James May is a real man, not scared of using tampons because of their connection with the "other purpose". It's just a bit of absorbant material when you think about it logically.
I mean it is the same with condoms. Not kidding. Allied soldiers during D-Day landings did had at times put a condom over their rifle so water wont get in
It's a dive watch. There's a rotating ring ("bezel") on the outside on the case that spins in 1 direction with an arrow on it. It points to a minute marker on the watch face/dial. This allows divers to gauge how much time has passed if you set the marker to the time you started diving. The most famous example of a dive watch is the Rolex Submariner. Jeremy however is wearing an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. They both are dive watches with timing bezels.
Let's be honest guys, we've all done stuff like this, kinda weird stuff, kinda funny, a smart use of an item it wasn't intended for, kinda embarrassing. James May just has the balls to tell the world about it
This video perfectly encapsulates the dynamic of these three. If I want someone to understand why I think they're hilarious I'll just whip this clip out.
Anyone else notice that sorta high-pitched laugh/scream at 1:09 and again at 1:15 ish like someone is trying to be cute but sounds like they're being pleasured.
May: "Spillage." Hammond: "Oh mate, what?!" May: "I had a bit of an accident on the cooker once..." Hammond: "Sorry this is getting worse!" James May for Prime Minister!
My dad has terrible ocd to the point that he has a certain bizarre hand movement he does subconsciously when carrying out any compulsive actions with either or both his arms at his sides. Also james manner of talking is just like my dad. Almost like he's constant in distress about something that's on his mind and talking about it acts like a medicine of sorts. Also the way he keeps erratically blinking, my dad does that. James reminds me so much of my father.
Yeah, I had a really bad nosebleed two weeks ago and had to shove a tampon up my nose after realizing my usual "fold-a-sheet-of-toilet-paper-into-a-plug" tactic wouldn't work
@whityjack Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry, by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing the associated anxiety, or by a combination of such obsessions and compulsions. Symptoms of the disorder include excessive washing or cleaning; repeated checking
He goes off on them in the last season during the Bolivian special. Hammond hits the back of May's car like he always does whenever they stop and James comes out with a machete.
It was Jeremy that rear-ended James, and it was also an accident. James warned him and Richard earlier on in the special that he'd "cut [their] f*cking head[s] off" if they tried rear-ending him because he's afraid of heights
@@sportsjefe Pretty sure what I was saying was something along the lines of, now Clarkson can't say he's never used a tampon because he has on the Grand Tour. But I'm not sure because I don't have a time machine. What I AM sure of is the fact that I was very aware of how old this clip is 3 years ago.
I love James May. The way I see it, the presenters of Top Gear are the Thick Midget, the Ogre and the Professor. You can tell how much I like James May by the huge difference between what I use to characterize him, the Professor, and what I use to characterize the other two. He's smart, he's the serious man of the bunch, he thinks before doing something and he presents a science channel on youtube. Clear winner, among those three.
it also is for diving. that's also the reason you can only turn it in one direction: if you turn the ring by accident (hitting something), you'll only get up for air sooner (no problem) and not later (bit of a problem).
I've seen that and i laughed. Truth is... i'm not much different. I do really hate it when people move my air-vents, touch the wood details or anything like that. And i'd like to say that make-up brushes make excelent car-detailing tools! :D
@TheSRalston Not serious "I'll die if I don't fix it!"-kind of OCD, he just likes things in a particular way, and they enjoy teasing him mercilessly about it. :)
I'm the same with the watch bezel thing! Drives me nuts. That and when I'm sitting at a bar I always like my beermat to be squared with the edge of the bar, and my coffee table bas to be square on the rug which has to be square to the floorboards! Its not full-blown OCD though I keep telling myself. Just an idiosyncracy!
Welp, it's been about two months since I got my watch, I'm happy to report I still check it every so often to make sure the bezel is still lined up with the 12 o'clock position
Sanitary towels are also great at absorbing moisture from upholstery. Spilled some ketchup on your sofa? Wash it thoroughly and then use some STs to dry it out. You'll have a clean sofa and avoid the moldy smell that you would get otherwise.
@lisola It's an Omega Planet Ocean on a rubber strap. He's had it for a good few years now. The Top Gear guys seem to have new watches for each series, but I've noticed that Jeremy has stuck with his.
Tip : ask your partner first if you gonna use em. Borrowed it when i was cleaning the engine and the bay.. she got mad and i had to buy new ones and thats never fun
Some say that he is the world's most interesting boring man.
YeOldeScience this 2 year old comment just got so much funnier cuz he recently got a hair cut 😂

James May. Shut up.
When I was young I used to get nosebleeds quite badly and a tampon put up a nose was way better than tissues.
Only one string attached

I like his Seamaster. Hammond has a Rolex Sub tho. It's cool they all are watch-nerds and have nice collections as well.
"Hammond you will interested.."
"I WILL NOT!"
Your grammar sucks.

"I have." has the same energy as "H e l I o"

No wonder he names his tools.

Ugh, i feel James' pain so much.
I would rip the watch off of Clarkson if i were James.
At least he's got good self-control. XD
This video perfectly encapsulates the dynamic of these three. If I want someone to understand why I think they're hilarious I'll just whip this clip out.
Let's just make this clear: I came here for the OCD, not the tampons.
That said, I can't stand that watch-arrow thing either.
+appelpower1 what's that "watch-arrow" thing means...????
ssq778 I'm not sure how to explain it. In the video, when Jeremy does something with James's watch: it's that.
ooohhh..... okay....
More fun than Evans top gear.
+timwins31 the beeb shouldn't have restricted GT so much
Clarkson’s face during James’s explanations 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jeremy: ''If you lose it you just go for the 'I've never used a tempon'.''
James:''I have!''
You can almost hear the dial-up sounds in Jeremy's head when James says that
“You will know this”
“I WILL NOT 😡”
THERE YOU GO. I agree with Hammond
I can't help myself, I love James May! I just want to put him up on a shelf somewhere, he is so cute!
Don't know if I'd call him cute, but I would love to hang out with him, maybe show him some memes people have made with him

oh mate wot
i've had a bit of an accident on the cooker once
sorry this is getting worse

You can also buy XS tampons and shove one into your nostril if you suffer from bad nosebleeds. Works for cold too.
