The Confederal Kingdom of Hertfordshire and Jammbo has submitted a formal request to participate in the 2nd Football World Cup.
Signed
Tsar Mečislavs Deben I
Clarkov Jammbonevych Sahaidachny
-
Away from the palaver of the 3rd Rugby World Cup, two surprisingly similar national leaders got together for a nice meal and a viewing of the match between their respective nations.
[A collaboration post between myself & @embubbleblue]
[Kassakira shuffles across the seats with two hot dogs in her hands]
Kassakira Petrovikan: Excuse me, sorry, thank you!
[She finally reaches her seat, and sits down]
.....................
[Where was the 1m 90cm boy with the ridiculously long black hair & slightly too large kimono?]
Clarkov Sahaidachny: H-hi... I’m right here. Next to the seats.
Kassakira Petrovikan: Hey! Do you want a hot dog? One has onions on, and I have sauce in my pocket if you want it.
Clarkov Sahaidachny: Well I don’t like onions, but I’ll have some sauce please.
[She passes the onion free one, and gets out several packets of tomato sauce, mustard, and mayonnaise]
Kassakira Petrovikan: Enjoy! Also, no hard feelings if you win.
[She smiles]
Clarkov Sahaidachny: None taken, cheers. Although I certainly hope we can. That Larxia defeat still stings.
[He takes the mayonnaise and spreads it over his hot dog, before glancing up at Kass]
[She takes a tomato packet and puts it on her hot dog]
Kassakira Petrovikan: I hope we could win, it would make it easier on my team, but life has its ways of teaching you lessons you never knew you needed. That applies to sports too I suppose.
[She takes a bite, chewing quietly]
Clarkov Sahaidachny: If anyone needs to be brought down a peg in the Esferos sports scene, it’s the nation I lead. Karma probably has something up its sleeve for Star Breaker.
[He takes a large bite, also chewing quietly]
[She laughs]
Kassakira Petrovikan: Your nation is strong. I can only hope mine can show to be as strong.
Clarkov Sahaidachny: Given time, yours may become one of the big players. Or it may even do what mine did and somehow win 2 trophies and a lot of medals inexplicably.
Kassakira Petrovikan: I think we already have done the medals thing.
[She laughs, scrunching up the napkin of her hot dog]
Clarkov Sahaidachny: Good point there.
[He cleans his mouth with some tissue and nonchalantly throws it into a bin]
Kassakira Petrovikan: Good shot.
[She turns back to the game, as Hertfordshire and Jammbo go into the lead.]
Kassakira Petrovikan: Oh, you're winning early. It's only been 10 minutes.
Clarkov Sahaidachny: We have a habit of either going into an early lead or scoring near the end of the half. Too bad we can’t do conversions for the life of us.
[He notes the scorer and the time on a piece of paper]
[She clocks the action put of the corner of her eye but doesn't turn to look at it]
Kassakira Petrovikan: I understand. What are you writing?
[Her phone goes off and she looks at it, sighing.]
Kassakira Petrovikan: Sorry, I have to take this.
[She picks up, and within moments, groaning into her hands]
Kassakira Petrovikan: Right. Okay. Great. I'll get onto it.
[She hangs up]
Clarkov Sahaidachny: You seem to be needed elsewhere. In that case I shall be going now. Kou and Promestein are meeting me in a minute.
[He readies himself to depart, nervously looking to see if any people are around]
Clarkov Sahaidachny: Please don’t let my presence here go public, I’m already enough of a shy wreck as it is, I don’t need the dysfunctional team of Star Breaker knowing I’m here. Anyway, goodbye. It was a pleasure.
Kassakira Petrovikan: Don't worry. Same here, see you again another time.
[He departs the scene, leaving Kassakira alone.]
Thus came to an end the meet-up. It was rather pleasant.

The Bauhaus Novel - Conversation Street: Season 2, Episode 4 - Landmine Purchase
[With the radio debacle over and done with, the intrepid trio are pondering over their cars when Jeremy revealed some suspect explosives from an infamous Polaris nation. This took place before the most recent Star Breaker team update in the timeline]
Jeremy Clarkson: Darkness has fallen and we've finally reached the bottom of the drive.
Richard Hammond: Phew, we made it.
[2 hours later]
Jeremy Clarkson: It's taken us 2 hours for us to reach the city limits at the top of it.
James May: Welcome to not-Leo Rugiet.
Jeremy Clarkson: Thank you. Here, there are no spare bedrooms so I've decided to try another new sort of tenting.
Richard Hammond: You know what?
Richard Hammond: We started this. I liked all 3 cars. I still do, but my conviction that the Capel is the best is now absolute, I just...
James May: I still find it slightly sort of...
Richard Hammond: What?
James May: There's still a slight hint of faux toff-ery about it.
Richard Hammond: Gah?!
James May: It suits you very well obviously, but the great thing about the Oniisan is it's just a finely honed driving instrument.
Richard Hammond: Well no I wo- okay, on the Quatfordring, yours is awesome.
James May: Don't mention the Quatfordring.
Richard Hammond: But that's what it's for James.
Richard Hammond: And Jeremy, your FM. It does look brilliant.
Jeremy Clarkson: There you go.
James May: It's a very competent motor car, the FMW.
Jeremy Clarkson: That's damning with fake praise that is May.
Jeremy Clarkson: Yours is a bit too Dimm & Vesce, yours is a bit too DeltaLand. They're both brilliant cars make no mistake.
Richard Hammond: What are you doing by the way?
Jeremy Clarkson: Landmines, they're mines, I brought them from Dalimbar. Ring our campsite with landmines and any 'aminal' that comes, [mimicks explosion], they will be- it will become a veneer.
[1 laying of landmines later]
Jeremy Clarkson: With my work done, and you two having drunk all the beer, we should turn in for the night.
[That night]
[An explosion is seen and heard in a flash of light]
Richard Hammond: What was that?!
Jeremy Clarkson: That was the sound of me saving your life.
[The next morning]
Richard Hammond: Our campsite looks like an abattoir.
[Hammond spots a body part on the ground]
Richard Hammond: What's this?
Richard Hammond: It's hairy.
Jeremy Clarkson: Lions do have hairy arms.
James May: They don't even have arms.
Jeremy Clarkson: They do! That was a lion who was coming to eat us! And my landmine saved our lives.
James May [sarcastically]: Look what we've got here Hammond, it's a lions foot.
[May picks up a human foot]
Richard Hammond: You've detonated an innocent person.
Jeremy Clarkson: Let's not get bogged down with who blew up...
Maybe we should get bogged down with the fact that someone has been detonated by Clarkson's landmine. Hopefully it wasn't anyone important...
We think we may need to run. Goodbye for now!

