b"In GBA 170 we get better acquainted with Fran. We catch up on what's been happening since we studied together 12 years ago, which for Fran involves becoming a Goth, founding the Cheshire Liberation Front, doing interesting things with Harvest Mice, becoming an Interpretation Officer at the British Museum, climbing mountains and lots more. Also I am outed as a man who has worn a fedora and I duly squirm about it.\\n\\nFran plugs:\\n\\nThe Sheriff of Nottingham the HR Years The Musical: https://www.edfringe.com/whats-on/comedy/sheriff-of-nottingham-a-musical-musing-on-middle-management 10th-16th August at 7.30pm at The Hotel Ibis\\n\\nThe Cheshire Liberation Front: http://cheshire4life.blogspot.co.uk/\\n\\nI plug: \\n\\nStand Up Tragedy at the Free Fringe - 7.30pm every day from 2nd-22nd August at the Banshee Labyrinth\\n\\nWe mention:\\n\\nFedora: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora\\nFedora Meme: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/fedora-shaming\\nNice Guys of OK Cupid: http://www.buzzfeed.com/katienotopoulos/nice-guys-on-okcupid-are-the-worst\\nMJ Hibbett: http://www.mjhibbett.co.uk/\\nCarsmile Steve: https://twitter.com/CarsmileSteve\\nMoon Horse: http://www.mjhibbett.co.uk/moonhorse/\\nEdinburgh Special 1: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-15-edinburgh-festival\\nEdinburgh Special 2: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-71-edinburgh-festival\\nEdinburgh Special 3: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-124-stand-up-tragedy-at\\nPBH Free Fringe: http://www.freefringe.org.uk/\\nPBH Episode: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-live-8-peter-buckley-hill\\nSpark London: http://www.sparklondon.com\\nHackney Attic: http://www.picturehouses.co.uk/cinema/Hackney_Picturehouse/Attic/Hackney_Attic/\\nJen episodes: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/the-jen-episodes\\nAlan Moore: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Moore\\nSir Gawain and the Green Night: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Gawain_and_the_Green_Knight\\nCheshire Liberation Front's Political Indoctrination Rally: http://edinburghfestival.list.co.uk/event/227497-cheshire-liberation-fronts-political-indoctrination-rally/\\nWeight Watchers Magazine: http://www.weightwatchers.co.uk/shop/mag/\\nSlimelight: http://www.slimelight.com/\\nErotic Reading Group: http://metro.co.uk/2012/11/21/fleshing-out-the-story-the-rise-of-erotic-book-clubs-537703/\\nMexican Wrestling London school of Lucha Libre: http://londonschoolofluchalibre.blogspot.co.uk/\\nDarryl Hannah - Blade Runner: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=daryl+hannah+blade+runner&safe=off&rlz=1C1CHFX_en-GBGB456GB456&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=5oXGU9PLGpPG7AaIgIG4BA&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=985&bih=423\\nScafell Pike: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scafell_Pike\\nWilliam Makepeace Thackeray's belated Bicentenary: http://www.freefringeforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=131&t=1583\\nAl Murray: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Murray\\nMiriam Margolyes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miriam_Margolyes\\nAustentatious: http://austentatiousimpro.com/\\nBritish Museum: http://www.britishmuseum.org/\\nUCL: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/\\nThe Story: http://thestory.org.uk/\\nScott of the Antarctic: The Musical: http://www.chortle.co.uk/shows/edinburgh_fringe_2013/s/21909/scott_of_the_antarctic%3A_the_musical\\nStand Up Tragedy: http://www.standuptragedt.co.uk\\nRichard Herring - The Leicester Square Podcast: http://www.comedy.co.uk/podcasts/richard_herring_lst_podcast/\\nThe Art of Wrestling - Colt Cabana: http://tsmradio.com/coltcabana/\\nSisters of Mercy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sisters_of_Mercy\\nThe Cure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cure\\nFields of Nephilim: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fields_of_the_Nephilim\\nThe Mission: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mission_(band)\\nThe Cult: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cult\\nMarilyn Manson: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Manson\\nLee and Herring: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_and_Herring\\njanta - swedish term: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Jante\\nJerry Lee"
