Richard Hammond in general ward and cracking jokes

According to the Media Guardian, Richard Hammond "has continued to make a remarkable recovery from his 300mph dragster crash, and was yesterday well enough to be cared for in a general ward and share jokes with his family and friends."

Clarkson claimed: "Swarms of bureaucratic bluebottles are nibbling away at the crash site, desperately trying to find some reason Top Gear should be banished from the screens." According to Clarkson, the crash, on Wednesday, was probably caused by a burst tyre. "Who was to blame? Nobody.""
