It's just as well I get paid by the hour and not by the word. In all the confusion of the past daze I've forgotten to get any reports out. The station chiefs tell me that ratings are up though so they'll cut me a little slack!
Angerstein left me pretty much drained. I haven't had to use my axe for a while in the course of duty. Normally a camera, perfect smile and a shotgun seem to be all I need to get by. Now I'm having to pack blister cream and raljex for my hands and biceps.
The Team are pretty spread out, bringing you a good overview of the Malton situation. Blesley Mall was seeing some hot action but communication from there has been cut off. This bodes badly but it could just be that Ron decided that powering a fridge full of beer was more important than the radio - and who can blame him.
Reports are coming in from all over of seamless links and damn fine camera work and it looks like a busy news week is in progress. I'll do my best to keep you updated as the situations change.
On a final note, one of our finest has decided to leave the hustle and bustle of the news team and set up on his own. Tovarisch is going rogue on the airwaves, broadcasting his thoughts and observations on channel 27.04.
My first experience of Tova was after a particularly nasty encounter with Mantooth. I was cut up pretty bad and oozing from places I don't even want to think about. In he walked with his medic kit in his hand. 'It'll take more than a band-aid comrade' I groaned. 'How about Scotch-Aid then' he said with a smile. He brought out a bottle of Johnny Walker and proceeded to pour it over my wounds and down my throat. The pain was intense, if I'd had a gun I'd have shot him, then I passed out. When I came to he was still there beside me, smoking a cigar and shooting at the bastards that were trying to claw their way through the window.
So good luck to you out there Tova, and to all you others that are just trying to survive.