[On the way to the stadium where the match with Blue Bubble was to be played, the Star Breaker decided to get their minds off the shock hammering by Larxia and discuss some things that have been on their minds.]
[a dull silence fills the air]
.......
[the dull silence continues to fill the air]
................
Lits Fílaktri: A hill would be nice right about now.
.......................
Takumi Furman: Okay I admit it, this is boring.
Gankyou Kostova: Can something happen now?
Naho Sotirova: Hmm, why not pull over and check the internet?
Niko Balodis: You're the one who said people who believe everything they see on the internet are 'f-cking dumbasses'.
Naho Sotirova: I stand by that.
Diego Adamov: I fail to see the relevance Niko.
Patrick Manev: I'm pulling over then.
[The Star Breaker - Rugby version - pulled over and checked the news.]
Chihiro Freimanis: Um, so we're here.
Seiya Nikolov: The stadium is just down north then. That is helpful.
Hyouka Felteke [pops up from underneath Chara]: I need you to confirm something.
Chara Dreimanis: Hyouka, I'm not helping you with your experiments on 'body-melding'.
Embry Obalkanska: Not this again...
Hyouka Felteke: It's not that this time. It's a report concerning the Santo-Dominian team.
Mizore Savenko: That's the team with the insane reporter and overbearing bureaucrat.
Ongo Sidopliassova: *unintelligible* [translation: Could I see that please?]
Hyouka Felteke: Alright, here.
Ongo Sidopliassova: [slight gasp]
Machi Mihailova: Did you find something?
[Ongo shows everyone the news regarding the Zoran/Santos-Dominius match]
Harold McGavrilov V: Woah.
Ougi Ostrovske: Don't be daft, that didn't happen.
[Ongo facepalms and shakes his head in disbelief]
Yoshikage Kramlis: It clearly happened, it's right in front of you.
Naho Sotirova: You know it's real, stop lying.
Ougi Ostrovske: I have, I'm trying to get past it!
Naho Sotirova: You really make yourself look like an idiot sometimes.
Embry Obalkanska: It says here that the Santo-Dominian team were unable to enter the stadium because it was blocked by a mob of Zoranians. They're furious with Blubberman.
Chihiro Freimanis: I don't blame them. He's not very nice.
Harold McGavrilov V: He's the only reporter with any sense in this tournament.
[The rest of the team all glance at Harold]
Harold McGavrilov V: What?
Niko Balodis: Forget it.
Damian Haat: So the SDCSN are at the centre of this?
Mizore Savenko: Yeah.
Damian Haat: Understood Mizore.
Takumi Furman: Can we go now? I need to deliver this stuff.
Nagisa Ivanovaulait: Alright alright, we'll go.
Lits Filaktri: So ladies, when your 'phylactery' is broken...
Mizore Savenko: Oh no.
Origami Tsvetanova: I don't like where this is going.
Patrick Manev: Brace for verbal impact!
Lits Fílaktri: ...your usual comportment vanishes without a trace. With your husband's every motion, you writhe and moan in pleasure.
Diego Adamov: Objection! Don't go any further, this is only you who thinks this.
Lits Fílaktri: In this state, you can only think of your husban-
Richard Hammond: Please just stop talking completely now.
[Everyone looks over in surprise to find Hammond and May, returned at last from their stint on the radio]
Lits Fílaktri: I'm just trying to show the other girls that the enigmatic desire and pleasure are what the ultimate happiness consists of.
Richard Hammond: All you've accomplished is horrifying them and everyone else!
Ougi Ostrovske: Your studies will be why your breasts are so massive, I'm guessing.
Lits Fílaktri: My boobs are natural. I'm very proud of them.
Ougi Ostrovske: Go figure.
Lits Fílaktri: I'll tell you what the best 'spirit energy' is too.
Richard Hammond: Save it!
Galatea Sahaidachny: I don't mind talking about it. I've read something similar to that with my son.
Richard Hammond: ...Yeah... so, what's going on?
Origami Tsvetanova: Oh, hi you two. And... who is that?
Promestein Paskaleva: I'm Promestein. The one who gave the humans in my area fire.
Damian Haat: Just the humans?
Promestein Paskaleva: Yes. Their thirst for knowledge is incredible, so I introduced them to fire to help them along.
Stanislava Artemenko: How primitive are these people where you're from?!
Promestein Paskaleva: Very. But that doesn't mean anything to them. It's quite admirable really.
Lits Fílaktri: I like this lady already.
Krux Andersons: I hesitate to call that good news. Oh to hell with it, it's bad news.
James May: Oi, get in the cars you idle sods!
Takumi Furman: You heard him, come on.
Promestein Paskaleva: I'll tell you more about my studies while we're driving.
Lits Fílaktri: Sounds good! As for my studies, I'll have to just convince you all another time. It's not like I'll ever stop trying.
Promestein Paskaleva: Yes.
Almost Everyone Else Present: No!!!
Ongo Sidopliassova [at same time as the above]: *gibberish* [translation: No!!!]
[Kou 'Kibiki' Kovalenko heard all that. He shouldn't keep his student waiting. But now he truly knows why Star Breaker is the most dysfunctional team in the tournament. Let's face it, it's by quite a margin.]

The Bauhaus Novel - Conversation Street: Season 2, Episode 3 - That's Not Gone Well
[Welcome back to Bauhaus Radio!]
Jeremy Clarkson: Hello. Uh, is that me?
Richard Hammond: That's... that was slick.
[outside the radio room]
Sakuya Ileva: It's time for another of Jeremy's rubbish travel reports.
[inside the radio room]
James May: Look at that, look at that!
Jeremy Clarkson: Somebody, here we go. Somebody in a, it seems to be a 4x4, has jack-knifed while carrying a trailer. Now it's a 4x4, it's a good job it was, that's why he's still alive, lucky he didn't listen to the Fujansk on that one. 2 outer lanes of the motorway have the police out in them because they've been blocked by an idiot in an SUV who's managed to crash into his own trailer. Um and people are moving over far too soon which means the motorway network is not being fully utilized. You paid for it, drive right up to the crash.
Jeremy Clarkson: Use it, and then get your window down and tell the man exactly what you think of his driving.
Richard Hammond: Precisely.
Jeremy Clarkson: Oh no, what we've got here is a travel flash actually. Uh, my thank to Julian Kanzën, uh he tells us that in Leo Rugiet a caravan has come adrift of a car blocking the one lane, the police are in attendance. Police, are you armed? I hope they are, they can take it out and just shoot the drive-
Richard Hammond: Thank you very much, that's the travel with Jeremy Clarkson.
Jeremy Clarkson: [wheezing laugh]
[outside the radio room]
Dia Mondrushchenko: Even I can see the show is pretty bad.
Sekkekkyuu 'AE3803': And now it's about to get worse.
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: Hammond's mistimed a trip to the loo and while he's in there, a song's finished.
[inside the radio room... and the lavatory]
Jeremy Clarkson: Hello? Is that...? Is there somebody there? Is anybody there?
Richard Hammond [whispering]: Hurry up!
Richard Hammond: Come on!
Another Jingle: 2, 4, 6, 8, James May! [The JM Radio Jingle]
Richard Hammond: What?!
Another Jingle's Female Voice [same time as Male Voice] : ...Jaaammmeeesss Maaaaaaaaay.
Another Jingle's Male Voice [same time as Female Voice]: ......Jaaammmeeesss Maaaaaay.
[outside the radio room]
Sekkekkyuu 'AE3803': He's forgotten he's going out live.
[inside the radio room]
Jeremy Clarkson: Well he's ginger and he's Cambrian... -kay...
Richard Hammond: Okay...
[outside the radio room]
Siite Fineistje: And now they're upsetting the sports reporter Faust.
[inside the radio room]
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: 1-1 the latest score between the Beyblade teams of Star Breaker & Slavaria Cossack.
[Hammond turns on the jingle by accident (The JC Radio Jingle)]
The Jingle: I've been driving in my car listening to Jeremy Clarkson.
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem [over the jingle]: The final match in will be between the substitutes of each team, Damian's slightly obsessive older sister Lenae and the Genki Girl Stanislava.
Richard Hammond: Sorry! Sorry, that happens.
James May: 1-1, is that good? I don't understand.
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: My team has 1 point and they've lost 1 point to Slavaria, sir. It is Beyblade.
Richard Hammond: He's angry!
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: It's a game that has been played in Hertfordshire and Jammbo for over 300 years.
Richard Hammond: What, the same game?
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: Then you need to get the observers book of Beyblade which will tell you all the regulations you need to know and then you will be okay. And now-
[Hammond turns on the jingle, on purpose this time, to stop Faust from berating May like that]
Richard Hammond [faking]: Heh, sorry.
The Jingle: I've been driving in my car listening to Jeremy Clarkson.
Jeremy Clarkson: Worse still, my traffic system really isn't working out as planned. The cameras are not able to give enough detail so my reports are becoming... a little vague.
Richard Hammond: Jeremy, go.
Jeremy Clarkson: It's all completely hopeless! Everywhere I can see people in hatchbacks, the motorway- Marelitus is jammed up at junction 6, Divando is- don't use it! Don't use it, stay at work, be productive and buy a helicopter.
James May: It's not particularly helpful what you're telling them there.
Richard Hammond: No.
Jeremy Clarkson: I'll therefore decide to personalise my reports.
Damian Haat [on the radio]: Hello there.
Richard Hammond: Hello how are you?
Damian Haat [on the radio]: Um, bit fed up 'cause I can't work out where I'm supposed to be turning off the motorway or not. We're trying to get to the H&J-Blue Bubble match tonight!
Jeremy Clarkson: Where- where are you? So you're going?
Damian Haat [on the radio]: I'm going anti-clockwise.
Jeremy Clarkson: Anti-clockwise? You, my son, have had it.
Damian Haat [sarcastically, on the radio]: Oh thanks a lot.
Jeremy Clarkson: Just! I'm screwing it up.
[outside the radio room]
Siite Fineistje: With Jeremy's traffic system ruined, they're running out of things to say.
[inside the radio room]
James May: If you use a jet wash, should the bonger on each cycle go off at the end of the cycle or in the middle? If the bonger goes off at the end of the foamy brush cycle and you've only done the bonnet, you've had it.
Jeremy Clarkson: The switchboard's beginning to light up with angry listeners, one of them whom was called Galatea Sahaidachny.
Richard Hammond: Hello Galatea!
Galatea Sahaidachny [on the radio]: I came back from seeing Clarkov at 17:00 and what a load of rubbish this is and I think it's absolutely dreadful. I've been a listener to you three for a number of years. For god's sake, bring that old reporter back and all the rest of them. It's all a load of rubbish, thank you and goodnight!
[outside the radio room]
Sekkekkyuu 'AE3803': What's going on and why are they packing up?
Dia Mondrushchenko: With the locals ready to lynch them, they've decided to get out early.
[inside the radio room]
[It Has To Be This Way [Instrumental] plays]
Jeremy Clarkson: This is a 2 minute 55 second song. By the time it's over, our shows over, we could be- do you wanna walk through Leo Rugiet after the show we just did?!
James May: I've got the car round back.
Richard Hammond: I was thinking about the door.
[The trio flee the radio room past the other 5]
Jeremy Clarkson: By the time this is over, we can be...
James May: The car'll be round the back. Go go, no, just go down there, down the stairs!
Richard Hammond: Sorry!
Jeremy Clarkson: Down to here.
Richard Hammond: Run!
Richard Hammond: Sorry.
[The trio flee the radio station entirely]
[The song finishes]
We are not surprised it turned out this way, but would we have it any other way? No. Not at all.
This has been Bauhaus Radio with Conversation Street, time for us to replace the 'Radio' with 'Novel' once more.

