It came as a shock when I heard this on the news this morning, wishing him a speedy recovery, and my thoughts are with his family at this time

5

I wish him well.

I wonder if wishing him a ‘speedy’ recovery is in the best of taste given the circumstances. :wink: :wink: :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley: :smiley:

In Memoriam
Richard Hammond

So farewell then Richard Hammond
You were the straight man for Jeremy
Clarkson for a while and that one with
The long hair whose name I can never remember.
They used to pick on you all the time
Keith’s Mum said. Keith said you were flooring
It a bit too hard when it happened.
'Hamster’ was your catchphrase.
And most of your fans were women.
I suppose all your mates are volunteering
To drive the hearse….
Umm, there’s some-one at the door .
Its probably the pizza man.
We will never forget you ,Hamster….

Apologies to EJ Thribb
