Gin clear

A fertile week for us Schaffanatics in the entertainment stakes, although I'm concerned that these consecutive shifts are having a detrimental effect on our Tomasz. Whilst are skies are "gin-clear", his diction was not always so-- sounded like he had been drinking gin perhaps? {i}



Oof, slight case of talking broken biscuits there: I think it was because he mentioned the dread S-word-- that flustered him! Not to worry, because Tomasz is always cute when he gets flustered. Given the number of live broadcasts the BBC weather folk have to do, coupled with their long/erratic shifts, mistakes will understandably creep in-- I suspect the gallery may have been giving him GBH of the lugholes there too {ii}

Earlier we did have a nicely cheeky quip from Tomasz. He was rightly concerned about getting the tone right, considering events in Cumbria; but I think he's provided some light relief from that horrors, without being tactless. On the 10:57 bulletin The newsreader handed over with: "Let's see what the weather is doing with Tomasz". To which he replied: "The weather isn't doing anything with me!". Bless.

Of course warm weather has other hazards attached to it. Back by ever popular demand...



Now if Tomasz got the term Betty Swallocks into a forecast, I would be impressed. Hmmm, The Schaf with Betty Swollocks-- ooh! {iii}

In other news, Tomasz has "had [his] head 'shaved'...almost not quite...within BBC grade of allowance lol" (quoth Twitter). BBC grade allowance eh-- too late for Peter Gibbs of course [miaow]. Given that Tomasz's hair was fairly closely-crop beforehand, I suspect Tomasz has gone for Geordie dreadlocks.

Finally, a picture of Tomasz's mean machine. Lucky saddle.


{i} I'm joking by the way, libel lawyers

Midday madness

The noon forecast must bring out the rebel in Tomasz-- today he removed his earpiece again (albeit minus the glare)!

To be fair to Tomasz, he was in a middle of a dramatic monologue {i}-- and we can't have the gallery disrupting Tomasz mid-flow. Seriously though, I suspect Tomasz needs his full concentration on weather forecasting at present-- with the inclement weather that continues to plague Cumbria.

Yesterday the Derby suburb of Littleover was affected by a tornado yesterday; that must've given residents a shock, as they were watching Jeremy Kyle. Here's the forecast from News At One today (signed version)...

On a lighter note, I love Tomasz's new snazzy hair cut-- definitely suits him-- it shows perfection can be improved on!

{i} ["Kenneth Brannagh" voice]: Out, out damn low pressure spot.

Slippery mike

An amusing forecast by Tomasz today, just before 2pm. First he let out an adorable laugh, after Maxine Mawhinney threw him a curved ball about water (as one does). Then his mike slipped; but Tomasz handled it like a pro, with thumb aloft.

I like his hair-cut too, I have an overwhelming urge to ruffle it:



Can't wait for tomorrow's Country Tracks!

Thanks, as ever, to Terratec 365 for his Youtubery
