This is a normal post What is it with Stephen Fry?
He's a tolerable comic actor, a decent raconteur, and tolerably smart. But... really.

I have to agree with the Willie Donaldson and Hermione Eyre appraisal of him: Stephen Fry is a stupid person's idea of a clever person.

This is a normal post He's your perfect uncle
Just someone terribly nice that you could rattle on with for hours over a bottle of red.

This is a normal post Hmmm...
I'm sure you could pass a wonderful evening in his company. Still, I'm not sure he'd be my first choice.


Mind you, I don't know who would.

This is a normal post This is the old dinner party question
And as I recall, you spent and enjoyable night with a group of lushes that made short work of a bottle of Blue Nun, and came up with interesting cocktails using the dregs from glasses, not too long ago ;)

Yup. Balls to witty erudition. It's overrated.

This is a normal post I'll have you both know
I can be drunk AND erudite and also am put out at not automatically being Enzyme's first choice as dining partner. I'll remember that next time I'm in a restaurant with him.

This is a normal post I'd taken you as there by default.
I should have made that clear.

Punish me.

I never thought he'd have Kerry Katona as number one.

This is a normal post I find him incredibly irritatingly smug
I tried to watch his documentary on depression but switched off when he bemoaned that he owned 14 ipods, 'oh poor me I just can't control myself'.... head up arse....

This is a normal post I love Stephen Fry on QI for the same reason
that I love Jeremy Paxman on University Challenge, and I used to love William G Stewart on 15 to 1.

He is asking all these questions, but you really get the feeling that he does actually know the answer to most of the questions without actually having to look down at his cards.
