Camptown races

On Friday evening Tomasz was there on the News Channel, to inform us about weather at sundry sporting events-- for instance proclaiming in was hot on the track for the Bahrain F1 grand-prix-- although The Schaf was already hot on my screen.

There was an adorable moment at just after two minutes in, where Tomasz had a muttering about Monmouthshire-- and started 'talking broken biscuits' about race-courses. Since Tomasz is a star, he could laugh off his memory lapse {i}.



Not to worry our Tomasz: If you take away the gambling, where's the fun in watching horses being whipped by the vertically-challenged? There is one good way of leaving a bookmaker with a small fortune-- go in with a large one.

Ta muchly to Terratec, for the clip^

{i} Oh that laugh... even better than Rustie Lee's-- that's saying something.

Here's the weather... with weather presenter of the year!

The Schaf was back on our screens tonight, rightly feted by his news-reading colleagues-- made Tomasz do his endearing laugh! Although he was told off by the gallery gophers for not commenting about his award... oof, no pleasing some folk eh? I don't think any comment is needed-- Tomasz is the best! We already knew that of course, but still it's nice to have it officially recognised.

From the BBC News Channel, 7:30pm...



Nice navy/violetish combo going on there!

Thanks as ever to Terratec for his cinematic chronicling of the best weatherman on television. We can't emphasise that enough, can we?

Oiling up Tomasz

The Schaf was on Janice Long's show in wee hours of Monday morning. The delightful Janice bigged our hero up; they indulged in ever-intriguing persiflage, and we got to hear Tomasz's wonderful laugh-- goes right through me.

Janice asked what would Tomasz's perfect weekend be. He said that during the day he'd go for a bike ride {i}; followed by a few cheeky drinks, a restuarant and a bit clubbing {ii}.

Ms Long then curiously asked The Schaf if rubs himself down with WD-40 {iii}... what an image you've given us Schaffanatics, Janice!! Apparently it's to stop your trousers from falling down (likely story).

Our hero advised against this, because you might get it in your nooks and crannies, and you wouldn't be able to go the toilet! [Hoists notional bosom] He couldn't believe he had said that, but I could. Does he have any objections to other types of oil being rubbed into his nooks and crannies... hmm..

On a more high-brow note, Tomasz is into musical theatre {iii}: He is going to the theatre to see Andrew Lloyd-Webber's Love Never Dies, the sequel to Phantom Of The Opera (I feel the latter's pain). Tomasz informed us that he will be sitting near the front next to the director-- I hope Shufflepants gets red carpet treatment. He's a star daaaaarling, a star.

Final topic of discussion, was other uses for household appliances. Tomasz has an alternative use for a cooker knob. It's not what you think...

Fast foward to 0:43:12, in the next five days

All this talk of theatre and 'other matters', has reminded me of this clip. By popular demand, they're back....



{i} Tomasz in lycra... there's a thought.
{ii} I ashamed to say that reminded me of that Stewart Francis joke: "Being Canadian, I like clubbing. And if there are no seals about, I go dancing"
{iii} What do you mean: "I bet he is"?!
