James May has a deep thought on Twitter/X!

James May generally likes to keep his thoughts short on Twitter/X. However, an incident he had while enjoying some fish and chips made him think a little deeper about relationship boundaries and masculinity. 😅

How can somebody be engaging with James on Twitter and not have a clue who he is?

How does anybody not know who James is. Top Gear was the most popular TV show virtually ever. Was on terrestrial in every country on Earth apart from Cuba and North Korea.

There's a lot of people who'd say to me "how you do not know (insert K-Pop music artist / prank influencer / controversial opinionated individual) - they're the biggest ever! You're living under a rock!"

It just so happens I know a lot of people who are in TV shows, sport, movies or music that I like. And don't really know anyone else in other areas.

Twitter has over 250million users daily and big creaters will have their tweets shown to more than just people who follow them.

As big as Top Gear is and as almost universally well known as it is it's not fully universal - especially given he stopped being on it in 2015 (And the Grand Tour while good has a smaller audience base)

If you picked 50million brits i guarantee you a good quarter wouldn't know who James May is let alone 250 people from all across the world.

We need a flavoured condiment for chips that is acceptable to the male palate, but repulsive to the female.

Maybe Islay single malt scotch flavour?

Gentlemen's Relish, surely?

Each to their own but I prefer my semen separate from my chips.

As long as it doesn’t come with a gentlemen’s sausage?

If we used it, we would get told off for using it. I’m partial to some brown sauce on chips, my wife hates it. If I put it on my chips I’m the bad guy as now she can’t have some.

He’s not wrong about the point of X now is engagement farming/ rage baiting.

I think the Internet has made people humourless

My twin sister started making a habit of this. She once tried it and got half a chocolate fudge cake off me at a pub just as final orders were called, that was an international war crime of I've ever seen one. She'd best be glad that the UN (mum) was present. Pinching a couple of chips is one thing but you dare insist you don't want pudding and then eat half my cake? Cake is where I draw the line.