The Bauhaus Novel - Conversation Street: Season 2, Episode 2 - The Radio Of Chat, in the Nation of Debate
[The continuation of Local Bumblers Radio. Let's find out what the disaster embracing team managed to do in control of one of Zoran's main radio stations]
[Hammond accidentally puts a tune on.]
Richard Hammond: That shouldn't have happened.
[Dia puts both hands on her cheeks on exasperation and because of finding it funny]
Richard Hammond: I'm gonna fade it out and then you're gonna talk.
[The music ends, an awkward silence ensues]
Jeremy Clarkson: Right, errrm...............
Richard Hammond: [wheezes in laughter]
Richard Hammond: Is that it? Is that your intro?
Richard Hammond: Can I just say good afternoon, this is still the local radio station.
[Outside the radio room]
Siite Fineistje: They aren't what you'd call slick, Sekkekkyuu.
Sekkekkyuu 'AE3803': Give them time!
[Inside the radio room]
Richard Hammond: Can I do the weather?
Richard Hammond: Uh, I've lost it. Have you got the headlines?
Jeremy Clarkson: Yeah.
Richard Hammond: I haven't got any.
Jeremy Clarkson: Yeah... no you do them.
Richard Hammond: I haven't got any headlines.
[Outside the radio room]
Sakuya Ileva: And the jingles Richard has brought along are dreadful.
[Inside the radio room]
[A jingle begins playing - The jingle Richard made]
Richard Hammond: See what you think of this one lads, it's great.
The Jingle: I've been driving in my car listening to Jeremy Clarkson.
[The jingle ends]
Jeremy Clarkson: How much did you spend making those?
Richard Hammond: 5 Deltas a pop.
Jeremy Clarkson: No matter, we will redeem ourselves with my new, brilliant and extremely complicated traffic system. What I've done here is I've fixed up, er, a link between the Zoranian road authorities so I can see all the traffic cameras from all the motorways in the region. Now what's happening is we've got an outside broadcast truck in Marelitus, that's firing its signal up to a satellite 22,000 miles in space back down to a truck in New Zoradia, they're filing it over to our radio station in Leo Rugiet and here we are in the studio looking, and if I can swing the camera round now we can get it off the main pictures, I can even zoom in.
[Outside the radio room]
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: With full control of the cameras Jeremy can reveal his big plan.
[Inside the radio room]
Jeremy Clarkson: Instead of telling you where the traffic jams are, I am going to give you the registration number of the car that has caused it.
[Outside the radio room]
Dia Mondrushchenko: So, he's not just reporting on the traffic, he's bossing it about.
[Inside the radio room]
Jeremy Clarkson: Now who's this exac- coming down in the van? You're leaving a 200 yard gap there, now close up!
[Outside the radio room]
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: While Jeremy is shouting at the traffic, James and Richard are getting to grips with the music.
[Inside the radio room]
James May: No don't tell me. As promised earlier it's 'Frightening Power of Nemesis'.
Richard Hammond: Oh you sprung that on me rather. Do you wanna do that again James?
James May: As promised earlier it's 'Frightening Power of Nemesis'.
Richard Hammond: Maybe just once more for me mate.
James May: Just play something else.
Richard Hammond: Oh alright.
[Rago's Theme 2 - Frightening Power of Nemesis plays]
Richard Hammond: Heheheh, yeah!
Richard Hammond: Yeah, you see. Um, I'd just like to apologise.
[Rather ominously, the Black Sun Cult leader and destroyer of other nation's sports teams Rago stands in the background]
Unfortunately at that moment the feed cut off again, albeit this time it was because Sekkekkyuu had managed to get lost within the halls of the radio station. Her sense of direction rivals James May's. Thus we depart once more.
Some say he wants you to draw him like one of your Markian nobles, and that he was born inside the explosion from a Dalimbari landmine. All we know is he's called the Stig! This is the Bauhaus Novel, we bid you all a temporary farewell.

