Terry is off to the tennis – a few poetic lines!

Broadcast
So with the prospect of showers
And play suspended for hours
Our Terry is off to the Tennis.
But under the Centre court roof
He can be somewhat aloof
Covered from that downpouring menace!
With his alan keys in his grasp
He’s ready for any task
Should the roof need a little work over
For his mechanical sense
Is known as immense
But [...]

Bye bye to Maria Sharapova

So now it’s all over for dear Sharapova
And Terry just weeps in his Gin.
We‘ll hear no more from her grunts and her roar
Why couldn’t more balls have been in?
To be quite fair – others with a pert derriere
Can be feasted on – by men who enjoy
Some beauty on court – of [...]

So James May must be really cheap to employ!

Broadcast
It seems BBC scheduling has just given up the unequal struggle with the collective brain cell and decided just to hand over Sunday to James May!
Really! First we had a rerun of him trying to drink the world dry. Then Top Gear – and then off he went to learn about astronauts and going to [...]

Wimbledon – No Nadal..

Broadcast
Oh No!
Now Nadal has pulled out of Wimbledon who are we going to turn to for those indispensable “Underwear adjustment tips”!
Perhaps Andy’s new shorts will require a quick “fiddle”!

Ascot

Ah At last Ascot is upon us again!
And so kind of Debretts to keep us “Up to Snuff”  - by issuing guidelines  to rein in the frisky punter!
It would seem from a cursory glance that some have been written with you  – and your listener – in mind:

Their First rule – “Eating in public requires [...]

Interplanetary Claims Are Us!

Broadcast
I can just see the adverts:
“Have you been hit by a planet which accidentally collided with you?”
“Have you suffered catastrophic damage which has left you annihilated ?”
“Then Call us today” – “Interplanetary Claims Are Us” – for all those “Accidental Planetary Collisions”
“We will take up your claim with Mars”
“Guaranteed No Win No Fee”

Flying or Frying – Which to Watch

Broadcast

Oh goodness – What a dilemma – Springwatch or Master Bellow?
A BBC Scheduling Clash!
To stick with watching the ingredients “On the Wing” OR veering off to see the unknown celebs – “going on a journey “ and cooking them up on good old Master Chef!
Channel hopping between the two added a certain frisson
What fun to [...]

Good oh – we’ve got something to panic about!

That’s it – I knew it would come back.
Now the weather has turned
Now the elections are over
Now we have run out of moat cleaning and the Ducks are all snugly housed
Swine Flu is back to scare us
That should keep us on our toes until we have a 3-day heat wave and we have to tackle [...]

The dumming down of Spring Watch

Broadcast
What ‘s happening on SpringWatch? There was some lass last night telling us all about life in a rock pool .
Faced with a stand off between a hermit crab and an anemone (I can never say that word) she opted for the novel approach of giving each piece of pond life a twee – childish [...]
