Yesterday's Sketchbook

[tealin]

Page One - On Sunday I listened to 'Fat Man on a Bicycle' (a segment I'd recorded off Saturday Night Fry when it was on BBC7) and felt a lot better. What follows are bits and pieces for a Statement.
Page Two - More bits.

Seeing V again tonight, this time with a friend from school. How many times will I need to refresh my memory, I wonder, before enough of it sticks?

There was, actually. It was wonderful as a TV show though it was not a regular installment- more miniseries based on the different places the Fat Man comic went! Great fun. Here is what I found about it when I browsed for it on the web.

Fat Man - The celebrity nickname of British radio/TV personality Tom Vernon who starred in a series of travelogues sponsored by PBS and Britain's Channel 4 Television wherein he biked about the world in search of Epicurean delights (Food y'all). In 1987's "Fat Man Goes Norse" he visited towns in Norway and ate smoked reindeer. In 1990s "Fat Man Goes Gaucho," the blimpy Brit bicycled a thousand miles and feasted on the Argentinean cowboy delicacy, fried bull's testicles...Gulp! And in a 1991 installment, "The Fat Man Goes Cajun," Mr. Vernon experienced the Cajun culture and chowed down on Louisiana sausage, crayfish and alligator. With all of his bicycling bravado, he still weighed in at 250-295 pounds.
