Had a day out in Saltaire, Bradford today and bumped into the lovely Stephen Fry filming a documentary on accents. I'm not one for celebs but he is one of my favourite people and seemed happy enough to have a natter with me and the missus :y

In these PC tolerant days i admit to being homophobic & i don't care what the more reasoned & tolerant amongst you think of me. It's a mucky habit & blokes should'nt do that stuff to eachother, why on earth would they want to?

   That said i love Stephen Fry. He's a thoroughly decent quintessential archetypal English gentleman. I've never met him but would love too. He'd be a good dinner guest.

   Bloody nice bloke!!! :y

If its a 'mucky habit' that you dont approve of, how come he's a thoroughly decent chap, as you say? what about gays that arent famous and dont speak the Queens English,
would they not be welcome round your dinner table?

I usually find him pretty tedious and  a little self satisfied tbh, but I did enjoy his series fron the U.S.

Found his bi-pollar documentary interesting. Qi is great.

His autobio is quite a good read as well.  It would be better were it not for his continual appologising for being cleverer than most of us.

met mr fry several times when I worked in Kings Lynn years ago and he always came across as a nice feller ,not at all sort of "look at me Im famous". Really enjoyed a lot of his work whether it be tv or books and certainly top of my list if I was able to hold an interesting and humourous dinner party with anyone I wanted.
