"I love Doctor Who, hill walking, and am hoping for a liberal Catholic revival"?

Possibly one of the best personal ads ever...

I may try it if I get sufficiently desperate, though the image conjured up by the description 'male Anglo-Catholic Doctor Who fan' does not strike me as being likely to be terribly interested in the opposite sex.

Though come to think of it, I can think of at least two examples that clearly doesn't apply to, but as (a) they have demonstrated their interest in the opposite sex by getting married and (b) one of them is the Archbishop of Canterbury, I do not find this as reassuring as it could be.

Well yes, it could be seen as just one step short of "enjoys musical theatre" ... ;-)
