Robin Hood Nutter on Radio Clyde
Oct. 5th, 2006 08:18 amI did an interview for Radio Clyde in Glasgow this morning, where they kept billing me as "the world's number one Robin Hood nutter". It's things like that which make me want to raze my website to the ground.
On the other hand, I think I owned the interview. It will be interesting to find out what they do in editing, because I kept talking about the Robin Hood play-game tradition in Scotland, the Edinburgh riots of 1561, the early Robin Hood historians all being Scottish and things like that.
Of course, I was also asked whether Errol Flynn's arrow was bigger than Jason Connery's. To which I said, that I knew some Jason Connery fans that would bristle at the suggestion, but yeah it probably was.
"Did you ever dress up as Robin Hood?"
"Yeah, when I was 10 for Halloween. I went as Mr. Spock the year before."
So, I suspect my attempts at intelligent discourse probably fell on deaf ears -- and will probably be cut in favour of nob gags.
Oh well, it will give the neds something to titter about.
It's supposed to air on Monday morning, if you've got some morbid curiosity for it.

P.S.: I spend a lot of time making an intelligent site that's used as a resource for teachers and students around the world. They make dick jokes. And the sad fact is they've got a better life than I have.
