just re-visited A4A after a short period away and am quite amazed to see this thread. It seems that everyone is a big fan of Richard, myself and my wife included. Just goes to show what a good guy he is if messages of hope are posted on an allotment site. God bless you Hamster and make a full recovery soon.

Just looked at bbc news front page - serious/significant brain injury, though docs are reasonably optimistic.
So far, £4k has been raised for the local air ambulance by well-wishers. Just checked the justgiving website - over £8k now plus gift-aid.

Just been back to the just giving website http://www.justgiving.com/PHRichardHammond?page=1#donationtable- nearly £55k has been donated to Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Ava saw in the paper this morning that he has been sitting up, talking and taking a few steps. Thank goodness! What a strong, young fella to be able to go from, lets be honest, standing close by to those pearly gates to sitting and talking to his friends and family! What will power! Several of the sights we use have similar threads, all wishing him well, so all of these electric cyber thoughts whirling around the atmosphere can only be a good thing!

Keep up the good work Richard!

Latest news on Richard is , he has ben moved to an "ordinary" ward and making good progress. That was at 9-15pm. Great news.

Was very shocked to hear the news a few days ago but glad he seems to be doing okay. He is just so sexy! I'm not the slightest interested in cars but can't miss Top Gear.....or any other programme he's on - Christ he even makes me want to like physics!! ;D And he just seems like one of life's 'good blokes'. I wish him and his family every best wish..... :)

Mrs Ava · « **Reply #27 on:** September 23, 2006, 21:59:54 »

oh Amanda, I sooooooo agree - I can't resist him! Good job I do like cars and science me. It is great that he is doing so well. Like I said, he is obviously a strong willed fella!

Love him, or hate him he's certainly got a way with words.

My eyes have just filled up again.

I've done a lot of that this week.

Carry on with the good recovery Hamster!

Donations have hit the £128k mark and the target has been raised again ! :o

Great link, Soph! Jeremy's spiel in the ST is quite fun, too.

But what's the hamster bit? He's 5'6"! It's only Jeremy's great hulk that makes him look small.

Phee · « **Reply #31 on:** September 24, 2006, 17:51:27 »

Where does "Hamster" come from? I guessed that it was because his name is HAMmond and he's small(ish).

Oh well whatever it is, he's a lovely guy and I really do wish him a speedy recovery.

Very good article - and SO SO happy Hamster's doing so well.

tim · « **Reply #33 on:** September 24, 2006, 18:01:29 »

Thanks, Soph - yes. Especially 'the piece for the camera'!!

Nice idea, your HAM bit.

CotswoldLass · « **Reply #34 on:** September 24, 2006, 18:03:47 »

Times article is brilliant! Well said JC!

triffid · « **Reply #35 on:** September 24, 2006, 18:20:28 »

Off to the beeb site to register furious opposition to binning of TG.

And this from a fully fledged environmentally friendly, vegetarian, beekeeper (with a husband who has both beard and dirty fingernails ... puzzled why JC has it in for them, mind ???)

Wonder if it'll make even the slightest bit of difference?

I think even the Boob recognise the fact there would be anarchy if it was pulled.

I've read somewhere that the last "best of" will be postponed until Richard's recovery. They're hedging their bets.

Also heard today that they were making dire threats to everyone watching the Ryder Cup without a licence. I'm a licence fee payer, always have been, resent it to the max but have always complied. Maybe they should listen to what the people that pay their wages want. Sounds a bit like the government heh ?

Oh and I have signed the petition. Can't hurt can it. Long live the internet which gives people a voice.

;D

Done!!

Not just to save Hamster's job, but to retain a perfectly balanced comedy act.