[The following footage took place before the complete hammering dished out to Giovanniland. Good thing Chihiro caught the whole thing on tape.]
[Inside a courtroom, the Star Breaker crew were debating on the origins of the coffee Diego always seems to drink. The mood almost went the way of the coffee itself, that is, bitter.]
Ougi Ostrovske: Who even serves Diego coffee when he's on trial?
Diego Adamov: A coffee maker obviously. I don't see why this keeps being asked.
Gankyou Kostova: It's hardly obvious, Godot.
Chihiro Freimanis: Um guys, I don't think he goes by that anymore.
Krux Andersons: He'll always be that in my head.
Galatea Sahaidachny: Stuck in the past as always, Krux.
Takumi Furman: This is why Acronix is better than you.
Krux Andersons: I wish my brother was here, despite how insufferable he can be sometimes.
Diego Adamov: I'm moving this on.
Harold McGavrilov V: This reminds me of the relationship Clarkson, Hammond & May have.
Stanislava Artemenko: Vitriolic best buds?
Harold McGavrilov V: Yes.
Machi Mihailova: They're brothers, not friends Stani.
Hyouka Felteke: Stanislava said that only that Slavaria group were allowed to call here that.
Stanislava Artemenko: Yep, I did.
Embry Obalkanska: What's Slavaria?
Naho Sotirova: That time with the basement has really messed with your memory.
Seiya Nikolov: I had heard something about that. Didn't really believe it.
Embry Obalkanska: It happened. It was mental torture, having to essentially take care of a deranged basement monster that had my parents for lunch.
Yoshikage Kramlis: You mean 'cannibal'.
Lits Fílaktri: You mean 'Embry'.
Chara Dreimanis: Whatever!
Stanislava Artemenko: Anyway, Slavaria is the teenage friend/lovers group I'm in. There's 8 people in it, including Sahaidachny.
Machi Mihailova: Galatea?
Galatea Sahaidachny: She means my son.
Rococo Uradulov: Clarkov?!
Nagisa Ivanovaulait: I was not expecting him to have friends.
Stanislava Artemenko: Lovers too.
Hyouka Felteke: Slavaria Cossack is a self-chosen harem friend group in all but title.
Stanislava Artemenko: That's right! Clarkov is the newest member, we kind of dragged him in against his will but he's become used to us. You can guess why we took notice of that boy yourselves.
Damian Haat: But how the hell did you get him of all people to join your group?
Stanislava Artemenko: Me and the others - Natalya, Yevhen, Valentyna, Myroslav, Reichiru and Lyubomyr - wanted him to open up to us about what he was actually feeling underneath that ice-covered shell. I'm happy to say it worked.
Takumi Furman: Did it though? He's still pretty emotionless.
Origami Tsvetanova: I'm guessing you haven't heard of the Dandere trope.
Rococo Uradulov: The what trope?
Origami Tsvetanova: A person who appears emotionless and cold on the outside but is actually incredibly shy on the inside.
Stanislava Artemenko: Describes him well, so does Kuudere which actually does mean 'cold'. He's a mama's boy too. Rather clingy, and highly protective of the very few who have managed to get close to him.
Galatea Sahaidachny: I owe that to being his mentor alongside being his mum.
Naho Sotirova: How he got where he is now with your mentoring I'll never know.
Galatea Sahaidachny: I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult.
Naho Sotirova: It's an insult you thieving hack.
Galatea Sahaidachny: I stole nothing from Kou!
Damian Haat: Back off, Naho. I may be Jammbonevych's main rival, but I'm willing to defend Galatea in this case.
Stanislava Artemenko: That's because her son is your secret crush.
Damian Haat: The teasing isn't funny!
Stanislava Artemenko: Come on, it was hilarious!
Naho Sotirova: He's my main rival actually, so go fish.
Niko Balodis: I don't mean to be rude, but you're kind of a cheap rip-off.
Naho Sotirova: I was first. If anything, Jammbonevych is the rip-off.
Niko Balodis: Oh right.
Julian Kanzën: You really need to up your game Niko.
Origami Tsvetanova: Julian, you're near the top in almost everything you do, everyone needs to up their game compared to you.
Harold McGavrilov V: This is all starting to feel like something out of one of those manga or anime from back home.
Ougi Ostrovske: It does, and just like in many of those fictional tales, not all is as it seems right now.
Yoshikage Kramlis: You saying that reassures me that this is going to remain a normal conversation.
Chihiro Freimanis: I'm not sure.
Julian Kanzën: Woah, stop worrying Chihiro. Ougi's entire identity is built on lies so we should be fine.
Ougi Ostrovske: Is it though?
Patrick Manev: We all know it. Your misleading skills don't work on us.
[suddenly, Mizore appears from behind a wall, followed by Ongo.]
Seiya Nikolov: What the?!
Lits Fílaktri: I knew she'd be around here somewhere.
Mizore Savenko: I was listening to the whole thing.
Ongo Sidopliassova: *unintelligible gibberish*
Patrick Manev: I don't speak in random sounds, is Ongo confirming what Mizore said?
Ongo Sidopliassova: *nods*
Chara Dreimanis: But where did you come from?!
Mizore Savenko: Over there. [gestures to the wall nearby.] It's my 340th peeping spot.
Lits Fílaktri: Let me get this straight, you count the places you stalk from.
Mizore Savenko: I do.
Yoshikage Kramlis: There goes my hope of a normal and quiet conversation.
Nagisa Ivanovaulait: [glances at Ougi]
Ougi Ostrovske: Told you.
Diego Adamov: I need a coffee.
[A cup of coffee, Godot Blend #12, slides out of nowhere into Diego's hand on the desk. Ougi flashes a smug smirk to rival Clarkson.]
[With the coffee cup sliding in, the thought to be ended debate on where the team captain gets his coffee reignited, as a flabbergasted Kou 'Kibiki' Kovalenko watched from the distance trying to wrap his head around the inner workings of the team known as Star Breaker.]

The Bauhaus Novel - Conversation Street: Season 2, Episode 1 - Local Bumblers Radio
[Clarkson, Hammond and May arrive at the radio station exhausted and out of breath.]
Jeremy Clarkson: Ah, hello! If you've just started to view this, you are probably confused as to why we're totally out of breath.
Richard Hammond: Let me clear it up, me and James rigged a car as a prank on Jeremy, and it kind of went wrong.
Jeremy Clarkson: I spun into Quiyakaso and ran him over.
James May: It's his own fault, he should have paid attention to my warning.
Jeremy Clarkson: You're the one who rigged the car.
James May: Hammond done it too.
Richard Hammond: Don't bring me into this mate, it was your idea.
Siite Fineistje: Ah, you've arrived.
Sakuya Ileva: Hurry up, we've got not a moment to waste here.
Richard Hammond: Right, you two, come on.
[Hammond drags Clarkson and May into a planning meeting with 5 work-oriented members of the HNDRJ - Siite, Sakuya, Dia, Sekkekkyuu & Faust - where James suddenly asks a very random question.]
James May: When you're in the jet wash, should the 'bonger' go off half-way between the cycle or at the end?
Dia Mondrushchenko: Hmm.
Sakuya Ileva: Oh... [facepalms]
Richard Hammond: Oh and the show is going out live, which could be a problem given the loose connection between Jeremy's brain and mouth.
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: The average weekly audience is apparently about 250,000-300,000.
Jeremy Clarkson: Not all of them are in invalid carriages.
Richard Hammond: Urgh!
Siite Fineistje: Get this idea out of your head!
Jeremy Clarkson: What have I said?
Richard Hammond: You said 'invalid carriages'.
Jeremy Clarkson: Well what's the word I'm looking for?
Sekkekkyuu 'AE3803': You wanna make sure he doesn't say things like that this afternoon?
Richard Hammond: What the-?! Alright, now I want you to show me how I control this 8-foot gorilla! What do you suggest I do?
[Hours later]
Siite Fineistje: The meeting has rambled on for ages and in that time, nothing has been sorted.
Sekkekkyuu 'AE3803': I don't like that.
Jeremy Clarkson: I've got the idea of reading the news butt-naked!
Dia Mondrushchenko: Almost veered off the deep end there.
Richard Hammond: You know we've got just over an hour to go, right?
James May: I still don't understand any of this.
[The others all laugh and despair at the same time. Sekkekkyuu puts an empty bin over James' head.]
Richard Hammond: So, at quarter-past and quarter-to there are the headlines that James can read...
[Half-an-hour later.]
Richard Hammond: Jeremy has announced...
Dia Mondrushchenko: Rather worryingly.
Richard Hammond: ...that he's been working on a plan.
Jeremy Clarkson: Tonight, there won't be a single queue or jam in this region of Zoran because I'm doing the travel on this show.
[Sakuya and Faust glance nervous looks at each-other]
[25 minutes later.]
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: Zero hour is fast approaching.
Sakuya Ileva: Even Jeremy's got busy.
Sekkekkyuu 'AE3803': You got it Jeremy?
Jeremy Clarkson: Got it.
Siite Fineistje: Are you acquainted with the studio?
Richard Hammond: Yep.
Dia Mondrushchenko: James is mastering some of the station's other technical equipment.
[James is microwaving a pie for lunch]
Richard Hammond: We've got just a few minutes to go, hundreds of thousands of Denierians, Einherfellans, Hanita Gracseans, Nagaraningradians, Teralyans, Dilberians, Larxians and Cambrians are starting their journeys to the stadiums.
James May: Are those even the correct demonyms?
Richard Hammond: I don't know, I just said what came to mind.
Jeremy Clarkson: Richard, where's the turntable? For the records.
[Siite can't help but laugh at Jeremy's silly question.]
Richard Hammond: Jeremy... there is no turntable! It's 1422!
Sekkekkyuu 'AE3803': They're all expecting their slick and helpful drive-time show.
Richard Hammond: You've got your interview first as well, haven't you?
Jeremy Clarkson: Who? What? What interview?
Richard Hammond: Oh my god that's me.
Jeremy Clarkson: I haven't got the- nngh, James you can't just nick the sheets!
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: We are primed and ready.
Richard Hammond: Good luck everybody! Here we go.
[The intro to the radio station played, as the trio prepared to begin their show with the other 5 watching nervously.]
As for how the radio show went, you'll have to wait for a future episode. We departed the 8 as the show began so we don't know what happened after that point yet. Undoubtedly, it'll be a laugh at least. Regardless since we have left them, we must leave you as well with our traditional implausible facts.
Some say he knows why the chicken crossed the road, and that he actually has two brothers... they were more into music. All we know is he's called the Stig! We're The Bauhaus Novel with Conversation Street, Esferos' most bumbling network. Take care and goodbye!

