It is an ex-Hamster - it has ceased to be.

The BBC said Top Gear was being postponed until he has recovered sufficiently to take part again.

No no no. It's re-titled "Pocket Man" because of his size

I have read the Mirror interviews this morning and according to that he has physically recovered but is still suffering mentally. He says he can't watch anything scary on TV as it really ***** him up and he makes a point of saying how he is annoyed with himself for putting his parents through having to see him in hospital. He says they never like watching him do the dangerous stuff for top gear and the accident seems to have proven them right. He has allegedly only been taking nurofen for a couple of weeks, no other medication so signs are good

I don't think they will axe TG but i doubt it will be the same again, at least I don't think hammond will be doing anything dangerous/high speed again.

Oh! Is it fashionable to talk about Hammond again? I wish someone had told me!
