Hugh in what I'm not allowed to refer to on air as Honkers. His first report airs in the programme tonight. He writes:
Where's that Skiving Sykes? Where's that editor Rupert Allman?
They're in Hong Kong.
It's nearly ten years since the Brits had to hand their colony back to China. Help! Communism! The Red Flag will fly everywhere! The Peoples Liberation Army will overrun the place!
Er, no.
Not much has changed really. Hong Kong is still full of financial types making loads of dosh.
Weird angle for getting on a tram?
Well, we were a bit jet lagged after a 12 hour flight.
The man on the Happy Valley Omnibus. Happy Valley is the main HK racecourse. We hope to report from there later in the week.
Rupert Goes Mad. What IS he doing?
Clue: This is the Avenue of the Stars. Problem is, the stars' names are so small you can't make them obvious in the photo. See next photo for the ANSWER!
Correct. Hong Kong Phooey. Only joking. We may interview a Bruce Lee devotee who is heartbroken that his hero's memory isn't more celebrated. This is Rupert ingratiating himself to get the interview.
Hong Kong primary school flute player with dragon. She was part of the prize giving ceremony for the Dragon Boat races. Which we missed. But we were there for the prizes.
Hong Kong primary school xylophone player concentrating very hard.
Little boy with his Dad on the Happy Valley omnibus. Every time the tram clattered over the points, the little boy mimicked the sound. Hugh tried to record him without intruding - he failed.

strap line suggestion
do not adjust machine whilest in operation
Wow! Rupert's really getting into this, isn't he? Should we propose him to take over the Bruce Lee roles?
Looking forward (hugely) to Hugh's reports from Hong Kong, and I'd like to share the following with you all, including Hugh. I think, in an avine way, this little fellow resembles the lovely person after whom he might have been named.
Sophie - straplines get overlooked on the frog, best to email them!

Wow. Shrike me pink.
Hong Kong Hugh-y, number one super guy...
don't some people just make you sick. Like Hugh the Hack - not just a fantastic reporter but a really talented photographer as well.
Although I suppose he probably doesn't knit.
