Stephen Fry

They do not show this awesome docu of my beloved Fry + my personal condition here in the states. *sad*

have you tried ukn0v4? (degoogleproofed, obv?)

Can you get that BBC iPlayer thing, Trish? You might get to see it on that?

Good thinking, Batman.

Bad thinking, BBC. It only works on Windows machines. Sadface.

I got the docu in question off ukn0v4 back when it was first aired, so there's definitely video files floating around somewhere. Guess I'll be the dissenting voice here and admit that I found it rather uninteresting on the whole.
Fry is great - I particularly liked his appearances on Just A Minute. His raps on Whose Line Is It Anyway were always classic as well (the rap on A Bit of Fry & Laurie on the other hand, "Motherlover", was just as atrocious as every other rap-parody of the time)
Tried to read the Hippopotamus once, but had to give up. Am curious about the poetry for idjits book though.

Anyhoo, I hadn't heard of Room 101, but in case anyone's curious, the Fry episode is on youtube. Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLks-r4Mno8
You'll find parts 2 & 3 in the sidebar.

a paticularly good ROOM 101 that.

Is the BPD documentary different from "The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive"?

No, same thing.

this is hopkins's story to post really -- he put it on FT already -- but lol the woman he got talkin to outside a pubbe who said:

"you know the last person to go to jail for buggery? ORSON WELLES, that's who -- it was reading gaol, and when he came out he wrote a book about it and made a million"

This is marvelous: Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

the '50 NOT OUT' doc from the weekend is on you tube in full here:

SF's blog is the third result when I just searched for "blog".

where does it rank when you search for "tweedy old fart"?

so he's marrying his squeeze, a standup comic less than half his age.

hot-cha

this space reserved for a "small fry" comment as soon as I think of one

this guy looks like he's 12 and I am super creeped out and feel so old ugh

he's my age tbh

People are falling over themselves to say how this isn'tweird but it i s a bit and its weirder because they only met a few months ago and have, allegedly, only been going out since November.

hope for the best

circumstances are a little odd but hey, live let live etc

can't believe a celebrity got married

*is getting

Apparently there are dark rumours going around that a celebrity might not have known the person they are getting married to for very long

famous old man marries younger person

Ugh I first heard about this on a NZ news website and the headline was 'Stephen Fry to marry younger lover'. They called him his 'lover' through the whole article.

I can imagine Daily Mail trying to make the most of this.

Just went into the Daily Mail website so you don't have to. Naturally, I now know how much Stephen Fry's future in-laws' house is worth.

A paper here had the headline "Stephen Fry 'engaged'" which was p irritating (theyve changed it since).

Jarring to read this thread and be reminded that people once liked Stephen Fry.

Yeah, I was surprised how positive most of it is, especially after that Worst White Man thread. But I still like him.

he's grand. ilx is ilx.

I was also surprised because older ilx threads tend to be nastier and douchier.

He seemed rather less ubiquitous and set into the annoying Learned National Treasure Shall Tell You Things You Plebs Don't Know role ten years ago, before Twitter and only one series into QI.

I still somewhat like him, but I had the chance to go to a work "do" he was at in Autumn and decided I couldn't be bothered, which would have surprised my younger self.

I was in hyde park v early in the morning late last year and he was out jogging - well he was walking in jogging gear, hands on hips, looking absolutely *fucked*. was the image of someone in the early stages of getting fit who has overreached themselves. I say this as someone who has been on laughably overoptimistic "runs" myself but the muscles of his face looked aghast at what he was doing.

did remind of the time I saw andrew Neil absolutely BOXING his bike up the slight incline on Rotten Row once. Guy was busting a ventricle. rug surprisingly stable.

lol

that thing on Neil's head is a inefficacious hair transplant rather than a rug, surely? xp

im not sure it isnt paint

yes - I think that's right in fact.

Stephen Fry and Younger Lover, yesterday.

A paper here had the headline "Stephen Fry 'engaged'" which was p irritating (theyve changed it since).

Yes! 'Engaged' was in quotation marks in the NZ headline also. But to be fair I think it was probably a cut and paste from the UK article, that NZ site is so crap.

well, we've been waiting for years for gays to be as venal as the rest of humanity.

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden sure are off to a sweet start in 2015. The two "were married [Monday] evening in an intimate ceremony at their home in Los Angeles," their rep confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.

"We couldn't be happier to begin our new journey together surrounded by our closest family and friends," the couple tell PEOPLE.

The pair, who have been dating since May, got engaged just before Christmas.

"Getting married is the next step when you are totally in love and comfortable with someone," a source tells PEOPLE. "Cameron has found true happiness."

That is a super weird couple too.

to each his own age gap, but his spouse should at least get an adult haircut.
