OK, I assume you have seen the Top Gear "Winter Olympics".

Two interesting notes: (1) It takes place in Lillhammer, where the Israeli Mosad has once screwed up. This is mentioned in the Munich movie, I believe. (2) Jeremy is wearing a typical arabic headcloth , which doesn't contribute much to keeping you warm.

Anyhow, I don't realy think Jeremy is making a sophisticated statement (or is he?), I just thought it's nice Trivia (being from Isreal, at least  :ph34r:  ).

Erm...That's not typical of Jewish humour is it? Is it perhaps Jewish alternative comedy. Give me Jackie Mason any day!  :D

Sure you do, Jeremy wears it around his neck (and not on the head). But anyhow, although wearing it does mean something (at least a as a poor fashion choice  8) ), I doubt if it means much...

I know its pathetic, but I happily chuckled away when James went sliding down the ski slope when trying to paint the line....also when Hammond built the snow block in the wrong place.

I do like Top Gear, one of the few weekly programs that makes me laugh out loud.

Indeed. Top Gear is actually my favourite TV program. Some of that winter olympics episode had me in stitches!

I also found Jeremy's use of the MP5 quite hillarious. He should join Meathook for some practice :-)
