Hamster in the Daily Mirror
« on: October 23, 2006, 02:22:26 pm »
I read on the BBC website that Richard Hammond has written about his accident in the Daily Mirror (whatever that is).

He says that after his accident he regressed into a childlike state, became obsessive and had acute short-term memory loss.

Question:  Why is it that I have got all these things and I didn't even TRY to break the land speed record?

Isn't this the average person on Monday after Le Mans?

My thoughts entirely Dave. He looked a bit unsteady on his pins too when they took him out of that ambulance at Bristol Hospital and his eyes seemed to be pointing in different directions.
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Nice piece of reading, thanks for the link. I'm amazed by this>>

Unbelievable, after crashing at 288 mph :-\
