Staying damp

Tomasz was back on telly today, and his caption said: "Staying damp", perhaps appropriate for many a devoted Schaffanatic. Or at least that's what it ought to have said...



I can only imagine Tomasz's caption writer is so excited by Tomasz's chuckle at the beginning, (s)he had a case of sausage fingers.



At the end of the News At One forecast, Tomasz wanted to "end on a positive note". His mere presence is a positive note of course, especially when he talks of showers "flirting" with us us, or the rain "coming and coming and splashing". And is it me, or does his suit struggle to contain his biceps these days?

Meanwhile Alex Deakin answered an oft-posed question, why do weather presenters wear casuals for Countryfile and Country Tracks? According to Deaks, is "to be down with farmers"! It appears that Janice {i} appreciated Alex's black jeans too. Of course when Tomasz wears jeans, a whole swathe of discerning gentlemen appreciate it-- some of which may be farmers.

Alex Deakin then informed us that his intials are ARD. I'll leave you to make your own jokes. Meanwhile will Tomasz make an appearance on Country Tracks?

Finally it's not just our Tomasz not has on-air mishaps on BBC News, Louise Minchin got all in a fluster over a.... dropped pen.



Thanks to Terratec and Toptellyfan for the uploads

{i} Not a farmer, as far as I'm aware.

Arise the Schaffanatics!

Considering a certain photoshoot has caused a large swell... in visitor numbers... I think it's only right that I officially create a name, for those who would like to get on their knees and worship Tomasz.

So arise the "Schaffanatics"! Or "Schaffans" for short, I don't want to be risking RSI typing out the former all the time. Well we have TOGs for Terry Wogan and Noonatics for Peter Noone-- so why not Schaffanatics!

I've just about recovered from seeing that photoshoot, via rigorous bouts of self-discipline. Then up pops Tomasz on the News Channel, with a lovely layer of stubble and his benzene-ring tie accentuating his luscious pink lips. He provactively talked of "thermometers rocketing" over the next few days, but he conceded that it was "a bit an exaggeration"-- he underestimates the power of his photos in Attitude (or the gorgeous smile he does at the end of the following)



Speaking of which, I finally got my hands on a hard one today-- a copy of Attitude that is. A lovely interview with Tomasz about his fitness regime and his work at the Weather Centre, plus some bonus pictures!

I shall scan it for tomorrow. If I do them now, I'll be doing my impression of the Emley Moor Tower again!

Speaking of leching on the Internet, by popular request:



Paul Whitehouse and Mark Williams we salute you. I also salute Terratec365 for his hard work too