The Bauhaus Novel - Conversation Street: Season 2, Episode 0 - Third Time [REDACTED]
[Clarkson walks into the tent to applause by the travelling Hertfordians and Jammbians, who quickly become bemused. Strangely, he is on his own. Where in the name of all that's holy are Hammond and May?!]
Jeremy Clarkson: Hello and welcome! I'm here in Zoran where there used to be a war going on, but I'm told it was permanently postponed. Now, you might be wondering why I'm the only one here. Well, I found out just last week having recovered from pneumonia, that in my illness both Hammond and May have been picked to join the Hertfordshire and Jammbo national rugby team.
[The audience gasps in relative unison]
Jeremy Clarkson: As you could imagine, I was very cross. But no matter! If they succeed, I can claim that I taught them how to do it because let's be honest, James would score a try in the wrong direction and as for Richard? Let's just say that teams are probably motivated well by sore winners on the other end.
[
Richard Hammond {out of shot in the distance}: No you didn't! Stop saying things to the audience that aren't true!]
Jeremy Clarkson: ...Anyway. Of course if we fail to win the title, I have a scope for laughing at them. It's a win-win for me.
[A few scattered laughs can be heard from some parts of the audience]
Jeremy Clarkson: Right now that that's over with I can now hand over to the Stig who has joined us for various requests in a way only the Stig can do. This is Conversation Street's 2nd appearance so call this Season 2. On the note of this being the second season, and this episode being more of a prologue, see you first episode, goodnight! Oh, and Mečislavs and Clarkov are coming to see the 3rd Rugby World Cup. Given how monumentally shy he is, if anyone sees Clarkov in public, take a picture and send it to 0801-CLOTS. You may get recognition.
The Stig: .. ... ... ..... .. .. ..... .. .. ..... ... ..... ....... ...... ......... .. .... (translation: he is not going to be happy if he finds out we're drawing public attention to him.)
[
James May {out of shot, having tripped into one of the abnormally large freezers the HNDRJ brought with them... which is full of freezing water}: Ah! My testicles have retreated!]

The Bauhaus Novel - Conversation Street - Episode 12: Esferiad Burst!
Jeremy Clarkson: Hello everyone and welcome to a new episode of The Bauhaus Novel.
James May: Indeed, welcome to what we hope will be a return to normal episodes. Well, as normal as us three can be.
Richard Hammond: Yes we shall, however now it's time to realize that there is no tent of chat, on the field of debate, just outside of Conversation Street!
The jingle we all know and love plays. This time, Clarkson drops an anvil on May to no effect. We are receiving a sense of Deja Vu here.
Richard Hammond: How did that not phase him?
Jeremy Clarkson: I don't know. It's completely baffling.
James May: You know I'm not really sure how myself.
Jeremy Clarkson: Well let's not get bogged down in whether James is even human, let's address the elephant in the room.
James May: Good point! So, Hammond, what do you mean there's no tent?
Richard Hammond: The HNJEK are rather unhappy with us for constantly missing deadlines and so they've decided to lay a penalty on this show.
Jeremy Clarkson: What kind of penalty?
Richard Hammond: Did none of you notice that we are outside doing this?
James May: Cock. I wondered why that was the case.
Richard Hammond: So basically we've been evicted from our news offices.
Jeremy Clarkson: Well I think we all know, in the audience, who is to blame for our predicament.
[In no time at all, the audience via a tally chart on the only piece of technology left to the boys showed that May was clearly the blamed.]
James May: Hang on a minute, why am I being blamed here?!
Jeremy Clarkson: Well, the athlete roster was 3 days late.
James May: You can't tell me that was the sole reason you have blamed me.
Jeremy Clarkson: To be honest we're only doing it because you're the slow one, so if we pin it on you, me & Hammond don't get any flack and the viewers at home would see common sense in the reason.
James May: I'm a scapegoat then.
Wholesome, if slightly confusing, online picture that the S.O.D.O.F.F contained.
Richard Hammond: On the subject, what are we going to cover in today's episode?
Jeremy Clarkson: Erm, that's a good question.
James May: I'm not really sure. But I got these signs.
Richard Hammond: Yes, those will help us.
James May: We hold them up and whoever can fit three TV hosts into their car can take us straight to that afterparty that the rest of the HNJEK, all 150+ athletes, are joining.
Jeremy Clarkson: Yes, yes! I forgot about that.
Richard Hammond: Mecislavs & Clarkov will be there too, the Tsar told me via email.
Jeremy Clarkson: Why didn't Jammbonevych Furutani email us?
Richard Hammond: You realise that boy is probably the most naturally nervous & shy person at this Esferiad outright, I'm guessing.
Jeremy Clarkson: My bad for not noticing sooner. Also, he is rather cold to people.
Richard Hammond: He's cold to pretty much anyone due to reasons mentioned earlier, but as Adaikesian President Salazar showed when he brought the topic of autism acceptance to the table, it is not impossible to get Clarkov to open up although it is a difficult & slow process.
Jeremy Clarkson: One thing's for sure, that boy no matter how naturally shy or nervous he is has no shame at all.
Richard Hammond: His special occasions drawer that sits adjacent to his Javelin Throw gold & silver medals tells all. Fanart, actual pictures of athletes, fanfiction, AB/DL, Age Regression, Yaoi/B.L., Bondage, a model train, memes, ships (not the sailing kind), the list goes on.
Jeremy Clarkson: No no wait, Yaoi/B.L.?!
Richard Hammond: I thought that was rather odd considering that the Prime Minister is as asexual as he is autistic which is very much so.
More stuff found in the S.O.D.O.F.F., this time Jammbonevych Furutani personally allowed us to show these ones. Miracles, though we're not sure they're good ones. Also, what did Enrico ruin?!
James May: Oi! Get out here you idle sods!
Richard Hammond: Coming James!
Jeremy Clarkson: It looks like that's all we have time for. If this isn't the final episode for the current Esferiad the next one will be. Now before we go I'd like to announce that Jammbonevych Furutani has told us three privately that he is thinking of having Hertfordshire & Jammbo lodge a bid to host the third Esferiad. Let's make it happen people, get to convincing him to go through with it. Oh and convince the Verkhovna Anglia while you're at it. This would need to be voted through.
James May: CLAAAAARKSOOOOOOON!!!
Jeremy Clarkson: Oh sh-t! Alright, have a skit we put together. Until next time everyone, goodbye!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oo18OQPrOI
The little skit that the trio put together. Ambitious but successful, not a phrase you hear about these three often. Or ever.

The Bauhaus Novel - Conversation Street - Episode 11: The Last Thing On My Phone
Tonight, Jeremy revels in Richard's failure,
Richard convinces Ongo to hoard the waffles,
and Clarkov shows us what he was wearing during Javelin.
The Conversation Street jingle plays for the first time in a while. Here we see a truly stunning scene in the natural environment of the HNJEK Karventhin offices. The Orangutano Clarksonius and the Hamsteridae Hammonder are witnessed attempting to murder each other with a machine gun & a pistol respectively. The Spanielis Mayli has a knife in his head, yet miraculously still lives. Also, hooray for recycling previous intros!
Continued from the previous episode.
Makoto Nankov: What is your most frequently used emoji?
Richard Hammond: I have never used an emoji ever.
Jeremy Clarkson: I don't use, ever, emojis.
Richard Hammond: Me neither, I never use them. It's just inappropriate! It just feels wrong to be using an emoji, I don't feel like I should. James, you have used emojis.
James May: I have. I've, er, only ever used the thumbs up one occasionally because you can do it in lots of different colours, it's very right on. So you can have it all the way from sort of pasty Northern Polaris to, you know, somebody from New Velka, you've got all shades of person.
Dio Burluka: What music are you listening to?
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: I've got the MBTI as Instrumental Music Collection by Natalya, er, some medieval music, two anime albums and... that's all off the same album, that's just my special occasions material.
Jeremy Clarkson: [confused and displeased grimace]
Richard Hammond: When did he get here?
James May: Not a clue, but his music taste is strange.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: I... thought I was alone.
Richard Hammond: You can stay if you want, since you're here now.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: [soft smile]
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: What was the last note you wrote to yourself?
Richard Hammond: "Tamara Davies died. Off continent, look back & do all we can. Tamara Davies still died. We are what we are in a time we can conceive and measure." Utterly meaningless...!
Jeremy Clarkson: "The Stig's Doll Guldurian cousin, something to tell us?" "Yes diarrhoea, c) pick on people in bins." I suspect it was- there was a story that The Stig's Doll Guldurian cousin was joining the Esferiad. They got a photograph of maybe a sign-up document as the Postcard Online called it, they'll have gone 'something to tell us Doll Guldur Stig?' and it would hold up a sign saying 'Yeah, I've got diarrhoea. Just got a bit of a bloated engine, I'm going to have a big sh-t in a minute'. F-cking Postcard Online.
The Stig: ... .... ...... ...... .. ... ..... [Translation: How many unread emails do you have?]
Richard Hammond: I've got just 2.
Jeremy Clarkson: Here's my inbox.
Richard Hammond: That's a lot of unread.
Jeremy Clarkson: All of them are unread. So if you're watching this Faust Ḩarełeudeiem, Karen Kovalenko, Suu Strashilova, Mizore Savenko, Enrico Priedītis, Armando Slobodyan, Chara Dreimanis whoever you are, Kou Kovalchuk, Embry Balkanska, Ongo Sidopliassova, Shirou Fomenko, Lemres Romanov, Sentinel Putniņš, Ryo D. Lait, Mečislavs Deben: unread!
[Clarkson & Hammond burst into laughter]
Richard Hammond: Yeah you should probably try a bit harder there.
Jeremy Clarkson: Oooh- that's a bit embarrassing. [still laughing during sentence]
Yeah, we didn't make an episode yesterday, again, but we do have a habit of this now. Perhaps we should try and make more time to do these. Besides, some say that

