Standby for Action
Okaaaaaaaay, so just to recap: Russell skipped town and was chilling in Antigua where he took a crash course in calypso and country music (yes, country music is popular in the Caribbean). He then briefly pops back to the UK, records a radio show before quickly jetting off to the City of Angels in an attempt to "pin pin" Hollywood for the next few months.
Meanwhile, Matthew and myself are back on what is nominally referred to as "Active Standby Duty" (or ASD). This is where we receive calls in the wee hours of the morning to come in and do any prerecorded show that fits with Russell's hectic filming schedule. Of course we're now old hands at this, for those of you who can remember we've been through it all before last year, during the now infamous "Hawaii episodes".
It's funny, I'm referring to the "Hawaii episodes" as if they were some secret strategic military operation that we all undertook in 2007. Don't worry you're in safe hands, "Project Hollywood 08" will be a completely different assignment. These guys are professional comedians and I'm a bit of a poet....gulp(!)
Recycling Proficiency
Back from adventures on Caribbean seas,
Missing the fame and attention like rice misses peas,
Coming back with a wife's nightie, stained with cake by "Sara lee"
Gone but not forgotten, like a little cup of bigamy,
Here on today's "Stupid News":
There's been bouncer's pin-pinning,
Ducks with hard beaks not grinning,
Richard Madeley's not ringing, he's probably out "Time-corridor fishing",
So welcome to diatribe in print,
We're taking eye-tests, but blink,
Reunited by Jingle sounds and Newsround bound with excitable winks,
Searching for links to gain tickets, yet remaining moralistically good,
Next stop the land of "patience" and "caring"... Hooray for Hollywood!
