Is it me? Or is Richard Hammond on every programme that comes out of the UK?

it's you.

Some things have May or Clarkson in them.

By the way - have you ever seen Richard Hammond and David Tennant in the same room? Think about it.............

No-one sees David Tennant anymore. Not since I added him to my collection.

You could have something there ......... is it pure coincidence that "Hammond's" disappearance from public view whilst supposedly recuperating from his car accident would have been just about the same time that "Tennant" was filming the latest series of Dr Who? ........

Welcome Cookster. Almost thought that was a misspelling of koeksister. :P

Thanks for the welcome, Martin. The resemblance of Cookster to koeksister had never really struck me before ......... but given that excessive exposure to me also tends to make people feel sick, then perhaps there's more of a similarity than I could have ever consciously imagined! :-)

Most people being overly exposed leads to people being sick. And often to people fading.

Gadzooks! Could that also be why people find it increasingly easy to see right through me?!

That must be why people try to walk through me in the shopping centre. I thought they were just ignorant gobshites, but apparently I'm invisible!

Perhaps the reason Richard Hammond and David Tennant are never seen in the same room is because they'd cause too much swooning on the part of some of their female fans? I know several who are reduced to gibbering wrecks by the sight of just one. I dread to think what both of them together could accomplish.

So I am guessing these gentlemen are definitely not sickmaking or invisible?

I still think they're the same guy.

Nah, twins seperated at birth for their own safety and raised in ignorance of each other's existance...

Re: A small apology

Does that mean one of them's good, and the other pure evil? That's how twins normally work isn't it?

Hmmm I think Hammond must be evil then - Tennant is just too obvious!

Maybe Hammond was originally created as a voodoo doll version of Tennant?

Oh I like that. Or maybe he's Tennant's mini-me.

Re: A small apology

Um...how mini would you have to be to be Tennant's mini-me?

Re: A small apology

Were you thinking of applyng for the position yourself XM?

If so, what would poor Hamster do? Or maybe you could just provide holiday cover?

Tennant is 6'1", so if you're taller than that I don't think there is much point in applying ........... unless on the basis of an inverse mini-me perhaps??
