22nd August, 2014

It's been a while since I was last on... A certain radio presenter's been on holiday! But thank you, Rob Adcock, once again for having me on your Drivetime show. Loved it as always!

GK's Peek at Drivetime's Week 22/08/14

So, being the month of August
(Though does that really matter?!)
Rob’s had ANOTHER holiday
And came back somewhat… fatter

But more of ‘how come’ later
What news did this week hold?
Well, the lift tower’s been abseiled
By an eighty nine year old

Sywell Airshow was sold out
But some folk were left chagrined
For the Lancasters were grounded
On account of excess wind

Which prompts a swift, wee mention
Of this cold autumnal bout
For we’re feeling somewhat chilly
Thinking, ‘Time for thermals out…’???!

And that’s not all that’s changing
For train fares are increasing
As is stress related illness
For those working in policing

Shoemake’s earned a testimonial
‘Cos he saved… well… quite a lotta goals
And Northants now has money
To fix a few more pottaholes

We hope that’s not a joke
For Tim Vines’ was voted best
And a man who drank live fish
Still walked free once he’d confessed

Which brings us round to Rob’s
Latest culinary wheeze
A six inch deep baguette
Mostly filled with meat and cheese

This explains why at a wedding
He found his suit had shrunk
And he kept his clothing on
For his icy challenge dunk

Still… moving swiftly on
As we’re running out of time
Banks are closing branches
But we’ve plans for cybercrime

Cobblers lost to Portsmouth
And we’re waving ‘bye’ Sky Blues
Exam results are out
Yay! It isn’t all bad news!!

But is Corby eating Weldon?
Some would say a worthwhile question
Whilst others see Greyfriars
And still get indigestion

So those seeking inspiration
Find Rhianna, she’s your girl
For the oyster of adversity
Has made her quite some pearl

And her uplifting story
Is a goodly place to end
For else Rob will talk of holidays
And drive us round the bend!
