Any "Thin He Was…" fans interested in a themed Oxford pub-crawl?

[daveseck]

Hi everyone. I’m a massive fan of Robert’s book “Thin He Was And Filthy Haired”, as well as Red Dwarf of course. A few years ago I moved to Oxford, and only just recently thought it might be fun to go through the book and try to find the various places mentioned, and then try to link them all together into a sort of pub-crawl with any other like-minded Dwarfers who also love Robert’s book. Just thinking aloud at the moment – anyone at all interested in this idea?

Assuming I can avoid bumping into my ex-girlfriend, I actually kind of quite like that idea. Although not having read the book (I really should do)… what places are mentioned?

You really should, Seb. My favourite autobiography, no question.

Any autobiography that begins with the author being called a prick by a bloke called Jeff has just got to be made of win.

This and The Man on Platform 5 are the only two books of Robs I really enjoyed.

And Rubber Mask, surely?

Well,we’ve *all* enjoyed the rubber mask, but we did promise not to talk about that here.

I’m ashamed to admit I’ve never read it, despite owning it for a very long time :-[

It’s good, even the bits where he’s clearly making it all up (or lying).

Well worth the fiver for the still-being-updated audiobook. :) https://audioboo.fm/channel/rubbermask

I’m sort of surprised there has never been an attempt to do a G&T Monopoly board pub crawl.

There was a BTLi one years ago. We managed two pubs.

I remember reading about the Smegazine’s Monopoly board pub crawl (with the giant butterflies) years ago.

Just thought I’d mention it.
