If the Earth were to be represented by a sphere one centimeter in diameter,
the Sun would be represented as a sphere with a diameter of 109 centimeters, and (*drum roll*)
VY Canis Majoris would have a diameter of approximately 2.3 kilometers!

A bit disappointed with Top Gear in India. A few funny moments but not a patch on previous challenges

Too many attempts at "comedy", not enough driving in rotten conditions. This episode was good when they were actually on the road (night driving, the Himalayas etc.), shite when they weren't (the garden party, the train). They need to remember why people enjoy these specials in the first place (in fact all of the challenges).

India looks beautiful so long as you avoid cities, roads and people. So good luck with that.

I saw a woman today - she must have been well into her 70s - with a face lift, botox, big lips. Dressed like a footballers wife. It was hideous. I actually had to look away. I mean does she honestly think she looks 20 years younger? I can't imagine anyone who would find that attractive. Whats wrong with growing old gracefully?

Jesus fuck, that Top Gear was awful. I turned it off.

What is it with India, looks like a really grimy out of control shit-hole.

biased bollox, i backpack across India for 2 months in 06, via rickshaw, train and automobile. Didn't see one crash, didn't come across ONE westerner who had the shits - few did have denuge fever though i've always felt perfectly safe being in a car with Indian drivers, heck ive done what them pussies did in a cycle rickshaw, and still felt safe. And it's not been called Bombay for a loooong time. Awful episode, I agree.

I thought it was quite good, much better than the recent series.

I thought this was pretty cool. Its the Andromeda Galaxy. Taken from earth with an ordinary SLR

The Andromeda galaxy is 2,500,000 light years away. The light you're seeing left the galaxy 2.5m years ago.

Sorry, there's no getting away from the Indian fatality rate; it is what it is. And if you didn't come across one westerner with the shits, you were freakishly lucky, I don't know anyone (and that includes British Indians) who've escaped scott-free from a touch of Delhi belly (even people who went to Kerula or Goa). A mate of mine has to go to Bangalore a lot and stays in high end hotels every time he goes; he's taken to calling his trips there his "S-plan diet".

I agree about the Bombay thing though, that was just irritating.

It was quite accurate according to my Indian colleagues. And they're Indian, from India; therefore generally have a bit of an idea.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Wait, you mean backpacking accross Asia doesn't mean that you know everything about that part of the world? That's not the impression I've got!

Gee guys your right, the mere though that top gear is just possibly biased is PROPOSTEROUS, being the fair unbiased show that we know is is. A few Indians in an office and a m8 going to Bangalore ( nice clean place btw) does not constitute a good cross section of life in India. Of course my meagre experience of meeting western travellers who had travelled from all corners of India was not sufficient. Who needs a good cross section of people from all walks of life converging on a bar in Palolem night after night to give you an idea of cleanliness and roady safety across India, when you have top gear to give you the CORRECT impression, silly silly me.

Anyone got any good stories about roast chicken?

 

[Cerb]

I got my first Job when I was 15 at a local butchers. One of the things they specialized in was roasted rotisserie chickens. Before they went in the oven my job (on my first day) was to cut the head/neck and arsehole fat off each chicken. On that first day I was about 15 minutes into doing this when as I sliced one of the necks off a few seed kernels dribbled out of the hole.

It was about 3 weeks before I could even look at meat after my first day haha
