Lesbian bingo

[strange_complex]

I went on a lovely excursion today with glitzfrau to Hebden Bridge: allegedly, the lesbian hub of Britain.

>now I have a copy of Who On Earth Is Tom Baker?

Ooh, it's brilliant! He's as mad as toast.

[strange_complex]

Don't we all? *hee* I'm pretty sure they're genuine Seventies originals, actually - and I got them for the princely sum of £3 from a stall at the festival! Win.

Tree-planting? Bless. That sounds very Hebden.

And it sounds like you would have fared well in our game of lesbian bingo!

I didn't know you didn't have a copy of it already, or I'd have given you the unsigned one of mine! [Obviously, I'm keeping the signed one myself!] It's utterly marvellous, in a bonkers-mad-in-the-nut sort of way. His description of a circle jerk had me in near tears of laughter! :D

[strange_complex]

Well, thanks for the thought anyway. I'm sure you'll hear what I think of it in these here pages in due course - but I have a bunch of other stuff queuing up to be read first that will have to take priority.

[captainlucy]

Well, it will be something to look forward to! :)

I've not been to Heben Bridge in ages- the last time was for a Goff picnic which got rained off after half-an-hour and we all ended up in the pub instead.

I seem to recall there being a Chinese takeaway there called "Hu Man" which caused some mirth- I shudder toi think what they put in their Sweet 7 Sour speacial..

Who on Earth is a good read, but our Tom leaves out a couple of things which one would have thought he would have mentioned. I won't say what they are in case it spoils your enjoyment..

[strange_complex]

Yes, I've already gathered that from reviews. But hey, it's autobiography - every bit as much about putting a carefully-selected version of oneself on public display as blogging... ;-)

I got the audio version of it a while back - hilarious!

[strange_complex]

Hmm - though your comments about the differences between the textual and audio versions go rather to the root of my reasons for being wary about reading it. Anyway, I'm going to leave doing so for a while, in the hope that I'll have achieved a clearer cognitive separation between him and the Fourth Doctor by the time I get round to it.

[damien_mocata]

You mean there will actually be a separation between him and the doctor? I think to anyone who wasnt brought up on the new series exclusively, he'll always be Dr Who, even to people who didnt like the show.

Why do I have the idea for a survey of people just to see if that point would be valid now...
