Just because Hammond has little experience from presenting other hokey car shows doesn't mean he's fully capable of "playing with the big boys", or whatever cheesy concept used to deprive Hammond of his credit as a talented presenter despite his lack of a car background. He still likes them enough to have bought a few Morgans, so he's certainly not lacking in enthusiasm.

...whatever. How can you say no to these dreamy puppy-dog eyes? images/smilies/wub.gif

Well, let's ask our resident psychologist, Mr. Blind

How absurd is that? JC and Hammond are great mates. Didn't you (Kenyeres) see Jeremy's face and tone when he welcomed Hammond back to Top Gear, after the crash. There was a genuine relief and emotion there for Hammond which only a true friend can give.

/lol at BlaRo's blatant exploitation of the underlying homosexual tones, for showing his personal images/smilies/love.gif for Hammond. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Given that even the OP didn't vote against Richard, shall we close this one images/smilies/wink.gif?

Please don't mention "Richard Hammond" and "ball shaving" in the same post; we might get those loonies from the TG Fan Fiction Forum all drooling and ecstatic.

THis has to be a rile up post, right?

TG is what it is because of the THREE. And to think Jezza or James don't like him? Um....am I the only one who saw Jezza get choked up when introducing Hammond on the 09/01 welcome back?

If anything deserves a book, it's surviving brain damage after crashing a jet car, recovering and getting your life back. Just because the original poster seems to have it out for Hammond doesn't mean that anyone else does....if Hammond bugs so badly, since he has been around on this version of TG longer than James, perhaps you shouldn't watch? I would rather watch a Hammond/Clarkson car review than a James one any day. The enthusiasm is infectious and alot of the fun of TG is they are 3 guys who CLEARLY love what they do and have a blast doing it.

What a stupid post. Sorry, didn't know RH was cashing in on his brain damage - I really don't think any of them are hurting for money and frankly, alot of good came from the crash (see the Air Ambulance donation fund).

*gnashes teeth*

I 100% like Richard Hammond, and if you don't thats your choice. But it sounds like some ones very jealous.
