James hands out gong at Comedy Awards…

Last night Chortle – the website for all things funny – held its annual Comedy Awards. And our James turned up to hand out a gong, despite not knowing that Lee Evans isn’t bald, or even the latest news on Rod Hull’s career.

Absolute Radio grabbed him on the red carpet – here’s the interview:

I was quite impressed with James’ response to Steve Coogan’s attack, saying intelligent criticism was always welcome and he would be happy to invite him back on Top Gear. He handled that with more grace than I suspect I would have.

How about that? Lessons in maturity from a Top Gear presenter.

I’ve just heard that Top Gear will now be in Chnia?!

As in a TG Chinese TV show?! I know it’s the biggest car market in the world, but really – how much more can TG dilute itself?

I’m really hoping this news is a joke too.

Top Gear comments made by the three buffons are not a Joke, So in that case anyone can make a Racist comment and justify saying “but that was a joke”. Not to a program that is watch in all over the globe. That is unacceptable.

Dr Seuss, Top Gear Edition by James May

Now, the TopGear Presenters have become really big stars
Cocking about in some really nice cars
Occasionally their banter can cause quite a stir
With offended people crying “why the racial slurs”

There’s Jeremy Clarkson, tall and bombastic
Most people think he’s really fantastic
Mexicans, however, curse him from afar
They say that they think that he’s an “Albanian Car”

Now Richard Hammond, he’s a short arsed twit
But there’s no denying, he’s quick with his wit
He doesn’t like Genesis, but I have no doubt
It has something to do with when his brains had fell out

Then there’s James May, known as Captain Slow
Maxed the Bugatti Veyron, and gave it a go
They say he’s a diva, and caused a scene on a plane
But he can’t be that bad, after all, we share the same name

Some say The Stig, is a tamed racing driver
But he wrote a book, and wound up getting fired
Black Stig got launched off a ship into the sea
And a new Stig was born near the Sea of Galilee

They do car reviews, they do races
And they travel to far and exotic places
They have cheap car challenges, they are never quite dovish
But it usually ends up, “Ambitious but Rubbish”

So why did I rhyme
What would be the reason?
Well, I got really drunk….
And this is what I came up with.

Good night everybody.

good job james with the poetry, you seem to have the same hobbies like TG James. Have you ever thought of a career in critics?

@christine: Thanks for the compliments. Last night, I had mixed up some Margarita’s after work, and I was telling my wife about my day. You see, I work for a school system providing IT services, and one of the elementary schools I went to was having “Cat in the Hat” day. I had gone into a classroom where the teacher was reading about the “Star-Bellied Sneetches” and how they had “Stars upon Thars”. Now, after telling my wife about this, I was also telling her about the latest Top Gear episode and about the Albanian slang word “car”, and how women have no “Cars upon Thars”, and it all went downhill pretty quickly from there. :)

James isn’t very good at comedy

Mr.May

It is moments such as this, that the TopGear US lads would do well to learn from. Alas, self-depricating understatement is not a quality regularly seen here in the States. Nor is compitent vocabulary, nor grammer.

And to assure you, you were quite entertaining there.
