hello all! i've got a new post up on my blog with a stencil from Top Gear; check it out here!

more coming, i'm just finishing up a stencil of my favourite quote from the Botswana Special. first person to guess it correctly in the comments here gets it mailed to them!

don't forget to check out the rest of my blog here!

I've just seen the Latest News on the BBC website and the BBC have lost their battle for an injuction to block the publication of a book which will reveal the identity of The Stig.

Thoughts, reactions, opinions?

Just a quick cross-post to remind everyone that James May's appearence on Shooitng Stars will be this Tueasday on BBC 2 at 9:30pm.

Very exiting. :)

Just a forwarning that Top Gear starts at 9:30pm on Sunday 1st August (the last episode of Series 15) due to Golf on BBC2.

Not sure how many have seen this, but it's been confirmed that Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise will be the Stars in a Reasonbly Prices Car, as they in the UK promoting their new movie.

I don't know about you, but...oh my god. It could go well or it could be an utter disaster given Tom Cruise's history of interviews in recent years and well, you know, that Scientology thing he's got going. I wonder how much Clarkson will be biting his tongue thoughout that entire interview.

Hello all!

Hope you all enjoyed tonight's episode - I certainly did, definitely the funniest one in a while!

The reason for this post was prompted by shishmish posting about James' honorary degree. I can't believe I didn't think to post it here, but I graduated alongside him!

James was at Lancaster University (in Pendle college, the most superior of all the colleges </obvious college bias>) in 1982, studying music. This year, he was given an honorary Doctorate Of Letters (I've linked to the wiki article because I had no idea what it was!), and so he came to graduation.

He was presented with his degree, and did a wonderful speech - really witty and very, very touching. He was so overwhelmed to have recieved it. He made a delightful quip about how 'having the degree would make him the most intelligent of the Top Gear presenters, which is basically like saying you have the best room in Bowland college' - I appreciate this reference will be lost on non-Lancastrians, but it was marvellous to share a wee in joke like that!

Then, after doing all his important stuff with the important people, he came down to our celebrations at Pendle bar and spent three hours there! It was impossibly lovely of him, considering how busy he must have been, and how many autographs he was asked to sign. But he was gracious and funny and chatted to absolutely everybody - including me! :DDD He told us that we could take over his TG job in three years, as they'd all be too old by then! Seriously, so lovely.

And a picture!
