Not only that Turnipsock the way that we see things on the TV such
as the program you're talking about is a mirror image.

Same for the anti-clockwise stirring actions of a TV chef.


Are you sure it's a mirror image? If so then why?

Because we are seeing James May clamber over the fence gates from the eye view of a camera and that is why.

Same as I have said for a TV chef's anti-clockwise stirring actions, if we were watching some one in their kitchen then they would be stirring a pan from the opposite angle.

Try it in a mirror.

I hope Rosalind is deliberately pulling some legs!  [:)]


Television and photographs aren't normally reproduced as mirror-images...

You don't really think they have to make the studio-clock, weather maps, and any other props "backwards" surely!!!

Indeed! TV can flip the image if they want; it's a technique used often in editing. But it's not normally that way.

And even if it was flipped, that wouldn't change the gate controversy. The hinges wouldn't jump to the other side of the gate just because the picture is flipped.

No, it's true! TV completely changes the way everything looks. I once bumped into Jamie Oliver in my local Kwik Save store and in real life he looks just like my Mum. Strangely, he was with my Dad at the time and was asking about my eczema ........



.......Here, you don't think the lying bastard was only pretending to be Jamie Oliver do you? I always thought he looked shifty on those Sainsbury commercials

BC I can't drive so read the road signs as I'm walking towards them.

Hello. This is James May here. The slightly awkward one from Top Gear with a silly haircut and the cute button nose. I used to be call James Definitely-Will, but the BBC made me change my name to James May because they said it was more in keeping with my insipid and indecisive personality.

John Chapman is absolutely right. We are all made up to look completely different on TV. In fact, the BBC actually only has 3 presenters – the rest is all done with make-up. Ann Robinson, for instance, is actually a 6’ 3” ex rugby player called Bob. And he’s black. Me? I am actually James May, Carol Vorderman, several newsreaders and one of the Blue Peter cats. I am also the voice of Kat Arney.

I should point out that the bumbling James May is just a character I play. In real life, my sophisticated repartee, razor sharp wit and youthful athletic body make me very popular with the showbiz ladies enabling me to have secret affairs with such Hollywood beauties as Kiera Knightly.

I’ll give him ‘cute button nose’, the sad deluded bastard. Pass me a gun, someone!

I mean, he’s not exactly got the sexual charisma of (sigh) Brad Pitt or (bigger sigh) Chemistry4Me, has he? Actually, while we’re on the subject, my mate Angelina Jolie who knows how much I fancy him says I should just ask outright:

Have you got any chemistry for me, Chemistry4Me?

Hi Chemsy

That slapper Angelina has just been on the phone. Honestly, she can’t ever find her own man. Just ask Jennifer Aniston. Anyway, she wants to know, have you got a spare clone and would we like to make up a foursome with them. She said we could mix ‘n’ match at the end of the night. Honestly, she’s like a bitch on heat. What do you think, Chemsibaby?

Bleedin’ hell they’re all jumping on the bandwagon. I’ve just had Cameron Diaz on the phone now. She and Halle Berry want to come too. Courtney Cox wants your body. And Jodie Foster wants to know if your wife’s invited. This is turning into an orgy. Especially with that hussy Angelina Involved. She doesn’t necessarily even stick to one species, let alone one gender!

Should I let them all come, Chemsibooboo?

How many of us can you handle?

Goodness me Keira Knightly! I am humbled that you have appeared out of nowhere and graced this forum with your er...girlfriends.

Wanna come to my house? We can have a party!

Why would you want to climb over this anyway?

Moss agate! Agate is a type of quartz (IIRC!).

Oi! You! Chemistry4me. This is Brad Pitt here. I’ve heard all about you coming on to my wife, trying to sully her innocence with one of your sordid swinging parties. Angy is pure and virtuous and chaste and immaculate and uncorrupted and angelic and exemplary and faithful and…….

……untarnished and prudish and if you ever come near her again I’m coming over there to shove a kiwi up your…...