The Bauhaus Novel - Conversation Street - Episode 10: Not While There's Still Jelly Coursing Through These Veins! (
Richard Hammond: What...)
Tonight, Jeremy revels in Richard's failure,
Richard convinces Ongo to hoard the waffles,
and James shows us the last thing on his phone.
The Conversation Street jingle plays for the first time in a while. Here we see a truly stunning scene in the natural environment of the HNJEK Karventhin offices. The Orangutano Clarksonius and the Hamsteridae Hammonder are witnessed attempting to murder each other with a machine gun & a pistol respectively. The Spanielis Mayli has a knife in his head, yet miraculously still lives.
* = bad grammar on purpose to convey failure to pause in between saying words
Richard Hammond: I'mRichardHammond.*
Jeremy Clarkson: I'm Jeremy Clarkson.
James May: And this is 'The Last Thing On My Phone'.
James May: That's the name of the segment.
What Was The Last Thing On Your Phone?
John Kramer: So if you guys could look right into this camera here in the middle.
Richard Hammond: [disturbingly focused]
Rantaro Antonenko: What was the last photo you took?
Jeremy Clarkson: It's my penis.
James May: It's- it's my own trousers.
Richard Hammond: Well this is your own...
Jeremy Clarkson: I don't actually...
Richard Hammond: Am I allowed to show that?
Jeremy Clarkson: That's something from our BBEK protest, it's our bus handcuff scene, it's he and James... touching each other.
Jack Borisov: What was the last video you watched?
Jeremy Clarkson: Okay it's... ThouPorn, that's a ThouPorn, what was it?
Jeremy Clarkson: Oh god really? You w- oh.
Jeremy Clarkson: Nobody wants to see that!
Naho Sotirova: What was the last thing you Googolplerxed?
James May: Mine was Neimz.co.hj, trying to change the name of my email account, that's interesting isn't it? [rhetorical sarcasm]
Richard Hammond: I was looking for the Reçueçn embassy (in Cambria).
James May: Wh- n- everybody knows that.
Jeremy Clarkson: Wai- no, you've seriously had to Googolplerx where the Reçueçn embassy is?!
Richard Hammond: Do you wanna know what's even funnier?
Richard Hammond: I didn't find it. I was on a motorcycle, I had to stop and just park it and got in a taxi and went 150 yards to it. I don't live in Great Parndon!
James May: I also looked at the weather in Easfolk 'cause Hammond and I have to go there in a week.
Jeremy Clarkson: Is it Hertfordshire and Jammbo?
Richard Hammond: It's snowing.
Jeremy Clarkson: Is it autumn?
Jeremy Clarkson: It's snowing.
Richard Hammond: It's snowing!
Jeremy Clarkson: Only he'd look that up.
Rococo Uradulov: What was your last text message?
Richard Hammond: It's my parole officer.
Jeremy Clarkson: Mine is from my son, "quite good actually".
James May: Mine was "f-ck off".
Richard Hammond: Can't tell you what mine was 'cause you'll just think I'm a f-cking twat.
Jeremy Clarkson: "Your helicopter is grounded this week", which means you have to go to Easfolk in your car. Hahaha.
Tanukichi Osis: How many alarms do you have set?
Richard Hammond: 06:17, 06:19, 06:20. I've got Fashion, Moving On & Kaleidoscope of Happiness.
Jeremy Clarkson: Well my times are 5:00, 5:17, 5:30, 5:45, 6:00, 6:10, 6:30, 6:45, 7:00, 18:00, 18:58 & 19:55.
Richard Hammond: Why have you left them all on?
Jeremy Clarkson: I might need an alarm at 19:55!
Richard Hammond: Well you can always set another one!
James May: I've got 07:01, 18:03 & 21:01. They are tagged Another Beginning, Cygnus & Get Up, F-ckface.
Will be continued in the next episode. Cheerio chaps!
Yeah, we didn't make an episode yesterday, we had no time as Clarkson & May were too busy laughing at Hammond's dismal failure to win gold for the second time. With all that being said in typical "I'll-blow-up-your-house-if-you-lose-this-bet" fervour, it is time to end. Of course we'll be back, we always are. You can never get rid of us! Well, unless John Kramer traps us or something. Now some say we thought Fujai was a hippie documentary, and that our internal organs are made from steel & ice. All we know is, we turned all your air conditioners to the lowest setting fellow Esferiad bodies!

The Bauhaus Novel - Conversation Street - Episode 9: That Was Unexpected
Tonight, Vector passes out,
Richard drives like Takumi Furman,
and something unexpectedly wholesome appears in the stolen S.O.D.O.F.F. collection.
Blah blah blah, we know we're way behind schedule, the hosts aren't back. The entire news show is all but ruined at this point but we don't give a damn! It's still happening and we are not stopping anytime soon. You know the drill, just cross your fingers and hope the boys come back. [off screen -
John Kramer: "WHERE ARE YOU, YOU TRIO OF MIDDLE AGED FU---!"] ...Well then. Oh, hang on...
Jeremy Clarkson: We're back!!!
Richard Hammond: Yes we are.
James May: And we have a great way to re-introduce ourselves after our time away.
Richard Hammond: Ladies and gentlemen, Captain Slow & a shaved ape there.
Richard Hammond: No no thanks, really thanks lads for wasting 9 minutes of my life.
James May: No no I'll tell you something else really interesting...
Richard Hammond: Not with Ongo's sofa oar sticking through your neck you won't.
James May: No seriously! During the war...
Richard Hammond: Oh god no, not 'James May On The War'!
Richard Hammond: Please.
The appropriate reaction to 'James May On The War'. No one wants to be put through that. The one furthest to the left is the one who owns the 'sofa oar' that Hammond mentioned.
An extra news piece because we somehow have nothing better to do with our time. With that being said, it is time to end. Some say the formula for medal winning is written on each of our nose hairs, and that we are illegal in 11 different countries All we know is, we're the HNJEK. Goodnight. [falls asleep]

The Bauhaus Novel - Conversation Street - Episode 8: WANTED = Clarkson, Hammond & May
Yeah, Clarkson, Hammond & May still haven't returned. Who among the audience bets that they've been arrested by local authorities? We're beginning to think they were. So because of this, we have no hosts. That's why the format introduced last episode will stay for the foreseeable future and yes, that includes our sneaky reveal of the patented Special Occasions Drawer of Fabled Fields (SOD OFF). This will last until they return, or until a creepy organ sound effect plays. That heralds Clarkov arriving out of nowhere. It also means no intriguing intros, so deal with it!
Also, we know we're way behind with this, cut us some slack.
Day 2 of the S.O.D.O.F.F. reveals. Clarkov will be fuming, but he's too shy and too intelligent to try and stop us. Trust us, he and we both know how the internet works. [OOC: Actual pictures, mostly found on DeviantArt, that the asexual boy behind H&J loves.]

