Don’t you dare act like you’re the long-suffering martyr of this relationship, Clarkson.
Such a wonderful line. Poor, poor James. And Jeremy saying 'I'm trying to do research', when you just know that he's always the one who's distracting the others from Things They Need To Do and pulling them into wardrobes.
And of course Jeremy leaps on Why The Environmentalists Aren't Wrong, and James wearily applies logic. Also, I love the little details about James's cooking (rescuing the pasta!) and I have no idea why.
“Morning!” he said brightly, kicking his trainers off so they landed haphazardly on top of James’ neatly-positioned Oxfords.
Hee hee hee hee! They're such a lovely little dysfunctional family and I adore them so. I don't know what is meant by 'Oxfords' here, but it almost doesn't matter because it's enough that James has neatly positioned them and Richard has just ruined it.
And Richard trying to snack, and James scolding him, and oh my god most adorable and insane family ever. And Richard sits down on Jeremy's knee and they are all being so incredibly cute that I think I may die.
The discussion about the unreliability of the Wikipedia website is great, and reminds me of when Clarkson mentioned the subject in one of his articles:
Another way of dying quite early - though this time with an axe in the back of your head - is to get a researcher’s job on Top Gear and be found by me, using the Wikipedia website as a research tool. Oh, it sounds great, like the BlackBerry and a wire that connects your mobile to your iPod, but it doesn’t work.
To prove this I recently checked the entry for Jeremy Clarkson and after just a short time thought, “Wow. When can I meet this guy?” He sounds like a riot, a cross between Nick Van Ooestrogen and Genghis Khan. He’s killed hundreds of cyclists, murdered all of northern Scotland, eaten a barn owl, and at weekends he goes out and rams trees for fun.
And Jeremy's being incredibly competitive about QI! Ahahaha! It's so him!
Top Gear Dog and Richard both adopted offended expressions.
Heeeee!
After a few moments, he let out a half-excited, half-disgusted squeal.
That is just such a marvellous description. (AND RICHARD CLAMPS HIS HANDS OVER TOP GEAR DOG'S EARS. AWWWW. AWWWW.)
“How full?” Jeremy asked, poking Richard’s stomach and making him groan, then licking his ear. Richard jerked away in mild annoyance.
“Gerroff. Did you look up ‘disgusting’ when you were doing your research this morning?”
Oh, I love that so much.
“You know, when I was doing my research this morning, I did come across an entry for ‘dickheads’, and there was a picture of the two of you.”
SO MUCH. (And also 'Feeling left out?' 'I'm fine, thanks' made me grin like a loon. It's just - such a Clarksonish question! Such a Jamesish response!)
“That doesn’t count, it technically begins with a ‘u’.”
I JUST WANT TO LEAVE A REVIEW OF A THOUSAND SPARKLY HEARTS.
Have I mentioned before that your reviews make me squee as much as a fic, or actually meeting one of the three, would? Thanks for your comments, I loved them.
(rescuing the pasta!)
I wrote this in a major rush and I think it was originally set as the evening meal taking place first. Replace pasta with beans!
Oxfords are apparently a type of men's shoes, and they sounded like the sort of thing James might wear - sensible, practical lace-ups. And 'shoes' looked weird when I wrote it.
oh my god most adorable and insane family ever
Aren't they? Aren't they? Just picturing them bumbling along in a state of merry dysfunction makes me grin and dance about madly, because it would be hilarious and I truly believe that if someone just filmed them together, all day, every day, it would make the most entertaining television ever!
I hadn't seen that article! Jeremy's rants are a wonder to behold. And he is so competitive - to the point of psychosis. I can relate, that's why I love him so much!
