Tim strikes me as the sort of person who would really p i ss me off if I worked with him; the sort of person who constantly crops up where there are gaps in the schedule to say "I'll do it!" and people get tired of fairly quickly.


Well he has done the past 5 or so weekends on World, both Sat and Sunday. I thought it was good to see him the first two week, now its just out of hand and I can't stand seeing him now!

Its that time of year when the sherry goes to the head of the news teams and they get all sentimental and not only start reviewing the year but allow the appeareance of the usual 'old chestnut' stories being dusted down.

Expect to here - presenter to camera "shoppers arn't out in force this year (cut to adolecent girls with Elizabeth Duke earring shoving in MacDonalds down their guts and gorping about in some shopping centre (proberbly Bluewater) "but retailers will be hoping for a sudden last minute flurry (like its such important news) Then The sales start early - not more shopping stories Confused

Look out for the heartstring stuff, something Fluffy be rescued around Christmas day and be called Chris or Mary, see homess people in a hostel as they are depicted as some sort exhibit in a moral zoo.

Don't for get the drought - remember last year they were adamant that the lack of rainfall would cause a drought this year and it would be the hottest and sunniest on record - don't mention the floods - wonderful stuff rolling news, you couldn't make it up Shocked

Just switched on News 24 mid forecast. Can anyone explain why Thomasz Szchzaferznazker had a bad fit of the giggles? I feel like I've missed out on the joke.


Simon when handing over to Thomasz made a comment about him having a "frozen ball" behind him (referring to the weather globe), Thomasz before he could stop himself said something like "at least there is only 1" or something like that - this lead to Thomasz realising that he had made a comment that sound a bit rude and he then struggled to maintain composure for the rest of the bulletin.

Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what he said, but it did make me chuckle too!

To add to the above list, perhaps the usual tat about people feeling let down because they've left it to the last minute to try and make an internet grocery shopping order in the vain, misguided hope that nobody else thought of that a full month ago...?

Tom S was doing cover at BBC Leeds, and Harry Gration asked him about the origins of his name, and managed to contrive a "knacker" joke.
