23 times the rather fabulous James May made our day better on Twitter in 2024
James May was always our favourite on Top Gear (and the Grand Tour, although we never got round to watching that).
Sure, it’s a low bar – what do you mean you prefer Hammond? – but to be fair to May he cleared it by some considerable distance.
So it’s with this in mind – plus if you’re not going to do a round-up at the end of the year, when are you going to do it? – that we present 23 times the great man made our day better on Twitter over the last 12 months.

It’s time to be honest with ourselves. The ‘close doors’ button on a lift (US ‘elevator’) doesn’t actually do anything. It’s there to help people with their false sense of urgency. You are revealing your self-loathing if you press it.
TBH I’m in Spain and I’ve had a lot of beer.

I’ve decided that the hardest thing in the world is finding the pocket you want in a coat on the passenger seat of your car. #Wallet

Last night, I found a box full of stories I wrote (and illustrated) between the ages of five and 12. Fascinating reading. Burned the lot.