The Bauhaus Novel - Conversation Street - Episode 7: Autismo van Meeting
Well this is awkward. Not only has Mecislavs gone to the arenas to check up on the athletes (how's that for connecting with our people?) but Clarkov has blatantly refused to come on if it means he is on his own. Then again, even if Adaikesian President Luke Salazar miraculously got the 17-year-old, nearly 18-year-old, Prime Minister to open up, Jammbonevych Furutani is still the same shy cinnamon roll of a boy that Hertfordshire & Jammbo elected back in 1419. Bet he wasn't expecting that when it happened.
It took ages for Clarkov to finally start feeling comfortable, but once Salazar prized him open specifically with talk about the autistic acceptance scene in Hertfordshire & Jammbo he slowly began to warm up to the United Adaikes President, who promised to send an elite team of personality specialists & the like to see just how the number one country for autism acceptance & general neurodivergence acceptance does things. Clarkov takes immense pride in being autistic, amplified due to the time he was relentlessly bullied in secondary school for being autistic, so Luke pressed the right buttons there.
Now, don't tell him, but we've rummaged through Clarkov's special occasions drawer of online pictures that he looks at when he wishes to either calm down or enjoy himself. We do not apologize for the potential weirdness in these whatsoever, but think of it this way - not even Tsar Mečislavs is allowed to look through them. He is very private.
Online pictures we found in Clarkov's special occasions drawer - pictures of athletes, fanfics of athletes, AB/DL, age regression, fan-made drawings of athletes, memes, etc. were found - he hopes to be able to do these himself one day. Creators are unknown. Except for picture 6, the athletes themselves took that.
So with Clarkson, Hammond & May still not back after their frankly doomed protest, we thought we'd catch up on something and give you all a ranking of how our athletes performed day by day, starting with Day 1 below. Best to worst, from top to bottom based on position and how much they punched above their weight. Enjoy and an early goodbye before the late goodbye.
Day 1 - Athlete Rankings

Dio Burluka: You thought this report would be by the HNJEK, but it was me Dio! Oh and Faust is here too.
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: I'm only here because you told me that this was what I had to do, that it was my mission.
Dio Burluka: Frankly after winning gold the way we did, we deserve to be able to do this.
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: Not sure who really cares but alright. Either way, the past, present and future are all held in my hands. This time, I will show you the future, the brilliant future that will be born, thanks to my hosting efforts aided by the greatest partner in existence, Twisted Tempo.
Dio Burluka: There you go again with that Tempo thing. We know it exists.
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: Some say that he knows 2 facts about the JoJo's and both of them are wrong, and that because Naho Sotirova rigged a phone vote, her mentor Kou now owns the rugby trophy I won... and all the players. All we know is, she likes that man to a fault.
Dio Burluka: Faust, that was my job!
Faust Ḩarełeudeiem: Need me to show you that Rugby World Cup I trophy?

The Bauhaus Novel - Conversation Street - Episode 6: Ascendance Jammbo
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: ... [looks emotionless & cold, is actually very nervous & shy... & cold]
Mečislavs Deben: Clarkov, we're live.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: Oh! Er, h-hi, welcome to this episode of The, erm, Bauhaus Novel which is named after the half of Hertfordshire & Jammbo where me & the Tsar hail from.
Mečislavs Deben: Yes that's right, you thought there wouldn't be an episode 6 but it was us! So, Jammbonevych, care to do the honours? I know how much you love this.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: Sure, cheers. It is now time to put out the fire of agreement, on the car bomb of debate, and cordon away the horrific scene from social interaction on Conversation Street.
The ever lovable Conversation Street jingle plays while Hammond spews out a liquid like some kind of fountain
or a gentleman's pork sword.Mečislavs Deben: Sorry. Hah, eh, so sorry.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: That's the best thing that's going to come out of this show.
Mečislavs Deben: Hahahahaaa, ouch! Also, Furutani, how dirty is your mind?!
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: I see no issue here.
Mečislavs Deben: Don't think I didn't notice your little sly edit on the screen, I have access to that too you know.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: Like I said, I see no issue here. It's not like it hinders me from my duty as Prime Minister.
Mečislavs Deben: Moving on!
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: Right, now you may be wandering why the Tsar & Prime Minister have commandeered this series out of nowhere. Well, I wanted to have a go at hosting it, so there's your answer.
Mečislavs Deben: I'm intrigued as to what the trio had to go and do for them to try and fail (because of us two) to cancel episode 6.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: Actually thanks to Kramer we have live camera footage of the good (Hammond), the bad (Clarkson) & the slow (May) and we can reveal what exactly they're getting up to.
Mečislavs Deben: This ought to be good.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: It better be.
(The scene switches from the news room to somewhere in Karventhin, where the ruling duo are reporting from)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Mečislavs Deben: This is Karventhin Train Station at rush hour and well they've handcuffed themselves to a bus.
Jeremy Clarkson: False statistics ruin 48 events a week!
Richard Hammond: BBEK burns planets!
Jeremy Clarkson: Utter rubbish coming out of the back of that group is enough to fill the Great Pacific Ocean every 3 weeks!
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: So they're angry at the BBEK for... reasons.
Mečislavs Deben: Probably because the BBEK claimed they would be average.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: Ah yes, to be honest I'm rather miffed about that as well.
Mečislavs Deben: Petrovikan probably is too, but I don't know.
Jeremy Clarkson: Dalimbari landmines!
James May: When do we want it?!
Richard Hammond: As soon as we can arrange easy finance!
Jeremy Clarkson: Well as soon as the signatures...
Mečislavs Deben: Yeah, we have no hope of receiving those. Dalimbar probably doesn't even consider our land as a real place. It's beyond heathen level.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: National self-deprecation, I love it.
Mečislavs Deben: You know you're weird right?
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: Yes, I'm weird and I'm proud of that.
Mečislavs Deben: OK.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: Oh, looks like they've chained themselves to another bus that conveniently blocked them from view.
Jeremy Clarkson: My cold dead fingers will have to be prized from this bus!
James May: The only way I'm leaving this bus is without this arm.
Richard Hammond: Once in a man's life...
James May: You've just got to do the right thing.
Jeremy Clarkson: You've got to stand up and say 'what a load of...'
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(The scene switches back to the news room to somewhere in Karventhin, where the ruling duo are reporting from)
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: I draw attention to the fuzzy handcuffs. I'm guessing they came out of James' dungeon?
Mečislavs Deben: They were probably from his special occasions drawer.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: Along with leather tights, a belt, a cowboy hat, a tin of spam, a carbon-fibre-ended shoe horn & a 16 year old Bovril beef drink with added slippery egg white. Oh and a model train for good measure.
Mečislavs Deben: I thought that was your drawer?
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: What? No!
Mečislavs Deben: Wait really?
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: No, mine is the one full of the piles of cartoon & anime style AB/DL & Age Regression drawings I look at online in my free time. I do have a model train though.
Mečislavs Deben: I wish I hadn't asked.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: Anyhow, would you like to talk about the blunders in our names that the Larxian reporter made?
Mečislavs Deben: Wait, you actually asked that? I have to say great job on improving your confidence in asserting what you want.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: I, er... ehm... appreciate it.
Mečislavs Deben: Take your time, process what happened.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: [sighs] Cheers Deben. I do try.
Mečislavs Deben: You're doing a fine job. We both know that an important part of being the Hertfordian/Jammbian Prime Minister is self-improvement.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: That we do.
Mečislavs Deben: Back to the street of conversation, we turned down Review Avenue earlier, I would not like to talk about it. That Mario man has royally peeved me off and I do not mean that as a pun.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: In that case then...
Mečislavs Deben: Are you worried about the leader meet-up?
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: Yeah to be honest I am. I'm already atrocious around people in general unless I've warmed up to them which only you, my family and maybe a few HNJEK athletes and government staff can lay claim to. I also want to go so I can prove myself as someone worthy of both commanding a nation and representing it in the Esferiad.
Mečislavs Deben: I know from experience how hard it is to get you to warm up to someone. I imagine you at maximum warmness to be clingy and even yandere-esque to that one person you warm up to in that manner. Also, you won gold last time so you have nothing to worry about on the Esferiad front okay. You and me both earned our place in the HNJEK fairly, don't let anyone tell you or me otherwise.
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: Alright, I see. That is correct, we did earn our places here and I won't let that be forgotten. I vow to perform the best I can and aim for Javelin Throw gold once more. On the other point, that would be a realistic depiction of me if such a situation ever arose, I do think. I'm the sort of guy who will be completely cold to everyone but then super clingy to one specific person, whether it be mentor figure, crush, even a fellow national leader though the latter has a chance of next to zero. Not sure on the yandere-esque part as you're claiming though.
Mečislavs Deben: Shall we return to the topic?
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: Yes we shall. I already struggle astronomically with people in general. It's worse this time round because it is a meet-up of national leaders. Petrovikan, Dominic, Carnet, Salazar, Nazhim, Giovanni, freaking Marcarius(!) and more are all going to be there.
Mečislavs Deben: It's okay Furutani, I'll help you get accustomed to the dignitaries and then leave you to your own devices. We can talk about Conversation Street, how other countries are doing with autism acceptance, personality theory and all that. Does that sound good?
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: Cheers, I know I don't ever say this but this sort of thing does mean a lot to me.
Mečislavs Deben: Anytime, it's the least I could do as His Majesty the Tsar of Hertfordshire & Jammbo. Now then, shall we go?
Clarkov Jammbonevych Furutani: Yeah, let me just quickly put the event schedule for Day 5 up. We can let Kramer perform the athlete analysis later in the events.

