Facebook fraternity

I'm sure many of you follow The Schaf on Facebook: As well as writing kind comments of support on His Loveliness's page there, we now have a Facebook page calling for his return:

Fbk got Rage Against The Machine to Christmas Number One last year, and got Cadbury's to re-introduce Wispa-- so who knows?

Speaking of which, I've noticed a couple of comments on Facebook, claiming the decision about Tomasz was borne "out of homophobia". I doubt (I certainly hope) this is not the case, given the large number of gay men that work at Television Centre, not least presenters for BBC News; James Dagwell, Julian Worricker and Evan Davies for instance.

On a brighter note, a nice piece from a Guardian writer, who writes in defence of charismatic weather presenter. She calls Tomasz "glamorous", so she gets my vote!. Ian McCaskill receiving the biggest postbag... well that shows weather-presenters with character are popular. Not only does His Loveliness have that, but he has the amazing good looks to complement it.

If things don't turn out well for Tomasz in his new role, I'd like to make a suggestion, a revival of an idea I had previously: Tomasz has a keen interest in the paranormal, so I reckon they should revive Strange But True {i}. His dramatic narration and engaging phraseology would be perfect! He could even take the mick out those hammy reconstructions, that's the programme's trademark. No offence to Michael Aspel, but Tomasz is much easier on the eye too.

If I recall rightly, his main interest in the paranormal is to do with UFOs. This an epsiode of Strange But True documenting our most notorious UFO incident in the UK {ii}. Imagine what Tomasz would do with this...




{i} Call me selfish, but I wouldn't want to lose him to the USA, and being on Coast To Coast instead [haha]
{ii} If you go to Rendlesham Forest, there's even an official UFO trail to go on now!

Tomasz is out of this world

Sadly no Tomasz on Janice Long's show this morning, but The Schaf has been busy with his t'internet site....

A new blog about new features to his site. Plus he has updated his Contact page, what he'd like you to contact him about... within limits (behave yourselves)! He has done a diagram 3-D visualisation of a mid-latitude weather system. And we have some new photos too, also a couple of cool videos! What a star-- looks great in shorts too.

Given Tomasz's liking for the paranormal, I reckon the BBC should bring back Strange But True, with Tomasz as presenter! He'd be superb, adopting a enigmatic voice and sitting in a darkened library-- narrating about the March 1997 Howden Moor UFO mystery or some such.

A trip down memory lane with classic episodes

Rendlesham UFO mystery (Part 1 of 3)


Stocksbridge Bypass (Part 1 of 2)


^Driven that bypass several times, never seen a spectral monk there though [ha]

The rest of Strange But True is online now I think... repeated on a digital channel somewhere!
