Just thought I'd let y'all know there is a two page interview with Robert in the latest Fortean Times - "The Mythologist of Brentford". Nice photo! Smiling

It might not be in the shops yet - I'm a subscriber - it's FT248, the one with a flying snake attacking a train on the cover! Laughing out loud

Re: Robert in Fortean Times

Fortean subscriber here and attend their Unconventions, it would be quite something to see Robert at one giving a spoof talk on the mythology of Brentford!

Is this a totally dumb idea or just some wishful thinking on my part, Uncon is a strange and wonderful experiance at the best of times would this be going too far!?

I don't think you can have a dumb idea here.
Sadly I don't attend many conventions, though I've enjoyed the ones i have been too

I only attend Redemption. It takes me two years to recover.

The mythology of Brentford sounds like a spectacular idea.
Not sure about the spoof bit though since it's all true. Eye-wink

Re: Robert in Fortean Times

What exactly is the difference between mythology and far-fetched fiction?

Did Hercules really do all that crazy gameshow challenge stuff, or was it ethanolically enhanced by a bloke in the Forum's pub?

Re: Robert in Fortean Times

Oh dear, I saw new posts on what I thought was a new topic thus rushed to the shop to buy this issue of Fortean Times, alas I had not noticed the issue in question was back in Mar 09 (only 17 months too late).

Note to self, look at the date of the original post rather than assuming because it is being discussed now it is a "current story" and thus a current issue, still I've spent my money now so I'll read whatever "non RR" articles are in it this month. Sad
