Champers, darling?

A couple of amusing moments with His Loveliness today, both involving champagne. Before a certain daily publication starts fulminating, Tomasz was not drunk and disorderly.

It was a story involving the discovery of encased champagne, which was found in a shipwreck. This story was of particular interest to Jane Hill, as Matthew Amroliwala was keen to point out in their banter. Jane wanted to "move on swiftly", but Tomasz was all ears about Jane's champers prediliction...



That raised eyebrow was rather cute, don't you think? Lousie Minchin commented that the champagne story was "delicious"... and speaking of which, she linked to The Schaf, who is equally delicious. Tomasz commented (to Louise): "You like a glass of champagne, don't you? Don't we all sometimes"



During one his weather forecasts, he said it would be "damp on the ground" for many of us. Rings true, when one watches Tomasz do a weather forecast... err.. yess


Appears that some sleet is on the way for north-east England, possibly some snow up the Cheviots. I hope none of my readers in Cornwall, is not badly affected by the floods of the past couple of days.

No hum-Hill-iation

A saucer of milk for Simon McCoy {i} again today, with an 'oblique' suggestion that Tomasz is "a venomous mammal" {ii}. Tomasz is no beast! {vi} Just what has The Schaf done to engender such abuse, outrage I say. Definitely worthy of a




To be fair to Tomasz, he gave sublimely ironic withering stare to Simone-- such is the flawless comic-timing of His Loveliness. Well he is a smooth operator {iv}


No doubt some "dupeki" will miscontrue that as humourless behaviour, or other such projecting bitchy nonsense {iii}. However later on, Jane Hill commented that she had Matthew Amroliwala with her-- so Tomasz was "safe". Credit to Tomasz, he pointed out that were no hard feelings between him and Simon.

It's clearly all persiflage: As regular readers {v} will know, such badinage between the two has become commonplace, all grist for the humour mill. They clearly have a bromance going on, they can't admit their feelings for other [a psychologist writes...], hence the tension. It makes sense when you think about it eh? [Wink]


{i} Henceforth known as "Simone"
{ii} After a report about the Solenodon: One of the world's most ancient mammals, and the only one to have a venomous bite. Thanks to Terratec for video upload and info.
{iii} And to use that great East Midlands expression, I would say to those people: "Yetwa"
{iv} To quote Sade. She's gone quiet hasn't she?
{v} If you are one, thanks. I'm impressed if I haven't rotted your brains yet!
{vi} Well maybe he is in some senses, ooh!

Rock on Tommy

The Radio 4 continuity announcer linked to Tomasz's forecast today: "Now to the weather, perhaps with one eye on the weekend, here's Tomasz Schafernaker".
"Two eyes in fact Rory", came Tomasz's droll reply.

And what nice eyes they are-- and we only have eyes for Tomasz {iii}. Certainly better than looking outside; dense and raw fog all day round my neck of the woods-- only 5C. Clearly such damp conditions get to Tomasz; on the 11:28am bulletin, he had a coughing fit and dredged up some phlegm brulee. To be fair, he did the decent thing and swallowed {i}

Later our weather god was abused by Matthew Amroliwala. After some story featuring a cannon, Matthew suggested that poor Tomasz should be lined up and shot at {ii}, if he gives us bad weather news. No way to treat The Schaf!



I'm pleased to say his other forecasts went smoothly. Tomasz was worried the forecasts may be a bit boring with the "blocking high" sitting to north-east of the British Ilses. Tomasz could never be boring, especially with glossy striped pink tie and stubble. And an array of gorgeous smiles too!



It appears the Vale of York has become another favourite for Tomasz... not there's anything wrong with the low-lying land between the Vale of Mowbray and the Humberhead Levels! Well, apart from thick fog and frosts and the moment.

{i} [...]
{ii} With a cannonball, before anybody makes a clever remark.
{iii} ["John Shuttleworth" voice]: Oof, but not on the radio-- because you can't see what's going on. Not though it through have I, flawed analogy.
