James May's Man Lab

[beachBOYken]

i may try a fish finger mandwich , someone where i work loves them and watching this makes me want to try

 

[georges]

They're amazing. Need mayo though.

 

[Trifid]

The only thing I have learnt is to use 5 fish fingers in the sandwich and not the 4 I've previously used.

I only caught the bit where they were making the concrete kitchen top... I thought that was pretty cool.

 

[Shamikebab]

It's....ok.

Nowhere near as good as his last one though.

 

[Glaucus]

Didn't watch it the description sound a bit rubbish, compared to his other stuff.

I've really liked the looked of polished concrete on programs like grand design, especially when they add stuff to it.

 

[spicypixel]

Loved it.

 

[Hank_Marvin]

Thought it was ney bad.

 

[Cambofrog]

Okay, in theory, this sounded like a good idea, a show to teach all those totally flowery metrosexuals, how to at least appear to have some degree of alphaness.

But honestly.. it is a big pile of steaming brown stuff.


Is it just me being a grumpy old man, or did James May, really miss the mark this time?

Agreed.
I hated the first episode, but I thought I would give it a second chance 'cause I usually like James May stuff.

The latest episode is just as bad as the last, if not worse.

It's pansy man lab IMO

The train with the bog roll alarm is pure genius.

 

[PermaBanned]

I enjoyed it, are you referring to his last one where he got in a jet and saw the curvature of the earth? In which case - don't you think it might be a budget issue?

I was talking about Toy Stories, didn't realised he'd done something else since then!

 

[Ceryndrion]

there is a fatal flaw with his whole train idea, and that is quite simply that it is dependant on there being someone, in the kitchen area, to control the train for him.

As to the concrete worktop, so far as I could tell, they just poured concrete into a wooden frame, with no finishing done at all, so in a real world situation, would be completely not suited to the task.

This week, I got as far as the 'grade 1 music' scene, before I had to turn it off.

 

[Amp34]

I liked it especally for wiring a plug.
brown is live
blue is not
yellow and gree they earth the lot

Anyone else notice that he then went on to say that black was live and red neutral? Could be some interesting results...

James May's Southern Pooftah Lab TBH. Poetry? Kitchens? WTF!!?

Someone made one on Grand Designs a few weeks back and the one James May made blew it out of the water.

I am finding the programme a struggle to get through because bits of it are so stupid.

Hmm, looks like it was a special, but still:

 

[Lopéz]

I wonder why the new standards call for live to be brown.

It's because colour blind people find the old colours harder to differentiate between.

 

[DJMK4]

Good on him i say, its inspiring, its what the UK needs at these times.

Ah-ha
