Latest photos of Richard Hammond
For some great photos of the latest part of Morrisons commercial Featuring Richard Hammond, follow the link below
More about THE HAMPSTER
He's usually wringing the top speed out of a turbo-boosted sports car. But Richard Hammond sensibly took it much slower in the snow with this four-wheeler.
BBC2's Top Gear presenter Hammond was filming a scene for a TV commercial for Christmas for supermarket chain Morrisons.
Richard, shooting in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, is seen taking shelter from the fake snow under an umbrella and pushing a shopping trolley through the snow past a group of carol singers.

Band -"Take That" in T.Wells?
It was said on National Radio yesterday morning that the Band "Take That" are in New York and were seen going into a recording studio with Robbie Williams.
Today on "Twitter" it is rumoured that they may be in Tunbridge Wells?
There is a big film set being constructed in Calverley Park as we speak and its for a Morrisons advert they tell me.
Richard Hammond has been see around on the set and he is starring in it evidently?
On the other hand was the truth that "Take That" are in the Advert and the media do not want T.Wells to be overrun with crowds?
I have seen the photos of the set and its a big production. The BBC webcam that covers the park for weather has been discontinued? Interesting rumours eh?

Labyrinthitis.org.uk - support for Labyrinthitis sufferers.
The
fact that you have arrived at this site implies either you or someone you
know has had or still has the inner ear infection Labyrinthitis. The norm
for Labyrinthitis is to last between 3 and 8 weeks and then disappear without
so much of a trace. For a fair number however this does not happen and long
after the doctor has said "You'll be fine in a few weeks" such people have
noticed no improvement, let alone a recovery.
This website is for those people who have been suffering for months
and years rather than weeks. The website will explain this syndrome of
"Uncompensated Labyrinthitis" whereby the brain or CNS has not yet compensated
for the inner ear injury.
We are two UK sufferers who have been inspired to form this site in
an attempt to inform and help others out there who are going through the
same experience. Our aim is to make the difficult, emotional and pretty
devastating "Labyrinthitis journey" which we have experienced, that little
bit easier.
As we have realised, vestibular disorders are so often misunderstood
by the general public as well as health professionals and we feel the
need to raise this understanding and awareness of such a disabling condition.
If we are able to inform and support a handful of people, then in our
eyes this website is a job well done.

Another Rough Day
Day 10 and no improvement at this stage. the tablets seems to be making things worse. If no improvement tomorrow then I may have to stop taking them.
No progress yet
DAY 9
I was expecting to be on the mend by now, but it seems not.
It's a worrying time now as the symptoms are still there and I cannot
drive. My long term job prospects are becoming an issue in my mind of
course and I need to get back to work as soon as possible. The doctor
has given me some tablets to try and it's now a case of hope and prayer.

Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr
