Top Gear's James May seems to be enjoying his new-found 'unemployment'
TOP GEAR’S JAMES May has certainly settled into his new life of unemployment in the wake of Jeremy Clarkson’s sacking earlier this week.

The TV presenter has hinted that he will not be returning to the show, telling reporters camped outside his home that he might give up TV altogether:
But really, he’s just been tweeting. A lot.
He’s been doing odd jobs around the house
He’s been meeting with his agents
And trying out some new hobbies
May has also set up a YouTube channel called ‘JM’s unemployment tube’ where he posts beautiful covers of popular tunes on the descant recorder – the latest one is Greensleeves (‘with a hangover’), and it’ll take you right back to your school days.
Just beautiful. But it’s not all fun and games, as many people know all too well:
Chin up, James. You’ll be back on your feet soon.
