As a guest announcer for a couple of weeks on RacerX Gullwing's Giant Snail Racing, I've been having the time of my life. It was a long long long time ago when I first watched an episode of the very funny very hyper, totally insane show and immediately I was hooked.

From the dry laconic wit of Wiz Nordberg's (barely awake at times) tones to the high pitch totally unintelligible squeaks of 'Tiny Racer' the show is a hoot from beginning to end where having fun is as important as the races.

With the new track settling in and camera bugs being ironed out, the next season of Giant Snail Races looks like it may be the best yet (even better if Salem can actually get back inworld from her exile in the "Phantom Zone"). Not many shows can get away with having a disembodied voice commentating on things that they cannot see. But Snail Racing manages to pull that off with aplomb and that's down to a mixture of inworld skill and Salem Sella's own brand of genius.

Rounding out the usual cast at the moment is Sante Klees, who was sadly absent for the last race (he had some excuse about RL and beaches and having fun or something like that...) who's reactionary and sometimes left field comments make me guffaw with glee.

As for my place in this eternally moving brightly coloured rainbow of a show? Well I seem to the token British guy...I get the feeling they simply gave me a mic to make the show sound classier!

Here's looking forward to the new races and maybe even a first position or two...
