Title: Richard Hammond Post by: reeves4england on Wednesday, September 20, 2006, 21:10:12 Hope he gets better and soon. I suppose that's one of the dangers involved with a job driving ridiculous vehicles
Title: Richard Hammond Post by: STFC Village on Wednesday, September 20, 2006, 21:44:11 On a serious note(!), hope he's alright. I'm not sure i could deal with Richie Hammond and Steve Irwin both dieing in the same month

I'm not sure i could deal with Richie Hammond and Steve Irwin both dieing in the same month I reckon I'd get over it. Title: Richard Hammond Post by: janaage on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 08:49:52 He was goind at nearly 200mph just for a tv programme, fair play to the bloke, hope he recovers alright, quite like his presenting style.
Title: Richard Hammond Post by: STFCBird on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 08:50:59 I love Richard Hammond I hope he is gonna be ok coz he is just ace :cry:
Title: Richard Hammond Post by: land_of_bo on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 08:53:13 Yeah he's done some stupid & dangerous things for Top Gear. Seems he is in a "stable" condition this morning.
Title: Richard Hammond Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 11:23:56 hope he is ok. would be a sad loss to all top gear and brainiac fans and to TV in general
Title: Richard Hammond Post by: Leggett on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 11:28:52 (he's not doing brainiac anymore) i wish him well. fingers crossed.
Title: Richard Hammond Post by: Northern Red on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 11:40:33 He'll need his teeth re-whitened and probably his pants re-whitened too.
Get well soon Hamster. Title: Richard Hammond Post by: Devon Red on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 15:35:56 Read that in the sun today-came as a big shock. Hope he makes a full recovery too

Reports suggest he was trying to break the British land speed record Title: Richard Hammond Post by: Ralphy on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 17:53:31 I currently have the land speed record.
This was achieved leaving Wrexham in my Type R 2 weeks ago with some angry welshmen following me :D Title: Richard Hammond Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 17:55:52 Quote from: "Ralphy" I currently have the land speed record. :D I thought you are supposed to be fat? :wink: Title: Richard Hammond Post by: Danjackson10 on Thursday, September 21, 2006, 18:01:22 Best wishes to the man! he is a cracking fellow who lives life to the full! If it were not for people like him we would be living a pretty boring life!

Which is good. Title: Richard Hammond Post by: Sade on Friday, September 22, 2006, 14:55:55 Glad to hear that. He's a legend. And so adorable :oops: Get well soon Richard!
Title: Richard Hammond Post by: Boeta on Friday, September 22, 2006, 16:11:52 not sure if today's news has any further on this but they were saying on sky news yesterday afternoon that the doctors hoped he would make a good recovery, note good instead of full
Title: Richard Hammond Post by: Northern Red on Saturday, September 23, 2006, 12:12:28 At least something good's come out of it :? :
http://www.justgiving.com/PHRichardHammond?page=1#donationtable £60,000 raised for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance on his behalf :shock: Good thing these speed junkies are funding it, as they're the most likely to need it at some point. Title: Richard Hammond Post by: janaage on Monday, September 25, 2006, 09:22:41 "Did I drive like a twat?"
His first words when he came around according to the Sunday Mail yesterday. Class if true. Title: Richard Hammond Post by: DribblingSissy on Monday, September 25, 2006, 10:42:24 Clarksons first words to him were also something along the lines of, "you really are a shit driver!"......Class, none of this "how you feeling?" rubbish.....I mean how many times do people ask that when your sick let alone when you've had an accident that nearly killed you at 300 mph!!
Nice one Clarkson, a breath of fresh air as always! Title: Richard Hammond Post by: sonic youth on Monday, September 25, 2006, 13:49:13 apparently he called james may "cockface", so he must be fine :D

Actually horse riders are. I think Birdy should cough up. Title: Richard Hammond Post by: Piemonte on Monday, September 25, 2006, 20:35:19 Would it be in bad taste if i nominated myself as the hamsters replacement? it looks like such a laugh presenting top gear (300mph jet car crashes excepted)

Do you think my constant drunkeness and lack of a drivers liscence would be a hinderance to my application?

Even though my name is Lucinda, I am a common pauper :( Title: Richard Hammond Post by: Leggett on Monday, September 25, 2006, 22:08:50 before he had heard of the accident, clarkson left an answermachine message for Hammon,d saying "as i havent heard from you, I assume you're dead". oops! :P
