Richard Hammond.......

....Is a nice bloke, and he rides a 'Busa (oh and a custom Harley).
And he's not really that short either

errrrrrrrr

thanks for that

:confused:

[Jabba]

Not short? He's about 5'3" in high heels :lol:

If you don't think he's that short then you must "ride a little low in the water" yourself ;-)

[Caddy2000]

Welcome!

Just watch out for him in a bee keepers suit!
(oh, and if you ever have to get him to wear a safety harness, don't say what I did)

I'm 6'3", and compared to the gob****e of a director he really isn't that short

He's actually about 5 foot 7 - it's just that Jezza & the other one are tall in comparison.

[Skip]

Well, I manage a park in East London, got a call from a colleague telling me that the BBC want to film in the park, they're doing a documentary on Honeybees, and Mr Hammond is the presenter.
Anyway, they want to put a beehive on the roof of our pavilion/Cafe.
Not a problem says I just put it in the larger section of roof, not on the section with the skylight.
They don't. This means that I was up on the roof with Mr Hammond for about 4 hours making sure that he was safe, and clipped into the latchway system.
Long story short: Lots of takes due to wind and the harness being in shot = quite an annoyed Mr Hammond.
Best bit of the day was when he said "why have I got to wear this (the harness) when the roofs 4 metres wide?! I'm hardly going to fall off", to which I stupidly said
"Look, I know it's a paid, but accidents tend to happen when you least expect them"
"**** off you patronising C***! I nearly died in a rocket car! Have you nearly died?!"
"Er, yeah, 20 yards from home"
"How?"
"On my Motorbike, some T*** pulled out in front of me"
"Oh, well, I get what you're saying, but it is all bowlarks isn't it"

We got on really well after that. Oh, he laso siad that that Vincent he rode up the A1 was brilliant, and it broke down 'on purpose'.

What you been smoking Caddy?
Don't smoke fella!

Don't smoke fella!

Haha! Funny story - did he really say see you next tuesday?! He seems too nice for that!

[ArtyLady]

He sounds like he's right up his own backside! who does he think he is?:rolleyes:

Glad you got on ok after that but I don't think I could have been so forgiving!!

[Caddy2000]

I think that he isn't too keen on the Beeb due to the way they treated him and his family after the crash. They promised the earth to him and then shat on him! He can't get life insurance now, and the Beeb have left him high and dry.
I think I got a bit of stray fire, and he was very appologetic for the rest of the day.
Oh, and he thought my SV looked the dogs danglies So he's got to be a decent bloke (and has taste!)

+1

[dizzyblonde]

Sounds a right drama queen:rolleyes:

those things are always set up, they even admit it after the race in Japan.
James said someting along the lines of
"we arrange those races to be close but even 3 minutes was far closer than they intended".

With the vincent it would have won hands down so something needed to be done to slow it down TG is JC's show and he HATES bikes doesnt he lol so he'd never let a bike win over the car.

I can't get life insurance either but can't blame anybody for it, so he should shut up and enjoy the fact that his brain injury left him with no permanant disabilty - oh and the fact that he earns a fortune too!

I should think he was apologetic - how rude!!!

Glad he liked your bike though :cool:
