Work Text:
Sitting at the computer, James had to work his column for the paper. He was trying to write about the three American blokes that were currently hosting the US version of Top Gear.
They were starting to get under his skin. They didn't quite have the chemistry that he, Richard and Jezza had, but given time, they might make it their own, in an American idiom way.
He had to be brilliant in his analogies, make people think he was thumbing his nose at them, but still give them his respect. He reached for the thesaurus to pepper his work.
