Uni quiz night again tonight. For whatever reason I was volunteered to play the part of Frankie Howard "a distinctive English comedian and comic actor whose career spanned six decades." says:

as we all dress up as Romans.

It's a bit worrying really. It started as something of a joke but given a choice of two other guys in the Library it was decided I was 'campest'. Now admittedly I could be terribly butch and still come out as 'most camp' if the other two are even more so... but I don't think that's what they meant!

Then it degenerated and they (by this I mean staff room tittletattlers) decided there was no male in the Library more camp.

Oh dear. It's an achievement of sorts I suppose. And I can hardly complain given that I'm a librarian in the first place. Librarianship isn't noted for it's high ratio of male to female staff. But it would have been nice for my legacy to have been *something* else...

OK, off to don my toga.