As for the trio of hosts, they ended up running away. Perhaps they should leave protests to the professionals. Now we say goodbye. Some say we are dead but the Tsar is too afraid to tell us, and that we can open a portable news station with our testes. All we know is, we're going to the Verkhovna Anglia now to look in Clarkov's special occasions drawer and that we're the HNJEK. Goodnight!

The Bauhaus Novel - Conversation Street - Episode 5: Science Corner
Jeremy Clarkson: Hello and welcome to the 5th episode of The Bauhaus Novel and we have been working to provide possibly the most difficult episode to produce in this entire stations existence.
Richard Hammond: Anyway, shut up, because now it is time to plant a bouquet of chat, following a collision of debate, outside the primary school on Conversation Street.
The Conversation Street jingle plays as May shoots an arrow into Hammond's arm, much to his displeasure.
James May: Anyway, this episode will be focusing on athlete performance from days 1, 2 and 3.
Jeremy Clarkson: No James that's the next episode.
Jeremy Clarkson: Yes James, it is. This episode is actually not going to feature us two for very long.
Jeremy Clarkson: If you'll remember, the three of us decided that we also wanted to compile how above or below expectations our HNJEK athletes have performed and see who really is the most impressive.
James May: Ah yes, I remember now. We couldn't get it done in time, so this current episode had to be released now instead of before Day 3's events. That also means that we'll be unleashing day 3's event schedule on the viewers even though they already know what happened.
Jeremy Clarkson: Yeah but who's going to complain? I mean, how hard can it be?
Richard Hammond: Don't say that!
Jeremy Clarkson: So, over now to Richard Hammond in the Science Corner.
James May: I'd like to clarify as the voice of sensibleness here that the following content is only of day 1 and of dubious quality and has some errors related to leaving things that should have been cut out in.
Artistic Swimming
Spoiler200m Freestyle Swimming
Individual Archery
Equestrian Individual Dressage
One-Person Dinghy Sailing
10m Air Pistol Shooting
Individual Taekwondo
Water Polo
Baseball
Basketball
Beach Volleyball
Richard Hammond: Thank you Jeremy, now this is really quite simple. Okay, understeer works like this: you drive down the road, you turn the wheel but the car goes straight on, crashes into a tree and you die. Oversteer works like this: you drive down the same bit of road, turn the wheel but the back of the car flips round and you go off the road, crash into a tree and you die. Now oversteer is best because you don't see the tree that kills you.
Jeremy Clarkson: Hammond. What was that?
Richard Hammond: That was important consumer advice.
James May: To be fair he did put the actual Science Corner content on the screen so viewers can look at that while he tells us about what made his career successful.
Richard Hammond: Yes. Hahahaha. [Sarcastic fake laugh]
Jeremy Clarkson: Yes, now I'll end if I may by showing not just the events of Day 4 but also the events of Day 3.
Richard Hammond: We will not be showing rank comparisons of Day 2 because we can't be bothered. Day 3 may be cancelled too depending on the time we have as we have something very important to do later.
Jeremy Clarkson: Yes we do so there will be no episode 6.
James May: Why don't we just do that when we come back?
Jeremy Clarkson: Because I just said there wouldn't be one.
Richard Hammond: So this is a dictatorship now.
James May: You say that as if it hasn't always been a dictatorship.
Jeremy Clarkson: Oh it doesn't matter. Goodnight everyone!

Well if that does happen, someone is getting a grievous injury induced by karma or whatever John tries to justify himself with. Episode 6 will not go ahead, unless a miracle occurs, so we will decommission for the day. Some say that if you insult our reporting, Hammond will headbutt you in the chest, and that if you tune your radio to 666 FM you can actually hear our thoughts. All we know is, we're the HNJEK. See you next time, goodnight!

The Bauhaus Novel - Conversation Street - Episode 4: Character Roster
The Conversation Street jingle plays while a silhouette image shows Hammond hitting Clarkson over the head with a bottle. Clarkson later said "that really hurt, just to be absolutely clear with you that really really hurt". Yeah, the intro froze before the good bit, sorry.
Jeremy Clarkson: Hello and welcome to a special edition of The Bauhaus Novel. Actually, hang on, why is it special?
James May: It's special because you two won't be around to be in it.
Richard Hammond: Hang on, what?
Jeremy Clarkson: James, is there any way in which we can help?
James May: I know how you can help me, why don't you two go away?
Richard Hammond: Oooooo, alright.
Jeremy Clarkson: Alright fine, we'll leave you to it.
Jeremy & Richard eventually leave James to it, but not before mucking about with a car's onboard camera. Yeah, we're filming this one outside.
James May: Alright, now that we're alone viewers, it's good news! I have managed to get the HNJEK character roster (it's actually athlete roster but who cares?) ready for publication. Admittedly, the images proved much too large for the station to take originally so the quality is a bit ham-fisted. Now who's ready to see it, actually don't answer that I'm sure you all are. So this is goodbye from me but I'll still be here if any questions come through the fax machine. In the next episode, we shall be introducing a brand new feature headed by Richard Hammond. Take care, goodbye.
So May got his alone time in the end, as brief as it was because Clarkson & Hammond burst in to mock him for his slowness and need to put 6 hour pre-flight checks on everything. Either way, time to depart for the time being. Some say we know why Blue Bubble have utterly dominated this Esferiad so far... but we don't, and that we also know how Arifiyyah have managed to report from our Prime Minister... but again we don't. All we know is, we're the HNJEK and we bid you farewell.
2nd World Cup of Football [rosters, roleplay, results]

The host nation of the 1422 Football World Cup
Confederal Kingdom of Hertfordshire and Jammbo
National Information - Under The Light Microscope
Hertfordshire and Jammbo is a mostly ice-covered somewhat elevated nation that lies within the south-eastern corner of Andolia. It borders the Great Pacific Ocean to the south and east, and Zastad to the west. There is no nation that borders it to the north, the closest due in that magnetic direction being Overthinkers. With 3,203,688 citizens living in an area of 129,181mi2 Hertfordshire and Jammbo, or Hertfordia as it is informally known, is the third least populated country on the continent ahead of Irador and Cyrylic and the 10th least populated in Esferos outright. It also has a population density of 9.6 people/km2 as a result.
A map of the southern continent Andolia. Hertfordshire & Jammbo exists within the time-zones of +0 (Andolian Meridian Time) & +1 (Hertfordian Standard Time).
National Information - Under The Electron Microscope
Hertfordshire and Jammbo has a total of 3 capitals all focused in the northern regions of the country. The executive capital and only city Great Parndon in Greater Parndon, the legislative capital Hoddesdon in Hoddesdonshire and the judicial capital Maidenhall are the three headquarters from where the clockwork of the land carries on. There are ~47 different counties, each with their own local government and county capital, the latter with the exception of Tadmartonshire, on the western coast of Lake Waveney, which is home to a solitary village of 300 people and nothing else.

National Information - Away From The Microscope
As may have been guessed, Hertfordshire and Jammbo is a confederal kingdom. Founded as such after a peace deal between the Hertfordians and the Jammbonians ended the Hertmeria Wars, it established the system of 'confederal parliamentary elective monarchy'. The Tsar/Tsaress is elected once every 10 years, while the Prime Minister is elected once every 5 years. The current Tsar is Mečislavs Deben, due to contest re-election in 1431 and the current Prime Minister is Clarkov Sahaidachny who is set to attempt a push for a second term in the 1424 general elections. The monarch has powers greater than that of a constitutional monarch, but lesser than that of an absolute monarch.
Tsar Mečislavs Deben I and Prime Minister Clarkov J. Sahaidachny (he usually wears rectangular glasses). Rather infamously, these two both won medals in the Esferiad.
