It was only a matter of time. John Kettley had his own theme tune, imaginatively entitled John Kettley Is A Weatherman; so it's only fitting that His Loveliness now gets his own ode.
Some of the bonkers DJs at Radio Kent have been introducing Tomasz, AKA "Schaf", with the theme tune from the 1971 film Shaft (see what they've done there?), as sung by Isaac Hayes {i}. So in keeping with the customary lunacy of local radio, they asked the listening discerning dudes and dudesses to come up for a proper theme tune {ii} for Tomasz.
Thence some Kenitsh cool-cats rose to the challenge, and came up with an homage to the original Shaft theme tune, with lyrics that reflect Tomasz's finer tributes. A video treat for all those on Fbk {iii}, as Tomasz hears it. Ears and eyeballs at the ready...

Quide lideralee triffic, I'm sure you'll agree. The cool-cats in question, are a group called Blue Pulse, a heady mix of rock and blues. I heartily recommend you swing on by their site, and dig those crazy riffs. Or whatever rock & blues types do.
Blue Pulse
{i} Who later voiced The Chef in South Park, for those all-vital pub quizzes.
{ii} Or if you're Dennis Waterman, "feem choon".
{iii} Not least because of that blue shirt

Avocado avarice
Unless you've been trapped down a Chilean mineshaft, it can't have escaped your notice that the Olympics are upon us. Amongst the many triumphs, was Usain Bolt breaking the games record for 100m, in 9.63 seconds (what kept him?)
But never mind a Jamaican sprinter giving it welly along an athletics track, there's another feat of such time to behold-- Tomasz eating an avocado. He was set this challenge on BBC Radio Kent yesterday, hark here at 00:32:36
At the time of writing this missive, I know not if Tomasz's attempt was successful. Living beyond the listening posts of Dartford-- I haven't listened to said radio show live-- so I await the Listen Again function tomorrow.
Update: I now have the link to yesterday's programme, a snap-crackle-and-poptastic DJ called Dominic King. He updates us at 00:30:35 , and provides a nerve-fraying commentary. He also informs us that Tomasz eats around 30 avocados a month; it would keep you nice and regular, I suppose.
Whilst the olympians inspire many to greatness, I'm not sure whether The Schaf's eating endeavour will inspire similar avocado antics-- it's enough to give you guts like a lava lamp.
