I'm afraid I must put to rest the outrageous suspicions of some of the slightly more excitable forum members. I'm not famous, and I'm sadly not Robert Rankin either. I named myself after one of his characters - Barry the Sprout.
However Barry is a hard vegetable to pin down. He's in the Witches of Chiswick, but Rankin didn't get the name from me - I quite definately got it from him. Barry was first introduced to the Rankin canon of weird and wonderful characters in the early nineties in "Armaggedon: The Musical", and he also appeared in its two sequels. In these books he is a time travelling, genetically engineered, Brussel Sprout from the planet Phnaarg, sent to Earth to stop Elvis dying and thus to save the world from its assured destruction by the Antichrist, which only Elvis could prevent. However since then Barry has also been in several Lazlo Woodbine thrillers, in particular in the classic "Waiting for Godalming". In these he is no longer a real Sprout but instead a Gaurdian Angel, who happens to be a Brussel Sprout. A green gaurdian from Gods garden, as he puts it. Bearing in mind the normal plot of a Rankin novel is it any wonder continuity on stuff like this is pretty much out of the window... And he's also in the Witches of Chiswick, but then again so is pretty much every popular Rankin character. It's sort of a greatest hits of characters really. Hence why Barry appears in it, and I had the name several years previous. I must say, this was all slightly concerning... I haven't been on for the last few days and then when I come back the top topic in GD has got my name on it! How bizarre. [ 06-21-2004, 09:45 AM: Message edited by: Barry the Sprout ]
