DD's Toughest Assignment Yet

Jason C is a man of few words and even fewer comedy photos. Since he retired from his career as a stand up comedian he has shunned the public gaze and leads a quiet life a long way from the action. His main interest is completing online reviews of the performance of Home Energy Survey providers - the three word recommendation he posted in June 2009 is still legendary in Industry circles. 

He Tweets voraciously @Caractucus 

 

On those rare occasions when the camera does catch him off guard he does his absolute best to avoid being recognised.  Here he is almost seen sitting as part of the Inquisition at one of the notorious GCIRC Kangaroo Courts.

Jason asked us to meet him at Singapore's legendary Raffles Hotel. Fortunately a loan of the Tardis was once more available as he had specified mid - 19th century. After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing we managed to arrive just after the opening ceremony in 1887. At least the beer was cheaper then than when DD had to shell out £10 for a pint of Tiger in 2010.

According to Linkedin you are based in New Brighton, Pennsylvania. How will you be getting to St Pancras?

What's Linkedin?

You survived GCIRC. Any tips for this year's rookies?

Keep your head down, bring a black and white kindle and always smile and nod at Stretch (Mark Lester to you) unless behind his back.

Our contacts working on the PRISM project have uncovered references to you being a runner. How many miles per day do you plan to run while on GCERC?

Having now completed 56 marathons I no longer feel the need to train. 

That is impressive!  56 marathons would get you from St Pancras to beyond Gothenburg on our route. 

Is there anything that you feel we ought to know about any other team member/s?

I refer you to the tip above.

Are you related to this lady? http://www.modelmayhem.com/645662

I am the only surviving male Carrodus on Earth. Lisa was an early lab experiment.

Krug or Real Ale?

Krug and Guinness in the same glass.

What is the true story about the tiffin tins?

Many hours were spent negotiating and sourcing the said tins.  Used once and then forgotten /lost /disappeared.  An Agatha Christie mystery.
 

Is there a particular GCERC highlight that you are looking forward to?

I'm tempted to say the end but that's a little bit harsh even coming from me.  Let's say the scintillating company and endless variety.

 

Your charity work is well known. What is your connection with Beaver County?

Please name three tracks that you would like to see included on the GCERC Greatest Hit's Album

Aint no stopping us now -Luther Vandross

Please relies me let me go.  - Tom F. Jones

You turn me right round -  Dead or Alive (moot point at the end of this trip)

Jason. Many thanks for sharing these insights with DD's eight readers. Best of luck with the endless company and scintillating variety. 

Readers, if you are starting to get bored waiting for GCERC to get under way you might take a look at the Tour de France. That takes even longer than GCERC and got off to a splendidly shambolic start yesterday.  DD will be following it avidly at his favourite TdF website Blazing Saddles

LATE ADDITION - The Blazer's take on the Stage 1 Shambles

Our next victim knows who he is. He needs to remember to send the photos.  Otherwise we will have to use those ones.
