jim beat me too it :D
Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: redimp on September 21, 2006, 11:09:11 PM just seen this on the news.
It sounds like there is a slight improvement,I do hope so, I' am a massive fan of the show and him. Not sure about all the media taking photos of the likes of Clarkson going in and out of the hospital,I do think Clarkson and richards family could do without it at the moment imo. Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: londonpokergirl on September 21, 2006, 11:14:37 PM aah different person, but still must be frightening for his family :(
Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: Acidmouse on September 21, 2006, 11:16:18 PM I work at Uni just behind it and there must have been 40+ press around the Hospital all day. Loads stopping people for quotes or what they thought.
Hope he gets well soon :( Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: boldie on September 22, 2006, 01:27:50 PM Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond has a "significant brain injury" following a car crash, doctors say. From the BBC. Better than actual brain damage... injury suggests perhaps not permanent. indeed they do hope he makes a full recovery (according to hospital sources yesterday) so it suggests it is serious but not permanent. Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: Sark79 on September 22, 2006, 02:37:20 PM It says on wikipedia that James May was originally suppose to be the one driving the car
Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: Graham C on September 22, 2006, 02:47:06 PM James in a fast car? Doesn't sound right at all :dontask:
Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: boldie on September 22, 2006, 03:43:52 PM James in a fast car? Doesn't sound right at all :dontask: lmao...that was my first reaction when I read that. Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: Sark79 on September 22, 2006, 04:12:39 PM Well that is what is says on TOPGEAR and Wikipedia
Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: Royal Flush on September 22, 2006, 04:15:08 PM Sounds like the kinda thing they would do.
Make James the Brittish land speed record holder and still call him Mr Slow. Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: TightEnd on September 22, 2006, 04:19:03 PM James May was originally scheduled to do the shoot but the availability of the car changed to a different weekend when Hammond was due to shoot not May. Thus they switched assignments, May getting the gig to review a new Bugatti, apparently
Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: boldie on September 22, 2006, 04:46:44 PM James May was originally scheduled to do the shoot but the availability of the car changed to a different weekend when Hammond was due to shoot not May. Thus they switched assignments, May getting the gig to review a new Bugatti, apparently apparently the first thing Clarkson said when he came into the hospital to see Hammond was "Hamster, I've always said you were a shit driver!" (I didn't make that up) Hammond laughed at that so it might not be as bad as they thought. Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: Royal Flush on September 22, 2006, 05:20:25 PM From the BBC Website:
Top Gear's James May says he is convinced his fellow presenter Richard Hammond is "perfectly intact" after a conversation at his hospital bedside. Mr May said it was not a long talk "but it was a conversation". "I'm not a doctor but I am his mate and I believe that deep inside the Hammond I know is perfectly intact," he said. Apprently the only visable injury he has is a black eye!!! Amazing how safe things can be made these days.

Great news about the Hamster :) Title: Re: Top Gear Presenter critically ill Post by: boldie on September 23, 2006, 09:58:58 PM the boy walked and all that good stuff...can't wait to see clarkson rip the piss out of him now.
