Interesting article. Perhaps global warming is all part of a grand plan by Russia to seize the planets natural resources.

I once saw a documentary claiming that the German foo fighters where kept in the arctic. Maybe the ruskies are on to them!

-nah is always about oil.

Doesn't Russia already have enough land/resources?

Didn't Canada do something like that too recently?

BTW, we (the US) should get access to all the oil for saving the world not once, but twice.

Obviously they're feeling intimidated because two middle-aged Englishmen drove out there.

You forgot to add as Clarkson mentioned that the two of them were drunk and exhausted. Some of the in-car camera footage was an absolute laugh.

Apparently the enviromentalists were in a fit of rage over the Top Gear trip to the North Pole. Now that makes me happy.

I missed that because she was watching that 'project crapwalk' fashion program on sky1

(she's a smart lass, but I sometimes wonder if there is a tv-soap/docu-soap to brain cell deficiency correlation)

With any luck I'll get to watch the replay this sunday.

Convince her that she REALLY needs to go out with her girlfriends for dinner or something. That's what I try first. Doesn't always work though.
