Worried?

If you’re worried about the environment or (in London) your wallet, then you may be tempted to buy a G-Wiz — the electric car.
Don’t.
The G-Wiz crash test at only 30mph is horrendous: see it here.
If you’re worried about the environment, worry about yourself first.
The Hamster’s dragster crash video

I’m afraid there will be no apologies for sharing this video with you. I think it is entirely appropriate and in the public interest.

Great Top Gear news

I missed this the today: Top Gear filming resumes.
Yorkshire Air Ambulance(s)

The Yorkshire Air Ambulance donation page for Richard Hammond has now raised £182,285 and the YAA have decided to purchase another helicopter!
What’s depressing to me, though, is that that amount of money is enough for only 50 days of operation.
Top Gear’s been postponed indefinitely which is typical, but I think it probably is appropriate not to show the programme while Richard’s still recovering. Now, this isn’t supposed to suggest I only want him to recover so that I can have my favourite English TV programme back on: get well soon Mr Hammond — the TV screen is dimmer without your teeth.
Jeremy Clarkson — the best thing on TV

Jeremy Clarkson makes the licence fee worth complaining about less. He regular says “Due to the unique way the BBC is funded…” which is enough for me: I’m already laughing without knowing which punchline or reason for his outburst.
So when Alan Drew tells us on his blog that Mr Clarkson has written a piece on Mr Hamster’s crash and recovery, you’ll know its entertaining.
And in the same way as his appearance makes me watch the BBC, Mr Clarkson’s piece has prompted my first reading of The Sun in quite a long, snobby time.
Richard Hammond

My thoughts, and I am sure most people’s are with Richard Hammond and his wife. Richard is part of what makes Top Gear and his injury (thankfully no longer critical) is a cause of concern.
Get well soon.
