Whichever it is, this is hardly a middling story, never mind a major one. It's the equivalent of a tiny ripple on a very large lake (where we don't even know what caused the ripple in the first place). Radio 4's 05:20hrs Shipping Forecast that reported the incident.? |

He's an attention seeker.
I suspect he doesn't like the Shipping Forecast, because it's a list of names and numbers, with no freedom for him to put his own 'interpretation' on it. Just be a professional broadcaster, and do it straight like the others. At 5 in the morning there are no managers in the building. Probably had a 'Let's see how many mince pies I can eat in in 5 minutes just before I go on air' competition. You see, any one individual incident, and it would just be 'one of those things' But there are so many 'near misses' on the News channel that aren't quite worth mentioning, but they happen on a weekly basis. |

Tomasz likes to party so what? his surname sounds like a funky house beat in a dance music tune.

At 37 years old it's time he grew up:
http://metro.co.uk/2016/12/19/hungov...party-6333382/ An apt saying in the circumstances would be 'shape up, or ship out'. I mentioned this to some gay friends of mine and they have been filling me in on his antics on the gay pick up app 'Grindr'

Indeed. It must have been all the millions of Sun readers, who are regular consumers of
Radio 4's 05:20hrs Shipping Forecast that reported the incident.?

It has been speculated that Tomasz was suffering a hangover – a likely explanation the morning after the BBC South-East Christmas party.
I'm surprised that you feel that someone of 37 is seen as too old to get drunk & have a hangover the following morning. Obviously this behaviour is only allowed for younger people.Quote:

BTW, what anyone does in their spare time is of no concern to their employer unless it is deemed to bring that employer into disrepute or unless there is a clause in their contract that is being broken. And as he is still part of the BBC Weather team (courtesy of the Met Office at this point), it is safe to assume that neither the BBC nor the Met Office have any obvious concerns regarding his private life. And for that matter, neither should anyone else. |

Richardcoulter I take you have never been ill? A bit harsh to suggest someone 'shape up, or ship out' for being ill. Then again this is the internet.

If what you are doing in your private life affects your work your employer has every right to investigate . I wonder how many ''final warnings'' he will get ?

How may "final warnings" has he received then? And for what? |

Maybe he did have a hangover or maybe he was tired from a late night and has picked up this bug that is doing the rounds and couldn't continue. I know yesterday I had to excuse myself from a staff meeting I had called and left them to chat whilst I went out and as soon as I was out threw up in a bin as I couldn't make it to the loo. I felt rough but had no idea that would happen it just happened , things do sometimes and do not automatically mean you are not fit to do your job, but we know the tabloids like to make a big deal out of anything to do with the BBC it saves them having to strain themselves on real news. |

Now that's a good point, thrown into sharp relief by some of the contributions on this thread.

On it's own, this would probably only been briefely covered by the papers because it's the first time that this has happened to the Shipping Forecast. But taking into account his previous antics, it doesn't look good even if it wasn't his fault. Quote:

I don't have a problem with him as an individual, it's his immature and inappropriate behaviour both on and off screen that needs sorting out for good. I imagine that there will be a lot of people who would be over the moon to have the job that he has and wouldn't put it at risk by juvenile behaviour. |

I imagine that there will be a lot of people who would be over the moon to have the job that he has and wouldn't put it at risk by juvenile behaviour. I assume you think those who relied on that report for their safety would rather have had someone throwing up and speaking between heaving, and of course if as you say he has put people at risk by his behaviour ( that is what you have said whilst not using those exact words ) then the police will be taking an interest and of course all those whose safety he put at risk will be suing the BBC as we speak. |

No strong opinion on the man, but his sexuality is surely a private manner as to whether or not he wishes to disclose it - unlikely in and of itsekf to affect his performance.

There's a big difference between being genuinely ill and not being able to work properly because you have consumed too much alcohol. The latter would clearly be a matter for disciplinary action, the former easily resolved by a doctor's note. He does seem to attract more than his fair share of publicity.

I was not aware that a doctor would issue a note to cover a single day (or morning).From NHS Choices (an authoratitive site that provide facts rather than supposition): Quote:
When do I need a fit note? http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/1062.aspx?CategoryID=68Seven days off sick or less If you're off work sick for seven days or less, your employer shouldn't ask for medical evidence that you've been ill. Instead they can ask you to confirm that you've been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. This is called self-certification. As he is still presenting weather bulletins and has not even been removed temporarily, it would seem that neither his employer (the Met Office), nor the BBC (the contractor) has any issue with this. So why should you? |

So where is the hard evidence that this was as a result of "too much alcohol"? BTW, newspaper reports don't count, especially when they use words like "suspected" (or similar).
