James May, Top Gear Presenter, Tweets His Mundane Unemployed Life

Since the latest series of 'Top Gear' was suspended following Jeremy Clarkson's now infamous 'fracas', fellow presenter James May has had a bit of spare time on his hands.

So; it's been a week, and still no answer. How exactly do you pronounce 'fracas'?

To fill the void he's taken to telling the world of some thrilling things he's recently discovered.

Vegetables peel more easily if you wet them, yes. But why? #Unemployed

As well as all the things he now has time to get around to.

Three light bulbs in our house need replacing. I'm doing it today. #StillUnemployed

Great news! We also need some new hoover bags. I can spin that out for an hour or two.

Although to be fair, this is very good...

Fortunately he's not just thinking about himself.

Seriously, if you really are unemployed, good luck to you. It's not funny in reality.

And life isn't all that bad when you're unemployed and rich.

Oh sod it. I'm going for a 'spin'. pic.twitter.com/sDWOFcaxDf

And the DIY updates just kept on coming.

More great news. We have a leak in the plumbing. I can get my tools out and everything. And I have some left-over curry to have for lunch.

Once I've done the plumbing, I'm going to fire up Little Honda to see if Norman Tebbit's 'on yer bike' philosophy works. #StillUnemployed

By Friday it was really getting to him.

I've been given some heavy gardening work today. Temptation to cut my own head off with the chainsaw may prove too strong. #StillUnemployed

I'm actually at the point where I'm considering washing my own car. That Albanian bloke* will be furious. #Unemployed

But by Sunday he was starting to make the most of it.

Woodwork tasks today. Being jobless allows you to revisit old interests, learn new things, and listen to the radio more. Sold the telly. #SU

Stay strong James, stay strong...
