Pity. :/ I know the transcript page on LJ still exists, to an extent, but wasn't sure if anything stuck around when LJ effectively died.
To be honest, it tripped me up when he started following me.
So, the other notes about the introduction: After John calls Simon out for yawning, Simon stops and then John loads the first Chekhov's gun by saying that 'Simon is known for his 4 voices, normal, shouty, Scottish, and lady.' I found it interesting, because it is similar in nature to the Margaret thing that I mentioned in my additions in that during the SYAM Credits, John mentions that 'But they [the BBC] suggested I should hire some actors to do voices. Voices, said I, why I can do all the voices we can ever need: normal, silly, French, and two types of posh...." Being, in the first sketch (as Simon tells John) he does both his normal and shouty voice, this sets up the rest of the show perfectly. Additionally, the introduction for Simon also includes a bit about how he's the 3 (or 4?) year winner of 'loudest/shoutiest person in a smallscale radio ensemble. (Something like that?) I liked it because it takes care of not only JFSP as a radio ensemble, but also Monster Hunters, as he is sometimes kinda shouty as Sir Maxwell House in Monster Hunters.
(Btw, I didn't realise this until I got back, but on the Maxwell House container that he signed for me, at the end he wrote 'I'm actually Simon Kane, as above he had written GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.)
