This is the man in question:
What do you think?
I have to say, for quite some time now, the lovely Mr Hammond has been making my Monday nights something to look forward to. I even set the video when I know I'll be home watching, purely because I know I will want to watch it again and again. Last week's "turn an ordinary sedan into a stretch limo" challenge was hilarious, as was the "can you buy a car for less than hiring one in the US" special. And don't even start me on the tractor special... watching the Hamster driving the world's biggest tractor through a tiny village, I was laughing so hard I fell off the sofa.
I've even joined a Facebook group called (wait for it) "I'd Do Richard Hammond".
Because I would.
Really.
Anyway. I'm in a quandry. Not about why I adore him, but as to which of the lists he really belongs on.
Thoughts?

hmmmm i'm fancying the pants of sawyer on lost at the moment. yes i know i know, i'm such a late developer.
it's something about him being crazy for kate and her just using him (?) and i don't know if you've even done the lost thing. we have, on dvd.
but if we talk sex and the city as a reference, while aidan is gorge, big is not, and the little miranda dude is kind of cute. of the three, i'd pick him. just because you know he wouldn't break your heart.
STEVE! isn't it? it's all in the voice.
shhhteve!
SHHHTEVE! Yes, he is a sweetie. I think that's why I love the Hamster... he looks like he'd be the sweet, faithful type who'd tell you how great you look even when you look shocking.
Sawyer on Lost... yes. I can see that, although he's a bit arrogant for me.
Huh. Says the woman who fancies the pants of James Spader. Can a man be more arrogant than James Spader??
Oh and did you also find it amusing on SATC that when Shhhteve and Miranda got married, their son became Brady Hobbs Brady?!
LOST RULES!!!!
That is all.
hmmm i meant to say fancing the pants OFF sawyer, but his pant are also kind of ok.
i don't mind the arrogance, but he is puzzled when kate is tough and he's used to the girls dropping for him. i go for the bad boys, you should see clokes.
SHHHTEVE as he is known in our house is very sweet and faithful but he also didn't take miranda's shit beyond a certain point.
yes lost rules. i love love love it.
must go to bevis's place to ask him some lost questions.
ps re the spader, after sex lies and videotape i couldn't see him as anything other than sexually dys-fuctional and that kind of did it for me in the man-fancy department.
fancing! god it gets worse.
FANCYING.
why can't i leave my typoes along and know that i won't be judged? where does this grammar-insecurity come from??
is it typoes or typos.
i think the latter.
is it last or latter?
just kidding.
[time for wine]
Oh I love logging in and seeing 8 comments. Even if they are typo corrections mg!!
I got lost on Lost a while back - I'm going to have to get them all out on DVD and have a marathon catch up session.
It will be WELL worth it, M_M. You will get so excited seeing them all back-to-back at your own leisure that you will surely ovulate on the SPOT.*
Without wanting to sound like the self-appointed Lost guru that - in truth - I actually am, please feel free to ask me any Lost-related questions as you're watching through the seasons. As long as you tell me what you're up to when you ask, I'll be sure not to spoil anything for you in my answers.
Nothing is more important to me than people I like (such as yourself and MG, for example) watching shows I love and respect (such as Lost and Buffy, for example) without someone (such as me, for example) saying something that would spoil your enjoyment of such incredible shows (such as the fact that XXXXXX kills XXXXXX when XXXXXX tells XXXXXX that XXXXXX told XXXXXX that XXXXXX murdered XXXXXX, or that Spike fought to get his soul back, for example).
So don't you worry about that.
This invitation to ask questions is valid for anytime from now until 2055 (at which point I will hunt you down and smack you if you still haven't watched all six seasons).
* I have a doctor friend and he assures me this is a well-known medical phenomenon.
And here's another comment to help bring the number up. Just for that extra thrill, you know.
And another one, because I love and admire you so.
Incidentally, my brother and another friend of mine were big Lost nay-sayers from the beginning (their complaint was that it moved too slowly; "Surely the survivors should have been found by now?!"), but as I said to them at the time, I think they were confusing Lost for Gilligan's Island, because the characters being rescued from the island is not primarily what Lost's about.
Then I lent them both my DVDs of the show (seasons 1 and 2, anyway -- I don't have season 3 yet), and now they've both become MASSIVE fans of the show after giving it a red-hot go.
Channel Seven's promos kinda kill off the interest of the average viewer (continually promising that secrets will be revealed / questions will be answered when they're not, because we wouldn't WANT them to be revealed / answered so quickly for the show to have the intrigue and suspense that it does), and waiting a week between episodes can be a killer. It also probably doesn't help that up to four episodes can take place within the one day on the island (so it appears to move "too slowly", as far as the half-interested viewer is concerned), but again, that's part of the show's genius. The flashbacks are also essential to the way the show's overall story is told, so expecting the writers to stop them (as I've heard more than one detractor complain) highlights just how little those who say such things really understand the show they're talking about.
Anyway, I say all that simply to encourage you to watch it again from the beginning and get into it in a BIG way. It'll make your sad, pathetic little life seem SO MUCH more full and worth living.
(Okay, so that last part wasn't too encouraging ... sorry about that.)
Hehe.
sorry, I'm still on your SATC post (see comment back there).
Cashmere Mafia doesn't cut it, I'm afraid.
